It’s a falcon Richard.

Comedy | Linkage | Television | penge @ 23:30, September 3rd, 2010.

In my ideal world, this would be an example of televisual entertainment every single night.

“It’s like a thing… on a blue background.” Mega.

Hunting the Beasties

Linkage | SF | penge @ 09:00, August 28th, 2010.

I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere, and I certainly didn’t see much about it being made, but I’ve stumbled across an online gem that will soon hopefully grace our screens in full glorious technicolour. Sorry, technicolor.
The shiny gem is a short web-based show called Beast Hunters. It’s made by the BBC and follows a group [...]

Games in less bits

Gaming | Linkage | penge @ 17:43, August 26th, 2010.

Modern computer games often bleat on about how realistic they are. Whether it’s the detail on each individual grain of sand in the desert or the accurate physics of the blood spurting from an enemies head-wound, all the attention seems to be on how it looks and not how it plays.
So would some of these [...]

I AM HIM!

Comedy | Linkage | Respect | penge @ 20:28, July 6th, 2010.

The below clip has been rated as having an awesomeness level of twelve-billion to the power of twenty-six billion squared. Plus seven. Plus jelly. Green jelly, obviously.

Why this series isn’t out on DVD I don’t know, but it should be. Come on BBC, sort it out. If you don’t know what it is, it’s Fist [...]

T-Shirt suicide

Insanity | Linkage | penge @ 16:29, July 4th, 2010.

T-shirts with cunning slogans or amusing pictures on them are a common sight these days but whoever invented this t-shirt design here is obviously catering for the niche “I want to die but don’t want to commit suicide so I’ll let some other people do it for me” market.
A shame really, because the little fella [...]

I see you!

Linkage | penge @ 19:49, June 16th, 2010.

Google Street View generally evokes three types of emotions in people:

Wow! Amazing! What can we see? Look, it’s my house! (come on, one of the first things you ‘Google street viewed’ was your own house, wasn’t it? Even though you live there)
Meh. Whatever. Streets. I’ll use it if I need some directions.
Aargh! Invasion of privacy! [...]

Hear me Prime Minister! Hear me!

Current Affairs | Linkage | penge @ 23:30, June 12th, 2010.

We live in a lovely Democratic society, with some sort of curious hybrid Government that nobody really understands but has accepted as ‘the way it is’, and as such we have the power of free speech. We have the power to say what we like and say what we don’t like, and some annoying folk [...]

Holy iTunes Popeman!

Linkage | Music | penge @ 19:29, June 3rd, 2010.

Take a moment to imagine… The Pope. Older fellow, big hat, white robes, kindly face, really big hat, cross, blessed sandals, really properly amazingly big hat that I want, speaks to God and stuff. OK, are you picturing him? Imagine him in the sacred halls of the Vatican or something, surrounded by numerous treasured classical [...]

Sparking hell

Linkage | Science / Technology | penge @ 20:02, May 27th, 2010.

I did consider making a new category for this video to go into called “So immensely awesome you’ll probably explode and die” but I thought it might scare people away.
So just watch the video below and try not to explode and die from it’s sheer awesomenessnessness.

If you have just exploded and died from watching the [...]

This sweet’s a bit hard…

Filth | Food | Linkage | penge @ 19:28, May 19th, 2010.

First things first, I can’t take any credit for the link below, it was spotted and drawn to my attention by none other than my wife and communism-conquering do-gooder The Feisty Kim.
I’ll cut to the chase… a lady in Surrey purchased some tasty, delicious jelly-based sweets to snack upon. Well done her, we like jelly-based sweets here [...]

Randomlinkage’s Election Position

Current Affairs | Linkage | penge @ 19:39, May 4th, 2010.

Before anyone even has a crude thought, I said ELECTION position. ELECTION. I know what some of you are like, Dodd and Geekboy, so stop sniggering at the back of the class. This is deep, intelligent, grown up stuff, which requires mature thought and considered opinions.
So, with the election creeping up on us like a [...]

Spot the hidden message

Filth | Imagery | Linkage | penge @ 17:30, April 24th, 2010.

There is absolutely no way that The Feisty Kim, my dear wife and vigilante fighter of crime, would leave a cryptic and childish message in the image below. Absolutely no way at all.

Wrong or right? Right or wrong?

Comedy | Linkage | penge @ 21:00, March 26th, 2010.

Whilst I continue The Search for Trench (he’s not down the back of the sofa nor behind the door), you should all watch this delightful little ditty.
The music comes from Joe Cornish, of Adam and Joe fame, whom we are big fans of at The Towers. The video… er… I dunno, but it’s cartoony and [...]

Fun at Bug

Linkage | penge @ 20:41, February 12th, 2010.

The other night, I had the pleasure of watching ‘Bug‘, which is a two hour comedy presentation of music videos, stuff off YouTube and other things that are either interesting or funny or, sometimes, both. The evening is hosted by the lovely, cuddly, beardy Adam Buxton, of Adam and Joe fame.
To be honest, I went [...]

Muppets + Queen = The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

Comedy | Linkage | penge @ 13:00, January 29th, 2010.

I think that I can state the two facts below with confidence that they are both true for 99.9% of people living on the planet:

Everybody likes The Muppets.
Everybody likes Queen (the band, not the Monarch)

So when The Muppets and Queen are combined, what is the result? This majestic piece of brilliance, all wrapped up with [...]
