Four o'clock funny - Have you ever been to Scotland?

"A 16-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer.... I ain't never going back. Not never."

"My aunt lives in Scotland. She says it's quite nice."

"Well she's wrong."

I've inadvertently turned this into Garth Merenghi's Darkplace week. Oh well. It could be worse. You could be in Scotland...

Buck Yourself!

LuckyBuckOff from Lucky Brand Jeans is the latest Elf Yourself type craze, allowing you to create yourself as a leprechaun type elf and buck youself off a reindeer. And why wouldn't you?

This isn't just for amusement value like Elf Yourself, although it does lack a little bit of the viral element of adding your mates and sending it to them.

You can also claim a discount voucher for a pair of jeans as well, which is a bit of an extra incentive. Not sure if it works in the UK though (the voucher, not the site).

Sneaks du Jour - Adidas Originals Training P.T. 70s

I was just having a browse on the JD Sports website when I found these, a JD exclusive of the Adidas Originals Training P.T 70s.



I'm not 100% sure about the sole, but I like the colours. I also still find it amazing that these were genuine performance trainers back in the day. Apart from anything else, they'd get ruined!

You Tube Search Box in Embedded Videos

I've just noticed that the videos I embedded from You Tube today have a search box at the top. This is new! Videos I'd embedded previously seem to be the same too.

The results that appear are You Tube video search results which you can cycle through. It's actually a bit of a better mechanic than the actual You Tube search results page in my opinion.

Here's an example of the search box, above Norwich's excellent victory over Manchester United from a few years ago. I'm definitely not still dining out on it.



Here's how the results appear, still on your site. Surely this could/should be part of Adsense? I suspect this may be the first step towards making You Tube more of a monetizable search engine.



Update: More info from TechCrunch, including how to disable the search bar in embedded You Tube videos, here.

Christmas Tune at Noon - Wizzard

Wizzard played at my university at a summer party. I didn't bother going because, to be brutally honest, they wouldn't have played this in the summer would they?



As an added bonus today (or not, depending on which way you look at it), here's Girls Aloud's version of I Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day.

Dear Mum, For Christmas I would like... Mood Beams

These are pretty cute and 'ambient'. They are supposed to react to the mood of the room, whether that be darkness (ie bedtime or romance time), music or what have you.

I'll be honest with you, I've no idea how these work. I do think they look good and I am in the market for a couple of new bedside lamps. They're called Mood Beams.



You can get them from Firebox for under a tenner each. Bargain!

Tee Du Jour - Good Guys

Apparently the Good Guys Don't Glow at Midnight. Which makes this a glow in the dark T-Shirt. Except the guy with the pointy hat and the wings. Very clever.

Four o'clock funny - Dean Learner on Women

"I personally believe that, really from 13 and up, turn the other way. It's not a popular view I know"

I don't think it would be exaggerating to call Richard Ayoade one of the most prolific comic actors of his generation. I knew him originally from Garth Merenghi's Darkplace but he's probably best known for The IT Crowd and The Mighty Boosh, while also having a decent sized role in Nathan Barley and almost certainly loads of stuff I've forgotten.

Anyway he's very good. And this is a very short clip, but very funny. The sound on it isn't great though.

Sneaks du Jour - Adidas ZX 90s Run

Love these. Very clean, very sporty.
