The one with Space

So, in the not so distant future Richard Branson will take us all to space. Well some of us anyway. Firstly, I think its great that someone has such a vision and is pioneering the way. So hats off to Rich on that one.

I wonder though, will it be any different from the movies? I mean, come on, you’ll get Armageddon for about €2 in a bargain bin. And you get amazing views of the Earth in that. Plus you get Bruce Willis as well.
Or what about the intro to Planet Earth from the BBC? On Blu-Ray its just as good as being there and you get David Attenborough to boot.

Rich wants' 200k that get you up into the atmosphere, which is cheap in comparison to the bloke that forked out 100 billion or whatever to for a spin to the space station. Christ, he must feel pissed off now! And whats with calling it a spaceship. For like a space plane to be honest. If Branson wants to call his little space plane a ship, then he should have thought about building something like the Millenium falcon. Jesus, at least we would have got the pleasure of flying with Harrison Ford and a big hairy dog!

And sure what about the flight times? I’d imagine it’d be similar to a long haul flight and judging from the video it’ll be cramped, stuffy and probably have no peanuts. If I’m forking out 200k for a trip into space I want a bit more than peanuts. For 200K I’d be demanding a legion of naked Alien women to serve drinks, administer massages, and bake bread! Don’t get me wrong, I think its a fantastic idea, but for many of us its a non runner due to the cost! So you know what that means. Yup, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck will sort us out.

The one with the big C – One of the more important blog posts you can read, especially if your a bloke

The last few days have been an incredibly tough and long haul. On Saturday evening I discovered something a bit unusual on the baby factory. Same on Sunday morning and on Monday I made for my G.P.
So after some prodding and poking he couldn’t (quite obviously) give a 100% either way, so I was referred for an ultrasound today at 3.30pm
The last 24 hours in particular have been very long and I have been dragging a very dark and heavy cloud around with me. I got the Ultrasound and it turns out that, thankfully, I don’t have Testicular Cancer. Which is a huge weight off my mind, but to be honest its going to take another day or so to lift this heavy could off my shoulders. As of right now, its hard to know what I feel, hence banging out a few thoughts here.
The last few days I’ve had a lot of time to think and to be honest I’m not one for going to doctors. But someone, somewhere at one time or another had mentioned getting things checked out if at all in doubt. I think it was on the radio or TV. And it always stuck with me. Hence today I was able to buy piece of mind and that’s something that is priceless. So my point (and I’ll reiterate this on the show later) is while the ladies are out of the traps quite quickly with lumps and bumps, us blokes are far too complacent. So please, if there is something out of the ordinary, get it checked. Don’t go through life without getting it checked, so lads, don’t make a balls of your balls!!!!!

The one with Election time!

Just another plug for the Movie Bit "Movie of 2009". The "Other" category was removed due to the fact that people were putting in movies that were not released in 2009. And as much as it made me laugh,  the suggestion of 2 girls 1 cup was about 2 years too late!
