Out of the very small bit of Turkey I visited earlier this year, I came across about thirty petrol stations on the way to the hotel from the airport. Twenty or so of them were Petrol Ofisi sites (three of them were within 500 yds of each other on a motorway).
Although, in a country filled with oil and money, I never encountered something as beautiful as this.
(it's lovely, so it's in blue)

I'm not sure. He could obviously hear the woman and could have at least spent two minutes or so with them.
In other news, I am eating a pie.

Gather around this YouTube playlist I'm compiling. It seems a bit weak right now, but I'm adding stuff all the time to it.
Enjoys.

SCENE 1. INT. CORNER SHOP. DAY. MRS McFLUFFY FACE ENTERS THE SHOP, OWNED BY MR PONCEFLAPS. McFLUFFY IS A POSH, STUCK-UP LADY, WHO LIVES IN A MANSION NEARBY. SHE DRESSES IN A VICTORIAN FASHION, WITH PURPLE/VIOLET HAT AND VELVET COAT. PONCEFLAPS IS A TWO FOOT TALL GENTLEMAN, BALD AND THIRTY STONE OVERWEIGHT. HE LOOKS LIKE A FULLY SHAVEN SANTA CLAUS, WHO HAS BEEN FLATTENED BY A SPERM WHALE. McFLUFFY APPROACHES PONCEFLAPS, WHO IS STANDING EARGERLY AT THE SHOP COUNTER. PONCEFLAPS: Excuse me Ma'am, I have eaten your poodle. THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Ooooh, YouTube has a nice shiny embed design. Again. This time, they've introduced new colour schemes, which seems to be a good idea. I'm going to adopt this for the blog.
For example:
Really sick and NSFW videos, like this one of a boy eating dog poo, has a red display.
And this one, of a quality moment in TV history, is in a nice calm green.

Blunty3000, the guy who I sampled in my bluescreen video, has some strong views on pretentious art teachers that have to be heard.

I sure hope so.
I've been testing out some blue screen stuff in Movie Maker as a sort of "here's what's on later on the show" bit.
It's a little bit messy at the beginning and at the end (and generally throughout the video), but that's Movie Maker for you.
What do you think

I've came across this little forum who have photoshopped Garfield comic strips to a point where they become completely random. So random, it's rendered the comic funny.
Here are some of my personal favourites:
edit - some more here. not too keen on the mirrored ones.

A little Facebook app here that is gauranteed to grow bigger.
Get Free Condoms on Facebook
The main gist is to sign up to offers (DVD rental trials, poker websites) and get "Bangin' Bucks" to spend in the condom store.
I'm gonna give it a try, and post the results up here.
edit - fixed the link. every click gets me some jams. yay!

So the iPhone was released in the UK on Friday. On upon seeing it for the first time revolving in a small cylindrical glass case in San Francisco eleven months ago, I knew that it would be a huge thing. I also knew that I wanted it. And that it would be at an extortionate price. I'm not going to a Stephen THE MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN IS A GREAT ORIGINAL IDEA Who'd have thought it? A huge touch screen instead of fiddly plastic buttons that are too small and too closely placed together is a good idea. Not the best of ideas, as I'll say later on, but better than a crappy cheap plastic thing. THE MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN IS SOMETIMES CRAP Before you start saying, hey, you've contradicted yourself, you stupid self-contradicting fool, I said above that it is a good original idea. But it does have flaws. Sometimes it becomes very easy to make mistakes if you're in a hurry, and sometimes the predictive text won't work as well either. But that's just like a normal mobile, you'll make a mistake and the predictive text can screw a sentence up. But some people may get irate after a while and do a John Dvorak. THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN YOUR POCKET How handy is that? The whole internet, in a beautiful web browser, all in your hand. I could really do with something like that for when I'm on the bus or Metro doing my "special pointless errands". And because I have high speed Wi-Fi in my house, I'd use it more than my laptop. THE EDGE NETWORK ONLY COVERS 20% OF THE UK Yes, it covers part of the area I live in, like some of the bus route and a little bit of the Metro route too. But if I was to go down the country or go up past the Scottish border, the EDGE network probably won't cover that area. And if it does, it'll be painfully slow. A guy called Joey from Indianapolis talked about his BlackBerry that uses the same AT&T EDGE network as the US iPhones, and he did not like it. YOUTUBE WIDGET This is genius. All the content of YouTube full screen on the beautiful multi-touch display. The ability to log in with your YouTube account and add videos to your favourites is great. In this Apple video, we see footage of a bunch of men attempting to jump a river on mountain bikes just shows you how endless YouTube is. NO FLASH PLUG-IN This is where the iPhone lets itself down severely. Although you can have as many YouTube videos as possible, you cannot access Vimeo or LiveVideo, which is pretty bad. At least the Wii contained a version of the Flash plug-in so we could use websites more efficiently, instead of no version of it leaving you annoyed and hairless. And those are my views on the iPhone. Not exactly a compliment sandwich, more of a compliment Big Mac.
Fry delve deep into why I adore the device so much and why I want to make love to it (imagine that, through the headphone socket? That's awful), but I will do a Stewie Griffin, and give it a compliment sandwich instead.

I haven't done a post in a while, so this is to let you know I still care. It's like forgetting that you really need to do a massive shit you've been holding in for a week. But now it's there. If anyone cares, I'm typing and publishing this in Word. Oh wows.
