Dude, Where's My Plane?
Having recently seen Zeitgeist (see my previous blog) and suddenly becoming wildly paranoid about everything, I have built up some theories about Air France flight 447 and why it's suddenly 'vanished'.
First, I am pretty certain the mystery of the disappearance will continue long after the black boxes are recovered, and I am certain that the French government are already planning how to convincingly 'lose' the black boxes before their contents are revealed to the public.
Let me explain.

And I don't use the word **** without good reason! I was watching television sometime this week (it doesn't happen very often) and I practically shat myself when the new SEAT advert came on.
Let me show you a picture of the new car they're releasing called the "Exeo".

How long before Lexmark Spears hits the stage? Music is shite at the moment. Apart from Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift who I could quite happily watch all day.
On mute.

My, that's chilly This week sees North Korea, henceforth Nork due to its similarity to a colloquial term for boobies, being exceptionally stupid and waving a giant intercontinental ballistic red flag at the nuclear superpowers.
Nork deemed it necessary to show off how big the brains are of its scientists and launch a satellite into space using a Taepodong-2 (I shit you not) long-range missile.

And the award for "couldn't provide worse customer service if they tried" goes to... What a fucking farce.
How hard can it be? The process is this: Customer comes into your shop, they see a sofa (or set of sofas) that they like, they exchange money for a receipt, then at a subsequent date the sofas are taken off the back of a van and put inside the customer's house.

| Introducing two future classics from Lost Johnnies... |
|
Sometime in 2004, G and Rich recorded over four hours of themselves playing random music and some exceptionally daft lyrics. When they were playing back the four hours of dicking about, these two songs stood out from the rest. Simon Cowell, if you'd like to get in touch and discuss some seven figure deals, we're all ears, mate.
This is what LJ was invented for... |

Audi A5 (Motoring)
Style and Design
Audi have become a very popular brand lately and not without good reason. Their car build quality is without rival, the range of cars available is recognised throughout the industry as having the best interior of any vehicles on the road (with possible exception left to the Bugatti Veyron... but that's a special case as we all know...). And the bold design change in 2003 giving the range that gaping-mouth grille has been very well received.
But I'm an Audi fanatic, I drink, sleep and eat Audi. I annoy my family and friends with obscure knowledge of the Audi R10 Le Mans racer's turbo diesel engine. I leer wantonly as I pass the Audi dealership on the way into town. So naturally, I'm going to say their design direction is spot on, their cars are beyond compare, and their styling is impeccable... aren't I?

Easyjet plc (Companies)
Sleazyjet or You Get What You Pay For Jet?
Tonight, I watched Airline on UKTV Discovery ITV +1 hour Sky Digital MTV Unnecessary Punctionation! Geographic. On Freeview (Sky TV being so expensive these days only people on the dole can afford it!). And I watched 30 minutes of emotive, edge-of-the-seat television. It was wonderful.
For starters, there was a woman, short, bleached hair, and her daughter (who was probably as unsure of her mother's sexuality as we were). She had arrived late for her plane, granted it was 5 minutes late, but she was late. Simple as that.

Microsoft Technology Preview (Technology)
June 2007
Today, three architects from 'the big M' turned up at work today and gave a stunning, enthralling five hour presentation (10am - 3pm) on their next generation of developer software and a peek into the world of some of their new technologies.
Warning: The following is extremely geeky. If you suddenly find the urge to hug your knees and rock back and forth, we highly recommend you try reading a blog about F1 instead... - Rich.

F1 2007 Monaco Grand Prix (Sports)
"The most boring Monaco Grand Prix in history" - The Sun
The build-up was electric. Monaco is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the Formula One season and it was finally here.
Expectation was high for the new English rookie, Lewis Hamilton. He was leading the World Championship after four races leaving Finnish "Ice Man" Raikonnen, greasy Brazilian Massa and current title-holding Champion (his team-mate) Fernando Alonso in his 22-year-old dust. But Lewis was yet to win a race, hell he'd only had four of them so far, it was only his consistency that pulled him through to lead.

The A1 Northbound (Motoring)
Between Washington and Gosforth
Well this morning I tested the A1 between Washington and Gosforth, and thought I'd utilise Rich's new Roadtest section to tell you all about it. Well it was very busy passing the Angel of the North, as it is every morning (three lanes would help ease this problem should you read this Mr Council person) but other than that it was lovely.
Next time - Sandy Lane

(Carlton Egremont III) Mr Bunny's Guide to ActiveX (Technology)
A guide to ActiveX for both experienced software developers and preschoolers alike.
One day last week, a chap on my team at work broke his computer with the effectiveness that only a veteran software engineer can do. Jokingly, I sent him a link to a "Computers for Beginners"-style book on Amazon. In return, he mailled me a link that forever changed the way I think about computers. And bunnies.
For some reason, my PC was going slow and the Amazon page he had linked me to refused to do anything but be a nice shade of white. The guy then asked my to search Google for a different retailer of the book. "Just search for Mr Bunny", he said.
