JibJab

I love watching Jay Leno and recently saw this "2007 year in review" cartoon from the fab and talented people at JibJab.

JibJab was essentially started in 1999 by two brothers called Gregg and Evan Spiridellis. The idea was to create viral online video's and shorts and although the company had its ups and downs it has continued to be a hit and they even have a blog (http://blog.jibjab.com/).

www.jibjab.com is a great site and allows you to watch some hilarious video footage from the JibJab team and also from user generated content. Topics range from politics to knock knock jokes and if you like you can buy and post ecards to send to friends (they even give you free credit when you join), either way its well worth a visit, I have never seen such a good comedy site online.

Have a fabulous 2008,

Cheers,

Chris

Captain Morgan Ad

An old one but classic, wish my local was that understanding !

Funny guy Tom Deacon

Just found this gem of a comedian, his name is Tom Deacon and he recently managed to win the Revels student stand up comedy awards bagging himself £2,500 cash.

Basically for the awards they visited 12 universities across the UK, found the best funny students and then hosted the finals live at the legendary Edinburgh Fringe.

Haven't been able to find out much info about him and can only find the above video of his funny stuff at present, but if its anything to go by I'm sure the chap will do well.

Cheers

Spot the Englishman

Just found this picture taken on the big game night. Myself and my good friend Dave were very kindly invited to a proper SA style Briaa by another good friend Brett at his sisters stunning home.
As the only Englishman present its needless to say I was vastly outnumbered by about 30 to 1 but I must say I was expecting a lot of slack and instead found only kind words (OK there were a few witty comments made).

Anyway under 4 years to go now, so not too long till we can take it back again :)

Big thanks to Brett, his sister and family and all present, what a fab evening.

Not without a fight: Part 2

Firstly congrats to the SA rugby team, great effort and well deserved, secondly gutted about the Grand Prix, seems its just been a weekend that wasn't meant to be for England sport, but sure we will bounce back with style as ever.

Just had to post this song, its a dedication, you know who you are, and just remember the legend Bobs Marleys wise words "Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right".

Big Love x

Not without a fight

As an avid England supporter I just had to put this picture up to show the boys some support.
The above is part of the Nike England rugby ad campaign and also comes with a nice cheesy video (click here). Anyway needless to say as an Englishman living in South Africa I'm trying to pick a very English or friendly place to watch the big game, Ideally with the girlfriend I reckon then either way I cant get hurt :)
Till next time, "God save the Queen"

Inappropriate news headline ?

While driving home this evening I saw this rather eye catching news headline. Now is it just me or could this be taken the wrong way if you know what I mean.
Needless to say I was creasing myself for the remainder of my journey.
