My eldest niece has decided to throw herself out of a perfectly good aircraft to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Clearly I’m not the only bat-shit insane member of the family.
Should you wish to donate, go this this page: http://www.justgiving.com/Kim-Killeen
Edit: This will happen on September 25th.
Is it just me, or does this picture of Hilary Devey, the new face on Dragon’s Den…
… look a little bit like this picture of Freddie Mercury?
Don’t get me wrong, I love World of Warcraft, but some things about it really annoy the hell out of me…
The Duelist
This turd is the online equivalent to the six and a half foot tall, shaven headed, tattooed nutjob who asks people in the pub for a fight for no reason. In this case, the nutjob is probably 14, has arms like pipe-cleaners (but oddly massive hands), and would probably pass out if ever asked to venture in to a pub.
The Recruiter
All the seem to do is spam people with requests to join their Guild. I’m sorry, mate, but if I’m busy kickin the snot out of something and your Guild Request box pops up and messes me about, I’m never going to help you with anything EVER AGAIN. If, however, you talk to me first and ask nicely, then I may join you group of splitters and quitters (see below).
Death Knights
Okay, so they look cool and are really hard from the outset. But, once you start upgrading the equipment, they start looking like some bastard colourblind harlequin. Imagine the Witch-King of Angmar attacking Meriadoc and Eowyn on the Pelennor. The War of the Ring would have taken a different turn had Merry and the bint from Rohan died laughing as the undead lord strode up to them wearing a lime green breastplate, crimson gauntlets, sky blue leggings, a purple helmet, and a turquoise cloak. Whatever a Death Knight chooses to wear should become black. Blacker than a Spinal Tap album cover. If not blacker.
Stormwind Loiterers
Okay mate, you’re Level 85 and have some stupid winged pet. I understand that you want to show off. But could you and your 27 mates kindly not do it in the Trade District of Stormwind City? Your mum might have spent a couple of grand buying you a PC for your “homework”, but I’m using a PC that was found in a skip. when I drop down to 3 frames per second it makes me want to stab you in the eye socket. With your own shin.
Whitesnake Quests
Oh, I’m sure you know what I mean. You’ve just gone deep into some mine or other, had the shit kicked out of you, got back, handed the quest in and… guess what… there’s a boss to kill in the mine. Never mind that you’ve just killed him. And so, “Here I Go Again”… (hence the title)
Quitters
Those people who spend months convincing you to upgrade your PC and start playing. And within three weeks they’ve fucked off and either found another game, retired from the whole MMORPG thing, or can’t afford to play anymore.
Me
As a six and a half foot tall tattooed balding nutjob with arms like pipe-cleaners, I really have to hate myself for continuing to play the game.
The Sun, amongst others, have reported that Doctor Who star Karen Gillan was recently found drunk, naked, and whimpering in the corridor of a New York hotel. See this article for details: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/3663222/Karen-Gillan-found-naked-and-mumbling.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=TV
A couple of points on this…
Firstly, is it really newsworthy? Someone in their twenties goes on holiday, gets drunk, and makes a total arse of themselves. If that is news, I would have spent a lot of the 90s in the newspapers (instead of the mere 5 appearances – none of which involved nudity). Okay, so this person ended up butt naked in a hotel corridor. I was 33 before that first happened to me. It still isn’t news.
Secondly, is the story even true? Is there one piece of admissible evidence that this event ever occurred with Miss Gillan involved? Could it have been another skinny ginger? Only the release of photo/video evidence will tell.
Personally, I doubt every aspect of this story, with good reason.
I know a lot of Scots, and a lot of Gingers. A lot of my friends and family are either Scottish, Ginger, or both.
While the idea of a Ginger Scot drunk and naked in a hotel corridor is not entirely outside the realms of possibility, one crucial point is: they were whimpering.
In my experience, neither a Ginger, nor a Scot, would ever be in that state of mind.
Due to the high levels of rage which both Gingers and Scots possess, the only state of mind for a drunken Caledonian Redhead to be in, would be Pure Incandescant Rage. A state which they stay in until soberness approaches, or a coma occurs (at which point whimpering is impossible).
If said person was kicking seven bells of shit out of a fire extinguisher for it being “redder than her”, or repeatedly punching a mirror because the reflection was looking at them in a funny way, then I’d accept the possibility that a skinny, drunken, Ginger, Scottish wench was there.
Without that possibility, I don’t think the story can be true.
