"i am me" - team gb on the bbc

watching sunday nights spoty (that the bbc sports personality of the year) i thought the whole thing was excellent but i especially enjoyed the video featuring some of team gb's paralympic medalists.

to watch click here and skip to 37:24 on the video (or watch the whole programme!).

it reminded me of the brilliant advert for the gb paralympic team that came out just before the games back in the summer.

this is an awareness test

thought this animation was very apt with whats currently happening in the united states.

crowe lee deehan delap sodje (by keane)

this is possibly one of the funniest things i've ever heard in my life.

it featured on the 606 football phone in with danny baker on bbc radio 5live a few weeks back. basically a guy called "teletext alex" has replaced all the words to "bohemian rhapsody" by queen with the names of footballers. the song is therefore now called "crowe lee deehan delap sodje" by keane.

i will say no more, just watch and listen.

tony blair on the daily show

tony blair recently made a very interesting appearance on the daily show with jon stewart.

this show is more often than not the best place to get a realistic view of american (and often world) politics.

mr blair doesn't offer too many nuggets of wisdom (when did he ever?) as it seems more of an advert on his part to publicise his new course in faith and globalisation at yale university (weird hey?).

in my opinion the best point made during the interview was from jon stewart himself when he talked about the fact that in the end 19 people actually carried out the attacks on 11th september 2001. he asked is it possible to go to war enough, to make the world safe enough, that 19 people wouldn't want to attack "us" again.
