Rude stuff

When we arrived in our hotel in Bangkok, I noticed a strange button on the remote control for the TV. Was it quick access to a Thai porn channel? No, it was merely the brightness / contrast control.
What can you say? :)

There are a few of these types of rude English we've seen on our travels. In Japan you could buy a choc bar called 'Colon cream' mmmmm and we also spotted a cafe called, 'cafe spazio', i've got photographic evidence of that one, which i'll publish in good order.

In Vietnam, Natrang, we spotted a hotel called 'Phu Que' and its sister hotel called 'Phu Que 2', there was also a 'Phu Que 3', but thats just plain silly.

One for the Boys

Plastic dollys......mmmmmmmmmm :)

mmmmmmm.......fish

and just because i've learn't to do it.....have at look at this vid....don't look at it if you don't like fish eating fish, Jess, you'll hate this :)

OOh OOh

That's right, ooh ooh, just been to see King Kong and it was apetastic :) Alright, it starts a little slowly, takes say 40 mins to get to the island, but from the island to the end of the film it's full on!!! The cg and special effects are absolutely amazing and they're pretty much constant, New York from the 30's loooks amazing, I got vertigo really badly at the end when Kong's on the Empire state, got some nice sweaty palms cause of the vertigo! No spoilers here, but there are dinasaurs in this version and there's tons of em, just check out the trailer below... Make sure you see this at the cinema to do it justice, I'm sure there will be some of you out there that will want to poo-poo it in some way, but in my opinion, it's a wicked bit of cinema that had me laughing out loud, cause it was just so mental :)
I'm giving it.....5/5 Andys!!!

Games, games, games.....

Been playing some games in the last few days, haven't played for a while due to Psp addiction and trying to get ready to go traveling in the new year. The last couple of days has seen Chem revisiting the battlefield, namely Battlefield 2 and Counter-Strike. Eagle eyed viewers amongst you will spot my mate Andys sweet, sweet face in the picture on the left. One of the great things about CS is being able to spray 'Tags' where ever you want and they can be a picture of anything you want. Obviously, the more stupid the picture, the more amusing. I was playing one day and came across 3 players on my side, staring at a porn tag that someone had sprayed, I quickly sprayed a lovely picture of the one and only Alan Shearer on top of their porn, which didn't seem to please them, they shot the crap out of
Alan :) Counter-Strike is hard. Your lifespan can be in the seconds and then you're waiting for the game to start again. Choose your weapon and leg it to the action and the action is constant, there's very little quiet time in CS. No resting on a grassy knoll waiting to snipe the enemy, it's M16 a-go-go. Battlefield 2 on the other hand, is a full on war. The maps are massive and there's plenty of grassy knoll's. You can charge right into the action or slink round the periphery doing your own thing. Jump into a helicopter gunship, race across the map raining death down upon the enemy, before crashing as you attempt to land, when you should have parachuted instead. One of the wicked things about Battlefield 2 is being able to link up into squads of up to six people and then be able to talk to those people, especially when it's with Chris, Andy and James. It makes such a difference, you can even try to play using 'strategy'. When you're skimming across the water ready to land and assault the beach; the sun is setting and there's the bass rumble of explosions and the pock pock of gunfire in the distance, it's f**king awesome!! You can't believe how good this game looks and sounds at times. It's taking me ages to write this, I keep having to have a quick shoot :) For a proper review of Battlefield click here. Counter-Strike is an add-on for Half-Life 2


Half-life 2 is the best single player fps I've played. I know I say that about every game I play, but in this case it's true. Better than Halo! Edge gave it 10/10, very rare indeed. It's so innovative, which is hard to find these days, everything around you can be interacted with and the gravity gun is something else. Jamie, you must get this game on xbox! I just need a decent fps on me psp now and a 360, mmmmmm.

Check my Skills!

Actually, check Mr. Ronaldinho's skills. After all he is da man. I've followed his work on the telly and i've seen him do some pretty nifty stuff with a leather ball.....until I saw the mpeg you are about to watch. Just watch it. I'm still undecided if it's real or computer generated. Does he really hit the crossbar 4 times?? Absolutely amazing!! I seem to be turning into Beadles about, but here for your viewing pleasure is a footy compilation that someone has put together and there's some great stuff on here. Remember the Roberto Carlos freekick against France, erm 98 I think in Le Tournoi? We won it, weird I know, winning..... Anyway enjoy!!
