Now, how long before YouTube delete it?

… look a little bit like this picture of Freddie Mercury?

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.

Here is the BBC coverage…

So.
Only two things wrong with that:

• That isn’t a rant. I know enough Scottish people to know a rant when I hear one. In the lexicon of Scotland, that was just a minor complaint. I’ve heard Scots more angry about Tesco running out of milk.
• What the the fusk was that git thinking when he decided to do that to his hair?

The Picasso is one of only two cars that I completely refuse to drive (I’ll reveal the other one in the future). To celebrate the removal of the Picasso from the Citroen UK catalogue I present a badly thought out and poorly executed video:

Anyway, why would a German supermodel want to be associated with a shite French saloon car (apart from the cash – £3,000,000 allegedly)? Surely she’d have been better off whoring herself for the benefit of BMW or Mercedes?

The Doctor(sub), The Doctor, The Doctor, The Doctor(goal), The Doctor, The Doctor,The Doctor, The Doctor(sub), The Doctor, The Doctor, The Doctor, The Doctor, The Doctor.

It seems to me that nothing as good will ever be made, and that our future TV viewing will consist of nothing but shite reality programmes and game shows.

So do yourself a favour and order it now. And do me a favour by earning me a few pennies by using this handy link:

Space, as they say, is big. Really big. Frank Sidebottom also says that Space is ace, and we can’t really argue with that, can we? Space is also, by its very nature, three dimensional.

This seems to passed by the writers of Star Trek. Events always seem to occur within a set plane. For example, Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country begins with the an explosion on the Klingon Moon Praxis producing a shockwave which only seems to travel in two dimensions.

The Praxis Wave

This wave progesses through space until it is encountered by the USS Excelsior and Captain Sulu, who turn into the wave rather than dodging out of its way. Surely the former helmsman of the Enterprise should remember about Up and Down?

The Excelsior, not going up or down.

Ok, I’ll concede that the Praxis wave is a pretty effect, but that is no excuse for ignoring the third dimension.

Time and agin, when ships rendezvous or do battle, they do so sharing a common idea of up and down.

All the right way up!

Now maybe this should be the case during diplomatic meetings, but it does seem a mite strange for a battle situation.

Klingons on the, erm, Port Stern!

In fact, the only instances I can find where ships are not aligned like this is when one of the ships is either out of control or has been disabled.

Can anyone actually give me a valid reason why this always happens, or alternately find an example that contradicts this?

More ships, just for good measure.
