Fainting Goats

Following on from Ryaninja's Goats-in-trees Expose, please see the following video of, you guessed it - FAINTING GOATS!

Apparently this is what happens:

Myotonic goats are also called Wooden Leg goats, "stiff leg" or Tennessee fainting goats. These are one of the few goats that are indigenous to the U.S. There are two strains of this animal. Most of those found in Tennessee and the eastern U.S. are smaller. When the goat is being fed or becomes startled its muscules become stiff allowing the goat to fall on the ground in a fainting position.

Mental Japan

We all know that Japan is a mental place to go and visit, and whilst innocently looking for images in Google for the Mona Lisa I came across a stash of weird Japanese stuff. What happened was I managed to get access to some dude's web server and could access all of his pictures. Oddly he had put in some notes for all the pictures and I just randomly stole them to show you lot.

Check em out:

^ This apparently is the left luggage sign at a Japanese airport. Awesome use of the English language as you can see... "Suppose you found you have no key, it cost penalty of YingYang panayang whatever. hee hee!

^Here a British Funfair favourite has been converted to Japanese stylee! This time you can win a lobster - how cool is that!!

^This is a picture found on a wall in Japan somewhere (obviously) of Darth Vader talking to some schoolgirls. I don't get it...

^This is a T-Shirt available in a Japanese market of something that looks a bit like Mickey Mouse. No doubt this was endorsed by Walt Disney, it looks official. If you are an alien...

^Cigarettes - For a clean and tender heart. Hehe has no one told them this shit kills you?

^This is a sign found in a toilet. Why make taking a piss so complicated??

^...and finally no Japanese people have AIDs thanks to shops like Condomania!

So that's some of the weird pictures I found today. Japan. Mental.

What Fucking Village?

Cant be arsed to write anything. Here's a funny newspaper clipping instead...

Back to Work

I'm back at work today after the Christmas break. Bleeurrgghh.

It sucks, 50 squillion emails, problems, updates not done on the intranet, fuck-wits fucking up my shit - it's all going on here...

Had a good Christmas holiday but it seems to have gone far too fast and here we are back at work again. Boo hoo.

Why cant we have a New Year's week, where we go back to work on the 7th (or so) of January. Are you listening Tony Bliar ??

Pointless New Years Txt

Well Happy New Year everyone, may I wish you and your families an awesome 2006 with lots of fruity goodness as always.

I noticed something again this year and this happens a lot so it seems but you know how people insist on sending "happy new year" text messages just before, just after or smack bang on midnight? Well it happened again this year loads of people did this and it brought the servers crashing to the ground once again. Why does this happen??

It was first noted in the news back on the millenium celebrations, the first moments of 2000 Vodafone, Orange, One2One (now T-Mobile) and 02 all fucked up as people sent texts and a record number were sent which caused the problems. Now five years later THE SAME problems occur - why have they not fixed this 5 years later? It's weird because people just accept this, but it is UNACCEPTABLE service as far as I am concerned and the phone companies are in breach of contract.

When you send a text it costs you between 1 and 15 pence and you expect for your pennies the text to arrive at the recipient within a few minutes. Well I went to bed last night at about 2am and woke up at about 7.30am to find 4 text messages had arrived. All of these 4 were sent between 23.58 and 00.47 so should have arrived when I was still up but didn't. I would then surmise that these 4 senders should be granted a refund as their texts were not received in a timely manner but I bet that doesnt happen.

Mobile phone companies rip you off at times like these. You are spending your money on texts that don't arrive or arrive late, and on big occassions such as the recent bombings in london and at New Years and so on, millions of texts go missing or don't arrive - it's just not on now is it.

Anyway thanks to those who did text me, but why the fuck do people bother sending happy new year texts anyway? It's all a bit pointless isn't it?

Hpy Nw Yr!! :o) <--- Is that really worth 10p ??
