“Cam-moron” – 5/10 bit of an easy pun that one
“The wishes of the majority of people in the nation have been nickcleggted” – 8/10 getting better
“Apparently BBC focus magazine actually printed that David Cameron directed Avatar!” - 10/10 utter genius
“David Cameron must be pleased to be moving out of the house where they film Outnumbered” (via simon pegg) 9/10
But it seems the public have spoken, the fave is ….
con/dem nation – clever, simple and the new goverment buzz word.

oddly enough i’m really looking forward to sitting in tonight and watching the election coverage.
it’s certainly an odd thing to say but I think it’s been a long time since the country got behind something that wasn’t a mindless celebrity generator (I’m looking at you big brother, pop idol etc)
for a long time i did think we where living in a society where the idiots where winning, but it seems everyone has an opinion (right or wrong)
obviously a lot of this is driven by the papers which for me are becoming mindless wastes of natural recourse featuring selective reporting and utter bias.
sorry went off on one there
so i’m not going to bang on about where I am putting my cross because everyone has there beliefs and good on you for that.
but does anyone else think daviid cameron is a cylon?

i spent most of yesterday channelling my inner springsteen to the new hold steady album. it’s always a bit of a highpoint for me whenever these guys release an album. i guess the reason there so great is because as steve would put it, “there a bunch of embarrassing old dads up on stage playing each show like its there last”. its for that reason i think there great, and my contender for album of the year (thus far)
other then that not much to write home about, the weekend was busy one what with disappearing off to the grand designs show. It was less romeroville than the ideal home show, i swear next time i go there i will take my chainsaw.
lastly i watched a great movie the other night called “away we go” . it’s the story of a couple just about to have a baby going on a road trip to see friends and family in a bid to find somewhere to bring up there family. for some reason i can’t get this movie out my head. if you loved garden state, elizibethtown (or cameron crowe type movies) then check it out , it’s kinda nice.

for the last couple of days i have been strugling to put together a a quiz for explorer scouts
being a massive die hard nerd i have made it my mission to put together a star wars based quiz for may the fourth, or star wars day (geddit)
i’m hoping its going to be a fun night and have a few ideas but i’m also kinda strugling, thankfully a trusted member of the nerd herd is helping me out.
now there is no way this will descend into a mass star wars geek out session
not in the slightest

funny thing happened this morning, i updated my ipod to listen to a brilliant podcast i get every week called the nerdist. I really look forward to this for lots of reasons, but not wanting to limit myself i also decided to add some music.
my tunes of choice where a couple of bsides by a great band called “fighting with wire”
so off i set on my bike to work, it didn’t take me very long to discover the the contents of my ipod consisted of just two fighting with wire bsides.
if you happened to be in the surrey area and you heard a massive doh, it was me.

keep it honest, – in the words of ben folds “there is always someone cooler than you” so i’m not going to be something i’m not
keep it varied – straight off the bat, i’m going to be writing about some pretty random stuff and it’s going to be mainly really nerdy
keep it simple – no more flashy images videos etc, i kind of lost it in my first attempt so no more of that stuff.
lastly a lot of people see this as a vanity project - yes it is, but i’m not married to this stuff, its a hobby.
enjoy reading
