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.
