Lurking on Twitter can be very entertaining

July 18th, 2009 No comments

Last night being a Twitter lurker made me laugh out loud. I follow a few celebrities, including the obligatory Stephen Fry and his fellow QI star Alan Davies. There are a few musos I follow too, but it’s hard to find genuine people who really post and not just a marketing team. Jem Godrey of Frost* fame is just the sort person to follow.

Anyway, let me set the scene… there were two big sports stories in the news yesterday. Firstly England were actually doing very well in the second Test in the current Ashes series. Amazing. Secondly Tiger Woods didn’t make the cut in the British Open tournament at Turnberry in Scotland.

Late in the evening Alan Davies Tweeted the following…

Now that what I call comedy

Now that's what I call comedy.

Brilliant!

Here is a picture of my cat, a Badger and a Dingo all the way from Australia.

Hollow Earth in the open air

July 6th, 2009 No comments

We had a great night out on Saturday. Hollow Earth played an open air concert at the Railway Tavern in Coltishall. A summers evening with classic prog rock… mmmm bliss. ;)

Their version of Fifth of Fifth is great, and yes they do perform the full version, wonderful piano intro et al. Have a listen. Sorry about the shoddy camera work, but the videos aren’t that bad considering they’re from my Canon IXUS 960 IS digital camera and handheld. Not easy when the songs are 9 minutes long. :)
