My thanks to Kate, over in Gloucester for the heads up on this video. If you haven’t come across Tim Hawkins before (I certainly hadn’t), spare five minutes to listen to and watch this video. The impersonations are pretty spot on when it comes to famous musicians, and the video (created by ‘Burnin8r55555′ - now [...]

Check out the Up Late post for the last animation I posted from the same artist. This one involves the same cat trying to get in through a door.

I’m definitely not showing these clips to our kittens. hmmm, when are they kittens no longer, but cats? Ours are 18 months old now. Anyway, we have [...]

As you may remember from her recent blog post, Alex is no longer working outdoors, as a tree surgeon. However, as Mat still is, I thought he might like to see how some South Africans remove trees they don’t want any more.

You have to ask why nobody tried to stop them from doing it, but [...]

Thanks to a member over at an Amsterdam forum for this video…

I can’t work out if the cigarette the skipper smokes at the end is just tobacco, or with a relaxant added, and whether she is drunk whilst on the canal, or just nervous? I do love her reasoning that it was the weather that [...]

NSFW (Not Suitable For Work (viewing))
My thanks to Cheese over at the VDF forum for pointing these out to me. The first video is Bobby Burns’ track - “I’m From Holland”. Why NSFW? It has the ‘F’ word multiple times, so if you have headphones or turn your speakers down, you should be fine - [...]

… They scare me. They hurt people. They are also good fun. hmmm, spot the conflict here?
Check out this post from 2006 for a video of me not killing anyone with a shotgun. Then watch the following video… I remember from previous research that even semi-automatic shotguns are illegal in some states in America, so [...]

Thanks to Stargazer for bring this clip to my attention
I’m just glad none of my friends or relatives could cope my weight on their back - I’m not really up for 24/7 tech support duties - its nice to be able to occasionally close the PC down, and disconnect my PDA from all [...]

To my UK readers, this has nothing to do with pretend marathon runners with dodgy 70s moustaches…
I was watching one of the Swiss satellite TV channels, when a strange advert came on. It was a music video, with some a very distracting women, and some firefighters. All singing un un huit. Back in Britain, numbers [...]

Following on from the earlier post, we have some more videos connected with ImprovEverywhere.
First we have another pre-arranged freeze, over at Waterloo Station (London). I could be wrong, but I think the British ones were organized via a Facebook group. I had a quick look and couldn’t find one for Kazakhstan yet. Can’t imagine there [...]

Came across these (thanks to ‘Boner’ over at VDF) and though some people would like to watch them…
If you have heard of flash mobs before, you’ll already know the sort of activity these people carried out.
The first ‘freeze’ in this post took place in Trafalgar Square (London)

Next we have the first No Pants (trousers for [...]

All American content, but still interesting to see just how unsporting sportsmen and women can be.

The video itself is quite large (around 12.5Mb), and although not of the highest quality, seems to use a lot of bandwidth, so if your internet connection is too slow to watch the clip smoothly, one tip I make use [...]

and any other motor home or Top Gear fans out there. I’ve ripped the section from Series 10 Episode 6 (last Sunday’s?) where Richard Hammon and James May team up with some Touring Car drivers to race various motor homes around an old track. That is if it ever completes uploading to YouTube… I’m glad [...]

My lessons for the rest of this week were cancelled on Wednesday, as the student is busy organizing his relocation to Moscow. This means less money coming in, so I have tried to catch up with a few more sponsored posts. Karra and Muska are a little confused, as since I started giving conversational English [...]

I realised it had been a while since I posted any videos, so here are a few to keep you amused (hopefully)…
This video explains the perils of ‘man flu’ to any doubting women out there…

Here we have a UK beatbox artist on the Jools Holland ‘Later…’ show

Following on from Shlomo, we have another beatbox vid, [...]

OK, this is one of the last posts I will make whilst in Kazakhstan, so I intend to use it to catch up with a few articles, videos and sites I have been meaning to post about in the last few weeks. Otherwise I will return in a little under a month, and forget all [...]

I’ll not post her name until I know whether she minds, but one of Irina’s friends at work recently took part in the BG (the newer name of British Gas) Energy Challenge 2007, here in Kazakhstan. Last night Khabar had a short piece on the event in their news bulletin, so I have uploaded it [...]

Not connected with hoovering your house at all. Instead, news reports (Reuters article here, my thanks to Birdman over at the Channels.nl forum for bringing it to my attention) are detailing a new, non-nuclear, bomb that is hoped to increase respect for Russia’s military might.
What it basically comes down to, IMHO, is whether this display [...]

One way I have been able to save up enough money for my trip to Amsterdam and Britain next week is through taking on Blog Advertising. In the video below, I have tried to show just how easy it is to use some of the companies out there, specifically PayU2Blog in this case. Their opps [...]

A little later than originally intended, here are the videos shot the day Ildar (Balzhan’s son) had his first day at school. Over here in Kazakhstan, they start going to school a little later than back in Britain - around seven years old seemed to be the average age there.
Not only is this day special [...]
