Entertainment stuff from the week 1-7/7/13

Hi Nakedarklings!


Today marks 10 years of Permission To Land :) :)

In 2003, the world had its first chance to become familiar with The Darkness - its powerful guitar sounds, its moving melodies and its seering vocals, provided by the 'truth larynx' of Justin Hawkins.

I have a YouTube playlist of them, which is here and available for your perusal:

Give me a 'd'... give me an 'arknessforever' :D


I suppose, being a Rationalist, i would have to concede that the NHS, which celebrated its 65th anniversary two days ago, should receive greater acclaim.

It is the best healthcare service in the world, after all. And no, America, yours is nowhere near as good. With the NHS, you don't have to be rich to get treatment.

Happy Birthday NHS!

Series 59 of ISIHAC is here! Episode 1 is on iPlayer, if you can hear it:

If you want to hear more zany humour from Graeme, Barry and some others who also appear on Clue, then Series 2 of Hamish and Dougal has been airing recently:

A curious observation that i made, this week, regards an advert i saw for the UK holiday camp company 'Butlins' (Click the link to see the ad)

Secondarily-curiously, the advert that they uploaded to YouTube appears to have been monetarized which means... you have to watch someone else's advert before you can watch theirs #-S

The observation of curiousness that i made is not that the smallprint states "Bognor Regis resort shown" even when it's an animation; oh no no...

It's the music.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tap - it's The Trololo Song - we all know that. We were there. We heard the song; we sang along; we got a t-shirt with the lyrics on it.

But wait!

The actual name of that song is... and please bear in mind that this song is being employed by a holiday camp that you deliberately leave home in order to enjoy...

'I'm So Glad To Finally Be Back Home' LOL

Presumably, Butlins is either unaware that the song is called this; or they are aware but thought no-one would notice.

Well i did, Butlins! I did.

So shove that in your trololouge and smoke it!!

:-D


On the subject of recreation, here's a heads-up for you:

Nude Recreation Week starts tomorrow!
http://www.naturistsociety.com/tns/n_events/TNS_Events.html

So if you like to get your gongs out and wave them in the breeze... or just not bother to get dressed sometimes... you now have an excuse :-D

And if you like to get your fuzz hot while tanning in the summer sunshine, then this is your chance :-)


...and that neatly/unkemptly segues into this memory of Hot Fuzz :o)

...and to the latest in the Shaun-Fuzz-End trilogy.

'Chernobyl exclusion zone wildlife: Przewalski's horses, june 2013'
Reintroduced in 1998, this species of wild horse has been maintaining itself around the minimally-irradiating modern lands of Chernobyl... until poachers caused thier populations to turn downward in recent years. Man is more dangerous than radiation!

I can't believe they said that!
His skin's far too smooth and hairless to be likened to a scrotum...

This is how daytime TV goes, in the UK :-D

That's Katie Hopkins, btw - she withdrew from season three of 'The Apprentice' over money for breeding - and hopes to be a Conservative Party MP one day.
She seems adequately qualified [smug grin]

------------------------------------------------------ of the weeks

Word Of The Week: banquette -- a small footpath, on the inside of a wall or rampart; or an upholstered bench or footbridge

Headline Of The Week: 'Man Stumbles Upon Reptile Near Sewer, Offers Gator Aid'

Superhero Of The Week: River-Path-Indecent-Exposure-Man

Expression Of The Week: "just like downtown" -- pertaining to an event that's gone well, as planned; like life downtown, in a city; which city isn't specifically known

Etymology Of The Week: disappointed -- from 'disappoint' meaning 'to lose an appointment' (a position of office) and through the later meaning of 'disappoint' - to fail to keep an appointment'; hence why the opposite of the modern 'disappointed' is not 'appointed'

Fact Of The Week: Denmark has an award called the Order Of The Elephant, which is almost-exclusively bestowed on 'royals' or Heads of State; the design comes from the badge of the religious confraternity called the Fellowship of the Mother of God
