Here’s something you definitely didn’t need to see, but will undoubtedly make you go, “whooo, wow, awesome” or possibly, “who spends time on things like this???”. Either way, its certainly a sure fire way of erasing a disk!

This is an incredible short stumbled across recently. Bruce Branit’s “World Builder” short film is a impressive piece of storytelling. While it begins initially with a lot of technology, it is an impactful and rewarding human story that is one of the best short films I’ve come across for a few years. Enjoy!

Ever bought something and realised you could have bought it down the road for £20 less? Im sure most of us have, I certainly know I have, but Google have developed a new app which allows you to quickly check you’re getting the best deal when you’re out and about. Not only that, it even scans barcodes for you, and takes pictures of book covers, how easy is that?! But most importantly, its free. Surely it’s a must have? I know Im impressed…

What do you do in Texas when you have a few hours to kill and your friend has taken it upon herself to be more strict about your diet than you ever believed possible? Well, as the eating my body weight in burgers and fries was not allowed, we had to find something else that was just as traditionally American as over eating and just as much fun.

‘I want to fire a machine gun.’

Was the confident response when I suggested visiting a shooting range. So, what the lady wants, the lady gets! It’s American as a 10,000 calorie double slice of apple pie with a side of cheese cake and onion rings and it appealed to our James Bond/Angelina Jolie fantasies.

A quick internet search turned up the Bullet Hole shooting range, which gave us a choice of rifles, machine guns and handguns and the sort of policy that allows you to hand over a small amount of cash and a driving licence in return for fully automatic weapons and enough ammunition to take on a small country.

Still, they were very friendly and with a range officer who gives you the confidence boosting feedback that ALL of your shots would have been kills and a positive attitude to allowing us to pose with various Military grade ordinance, it’s good clean fun for all the family and apparently the Walther P22 is ‘ideal for home defence’, which certainly makes me feel safer in the home!

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen… last night we attended the third match in the burgeoning boxing career of Mr Jasset Ormsby and with a healthy measure of alcohol, a smattering of sporting violence and a dash of controversy, what a night it turned out to be. In a river front Vauxhall venue, a card of the highest quality had been assembled, with the standout match being 2^nd on the line-up.

J, as the lightweight legend is affectionately known, was paired with a tough Irish battler called Ian, but came out like a whirlwind in the first, keeping his guard high and forcing the Irishman back against the ropes. The crowd roared and the match looked like it would not last the 3 rounds.

In the second the spirit of the Irish returned and he landed some heavy blows, but neat footwork and some aggressive advances kept J out of the corners and although his guard slipped a couple of times, his superior fitness and strong jaw saw him through.

Despite obvious tiredness, both men showed their quality in the third, with a clinical first minute followed by an attacking flurry from each, which lasted to the bell. The match was close, but those watching were in no doubt to whom the honour went. However, the referee, who may have been distracted by the bikini clad board girls, saw it differently and announced a draw.

J accepted the decision with good grace, but his corner and the crowd were indignant. He was robbed, but he emerges the moral victor and both men have agreed to a rematch…so watch this space!
