A report by Adrian Dalglish in the Lancaster Guardian makes me sound thoroughly ace.
Flicking hell.
Quarter is a film that shows that, despite having way too much time on their hands, some utter losers have an immense wasted talent. Just watch it.

December 05: The run up to Christmas
A trip on the Santa Special train with Grace, and a few update piccies of the progress on the house. Plus general being silly photos.
Blowing the trumpet
Ever the one to blow my own trumpet (if only I could reach it), I thought it’s worth a cyclo-cross update. I’ve now won the North West cyclo cross league with still two rounds to go. Nice feeling. Warm glow, etc. But…. the icing on the cake came on Sunday 18th December, on a freeeeeeezing day at Beacon Hill park a few miles from Wigan when I managed my first victory of the season. Hooraaaaah! There was a slightly smaller field (46 signed on at the start) but I made it convincing, clearing off straight from the start and extending my lead on each of the seven laps of the woodland / hillside circuit. The slight down side was that it was so cold that there was a tiny gathering of spectators to see me come over the line in first place, but that’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Piccie courtesy of Ian McVety, from the previous week’s race at Ulverston.. (where I was second). Barrie Clarke struggles in the background…!
Banana Hat
It’s a banana crown. What else do you want to know?
DFILM animated film creator
The only way I can think of to make some odd, personalised film in about five minutes without a camera: DFILM. Good honest Friday fun.
JCBSONG by Nizlopi: a Monkeehub video
Quite simply the most original song of 2005, JCB song by Nizlopi brings a tear to my eye each time i hear it. Top video too.
Pity me in the North East.
I went past this village on Sunday and its name made me chuckle.
Pandora, box and all
Ever since the Music Genome Project, people would ask, “Can you help me discover more music that I’ll like?”.
The Pandora Project is the next step on, allowing you, for free, to type in an artist or tune that you like, and listen to similar music, in a radio station type way. It works fairly well. Requires a reasonably quick (not dial-up) connection. Well worth a visit.

illegal-art.org is worth a look around – covering all sorts of artwork that has met copyright issues head on.
Q-unit
This is what happens when you mix Queen with 50 cent. You’ve been warned. Reminds me a bit of the Grey Album project, which shouldn’t have really worked, but most think it did. Alot better than this. i know it’s tongue in cheek (I hope it’s tongue in cheek0, but it’s still grating like mad.
