What made me sad/happy today

I went into a couple of children's wards at the local hospital and I was really sad because all the children were really ill but what made me smile was the fact that they were having fun and playing in the wards.
It just kind of makes me feel how lucky I am (without being selfish).

Any women suffering from domestic violence

Come to this instead, give yourself a night off...

Freedom From Violence (WOMEN ONLY)

New Futureheads tune

The Futureheads have announced their comeback (again) with a free download exclusive to mailing list members. The song is called Struck Dumb, and again shows The Futureheads getting back to their roots. The track is available from the Clash Music website or from The Futureheads homepage and will be available for free for one week only before being released as a full single on December 3rd.
The free downlowd follows other exclusive free tracks such as non-released Crash and This Is Not The World album teaser, Broke Up The Time.

Happy 110th Birthday

A very old lady celebrated her birthday today but complained that she was getting the same card from the Queen for 5 years so this year she got a new one. The full story can be viewed here.

We built this city on rock n roll

I have recently started shopping at Waitrose and their food is lovely. Like it's actually been made properly.
Yesterday I heard a great quote - The Cannes Film Festival is like Butlin's on acid.
So I decided to Google Butlin's on acid.
It gave me nothing. Nevermind.
I haven't picked up my bass in ages. Maybe when uni's finished...
Here's some funny stuff for your viewing pleasure.


And this is the full blooper...

New windows

Our house just got new windows and they actually open and close which is nice. And they are double glazed.

Sylar needs your help

Yesterday I came across a poll entitled The Best of 2009 in which you can go on and vote for American TV. Sylar has been nominated for the Best Villain award so it would be nice if you could do him a favour and go vote. You can do that by clicking here. There is no limit on how many times you can vote, I've actually lost count. So please get on there and vote Sylar!

Videos

I was just going to add to the last post but it's a bit long anyway. Here's some funny Heroes clips.

I tried to find the full clip because Zach's facial expressions in this scene are hilarious. What I did end up finding is a deleted clip from series 2.

Funnily enough I have no idea who he was killing except the person must have been invisible or something.
And finally this made me chuckle,I will never be able to listen to this song the same way again...

Upcoming gigsssss

Right, so in Newcastle there is always something going on. However, McFly haven't had an Autumn tour this year so they've not played here since April, when I didn't find out about that until a week before.
Usually I just post up gigs that I'm likely to be at but this time I thought I'd post up all of the upcoming shows as an early Christmas present for you all.

Right, so that's them all for like a year! I'd also like to add the following to that list:
VIVA CITY @ THE END on WED 18/11/2009 20:00. I assume it's tickets on the door kiddies. We've also got Jimmy Carr and Frankie Boyle coming up but when I tried to buy tickets for Frankie I got told there was only single seats left. And he's doing 3 nights too!
So that's my good deed of the day. Any questions go to www.seetickets.com. Enough for now.
