2014-03-20T23:17:00.001+00:00

So I'm a McFly fan and one of the McFly members had a baby this week. well he didn't have the baby.. his lovely wife did. They shot a cute video to celebrate the event. I've included it below, courtesy of Toms Channel on YouTube.

I get a bit freaked out by bare pregnant bellies but i could just about manage it for this video, so you should be fine too!

Low blow

This is sad... I never realised it before.

Can't help but giggle though. Its wrong... but it is pretty funny.

Try not to sing it

2012-11-08T13:00:00.000+00:00

I'll cut straight to it....

You sang it didn't you. I can't read it without doing it. When Lion King 3D was in the cinema the sound was missing for the trailers. In a panic I said "we're gonna miss the", and out loud, I sang whats on this shirt! and shortly after kicked up a fuss at the desk to get the sound on.

You cant be missing that now....

Do you go to the cinema to see Disney movies re-done in 3D?

I want to be in you

2012-11-08T11:00:00.000+00:00

I drink a lot of water. Like ... a lot! I always have a bottle with me. If I don't have a bottle/glass of water nearby I fear I may evaporate or shrivel up like a raisin I dont like raisons. Or turn to dust like a vampire hit by light (pre shiny vampires - i'm talking old school vampires) and although I do the idea of vampires, my demise vampire stylee does not sound pleasant.

So continue to drink water I will. Its good to know it likes me as much as I like it!!

In conclusion. Drink more water... it wants to be your friend!!!

Hey - Ye olde lady

2012-11-08T09:00:00.000+00:00

So true

2012-11-07T09:00:00.000+00:00

The so true moment of the week.

I have stood frozen staring at it afraid that it would move although not prepared to do anything if it did. My sister was stranded in her house, watching a one, that she couldn't leave alone just in case, while I sent over someone to rescue her.

Remember Remember...

2012-11-05T18:10:00.000+00:00

Its Remember Remember day!

and as it is one of my favourite movies.. here's my favourite V soliloquy :

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valourous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I never knew there were that many V words. Happy 5th !

Dragon Baby

2012-11-02T10:00:00.000+00:00

Disney Strikes Back

2012-11-01T22:56:00.000+00:00

So it was announced recently that Disney has bought Lucas Film for a ridiculous amount of money (see article here).

And in her true genius, Ms Mebberson has immortalized the news with a super smart edition of Pocket Princesses.

She's a really great artist. Check out her other artwork here.

Raptors all up in the kitchen

2012-10-31T20:38:00.000+00:00

So recently I was in hospital after a minor operation and my sister shared this with me.

I laughed and laughed.. for about half an hour. And whenever I remembered it again.. I laughed again. I don't think it was just the medication they had me on.

I still find it hilarious.

"Raptors all up in the kitchen Phil!"

He had one job.....Ha... Awesome!!!

So due to the lovely life in Ireland at the moment, a lot of people are moving to bigger and better things in sunnier climates. Sent this to a friend who recetly moved to Oz and she said that its a little too true!
