Pilkipedia!

So I listened to the Ricky Gervais's Podcast for the first time even though it's been going for a while.  I really didn't expect much from it, but I found my self laughing a lot.  Not at Ricky but at my namesake Karl Pilkington, one part of the trio that is the podcast along with Stephen Merchant.  They just get Karl to tell stories so they can make fun of everything he says.  Sound familiar?

Karl Quote: "You build up to it, don't you? You have that bit of a chat, and you go "alright? Hows it going?". You get on an' that and then a little baby pops out."

The funny thing is Karl sounds totally serious while he's telling these stories while the other 2 are snickering in the background.  Well Gervais is squealing with laughter in the background. 

When I was listening to it I thought he was a 60 year old from his voice and the way he talked.  But then I looked him up and he's only 38.

Found a whole 'pedia' devoted to him.  Maybe one day I will know this joy!

Loud Neighbours

I swear swear SWEAR the guys upstairs run a wood shop/professional stomping competition.

Consideration simply doesn't exist in today's society.  

One day I will break out my finest hacksaw and just enjoy making them footloose.

Newcastle United to sell fans extra stripes for new kit

The club was criticised yesterday after revealing the new black and white Puma-designed home kit clearly missing several of the Magpies’ traditional white stripes...

Haha!  The life of a blue collar fan in northern England.

Here's a solution for those blokes concerned about spending  extra money for extra stripes.  DON'T!

If you don't like it then don't buy it.  I'm guessing these fans feel they have to be wearing the latest jersey or kit because they think they are the 12th man on the field or something.  Well you aren't.  If you're gonna add stripes to it wont be the same anyway.  Just stop!!  Please.  Don't be an idiot.

Go to Toffs and get a retro jers. All the stripes you want.  No sponsor.  Will last you forever.  Win! Win! Win!

Happy "Mother's" Day!

So I was watching Breakfast Television briefly yesterday and they were talking about old Canadian food franchises that don't exist anymore.   They mentioned Mother's Pizza from back in the awesome 80's.  I have such fond memories of that place.  I was at countless Birthday parties including my own at the one that was on Weber and Kinzie in Ktown.

So after 1 minute of BT banter that felt like a lifetime they mention that the franchise is being relaunched.  So before I let my skepticism of new places trying to recapture past glory or my pizza place abandonment issues take over.  I'll just say one thing.  Pizza Party at Mother's!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HotDocs: YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED






Went to my first hopefully not only doc at the hotdocs festival last night.  It was a really good one.  The trailer gives you the back-story.  I recommend seeing it if and when you can.  It's a kind of 'Big Shot Business Man has an idea and nothing will stand in his way to achieve this' narrative that really gives a telling view of how Donald Trump is able to bypass the law and basic human rights and force his way on almost everyone.  Almost!
