Youre never gonna believe it...

The Chargrilled Video... is back!
  • Welsh Chris steals, disects, puts back together in an unrecognisable format the anthem that is Fradiohead's (fraidiohead's?? Yeah its a f**kin typo, and I'm keeping it in, got a problem with that... Good!) Karma Police...
  • It was a publicity competition thing to see how much publicity could be drummed up for the Chargrilled Tshirt company by enlisting the creative talents of its adoring fans...
  • We* Won! We managed to get 1100 hits plus in a week for the video, sold a meagre 13 tshirts through our special tracking URL... and created a Facebook group called I love Chargilled Tshirts, which had 400 members... Value for the 500 Squid prize money Adam??? Ah well. you win some you lose some. On the bright side, i did well out of it!
  • *We equals me and Steve HiggyPopUK Higgins, the legendary web-celeb and YouTube guru, who edited the music video for me...
  • Anyway, enuff chatting shite: Here it is... The one you've been waiting for!!!
Yeah we did that Half Marathon... It was ages ago now. Thanks for all the sponsors and that. Loved it. 1hr 52mins for me. Exstatic! John did even better: 1hr 34min or sumink. Crazy!

Jango.com

Hey all. Check out Jango.com to build your own interactive internet radio stations. It's wicked! I'm trying to embed one in the side-bar on the blog, but there seems to be some bugs with the html or something technical. Will get it sorted soon though I'm sure, what with all my technical expertise.

Ranting about stuff - Ross Vs. Ronaldo

  • Here's a response I posted to a arctile on money site Fool.co.uk
  • Kinda got a bit off topic, which was "Rip-Off Britain" and ways to fix it. As you'd imagine the thread turned into a bit a of a whinge fest, but it kept me entertained for a while.
  • Here's an extract from my rant:

"Jonathon Ross isn't paid £18m at all, he's on just below £6m a year. This is still obscene - more than (most of) the top premiership footballers.

Football fans however pay their money and take a choice. We buy our shirts and season tickets in exchange for a service, we want the best players in to get the job done for our teams. They have spent their whole lives honing their skills, and ensuring that they are in the peak of physical condition, so they can get the results we crave. Jonathon Ross on the other hand, fluffy, pleasant and entertaining as he undoubtedly is, has no specific skills, apart from his chameleon-like ability to gush, grovel and kiss-up to celebrity A-listers and D-listers alike, week after week."

Venting

This is what I'd do if I wasn't so lazy. Though its wierd that if were even more lazy, I'd be more likely to do it. http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/venting.png

Struggling Musician Finds Golden Ticket?

Struggling Musician Finds Golden Ticket?
  • This is an aticle that got posted on Bristol Indy Media (an independant 'news' website) when I entered the Chargrilled t-shirts competition. I'm still trying to get Steve (Higgypopuk) Higgins to send me the music video so I can get it back up on YouTube. As soon as I do, I'll get it posted again here on Welshie's World.

The Commuter Train Diaries #2

  • The guy sat opposite me on the train, reading his book, has just finished his sandwich. Its elaborate packaging now lies discarded on the table in front of him. From where I sit, I can just make out the words printed on it:
" Simplicity. Honesty. Innovation. "
  • I'm thinking its just a sandwich.
