Have you ever seen those men with stripey scarves tied in a certain way to give a wee knot at the front? They are in the ‘Stripey Scarf Gang’. Members of this gang are men approximately 30-46 years old and they might also be wearing denims with suit jackets.

To be in the gang the scarf MUST be stripey and it MUST be tied with a knot at the front. See if you can spot any gang members at the weekend, I bet you do.

Film Recommendation – Taken

November 19, 2008

We watched Taken (starring Liam Neeson) the other night. I really enjoyed it, it’s a real Friday night, ’no-brainer’ film. Easy to follow, fast paced, good guys beat the bad guys etc etc. I’m not normally into fight scenes but the fight scenes were excellent too - no blurry cameras in sight.

My only criticism was that the end was a bit unimaginative, no surprises or twists but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the film.

This is Boomer and I am sending this from my Flickr account, it’s really just a test.

Laura? X Factor? OUT?! NOOOOO

November 10, 2008

What a load of rubbish. I can’t believe Louis & Simon kept that Spanish bird in. There’s no doubt that she’s got a really strong voice (and big, wobbly udders) but she’s so dated and eighties. Maybe they were choosing tactically.

Anyway, I really want Daniel to win now because he’s shite and it serves the judges right for putting him through in the first place and it would also be hilarious.

VOTE DANIEL!

X Factor’s Rachel sacks Danni Minogue

November 5, 2008

So Rachel has decided to bump Danni and mentor herself. I don’t blame her, Danni’s song and style choices for her have been diabolical, in particular the first week where she had Rachel looking like an embarassing, drunk auntie at a wedding singing ‘Every Heartbeat’. Rachel has a really strong voice and she’s singing a dance song with hardly any vocals. Whit?

The thing that was good about Rachel in the auditions was her raw talent, the fact that she looked a bit rough round the edges matched her strong, husky voice. Then Danni brings her out with short hair and a tailored suit that looked too big for her. CRINGE.

Actually, I’ve just read the BBC site and it says she hasn’t sacked her.
