Things I've learnt this week
- The Libertines actually have a couple of good songs
- Disposing of illegal CD copies found in rented CD cases should not be done by snapping them in half. (I think I’ll be cleaning up the pieces for weeks to come.)
- Even multi-million-pound professional law firms can have cheap, terribly designed unprofessional websites
- Intelligent, theologically brilliant people can be completely ignorant when it comes to science (this guy for example). Isn’t it time Christians realised that the Bible and science don’t contradict each other? Just because God sustains the creation continuously doesn’t mean he can’t choose to make the Earth warmer…
- The Mighty Boosh second series isn’t as good as the first one, simply because it’s cruder. Still funny though, and now I have a signed DVD box set after meeting Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding in Borders!
- Over-heating recipes involving fromage frais creates cheese
- However good your intentions are, getting up at nine o’clock after a late night doesn’t happen unless you have a very good alarm
- Blog entries don’t write themselves. Or rather, they can write themselves, but only if you actually sit down to write them first.
Currently listening to Feeder – Buck Rogers

The Libertines have no good songs, Matt, come on. The most entertaining thing about them would have been the laugh-a-minute junkie roadshow that is Doherty trying to learn fifteen guitar parts for their tour as a three-piece; but seeing as how he can’t stay out of the hands of the police for more than a few weeks at a time, I believe the tour’s cancelled.

Can’t Stand Me Now is great! Though I have to say the original recording is merely average – a friend’s band did a far superior version.

I can dispose of illegal CDs for you, for a low low fee.
People who think that climate change is a myth are just as foolish as those who think the earth is flat. Bah, they frustrate me so. Also, with regards to religion and science, they both need to be in harmony if we are to even attempt to understand the universe…

Tut, Matthew. I thought you’d done A-level chemistry. Polycarbonates, crystalline structures… *ahem*
Blog entries don’t write themselves, but getting other people to help write them takes about as much effort.

The thing is, I’m sure I’ve done it before without it shattering everywhere. With AOL CDs for instance.

Did we not just play frisbee with them?
For once, seeing as I am not at home, I have learnt of exciting (Boosh!) things that happen to you through your blog. Coolage.

AOL CDs seem to be made of a substance not of this earth. Which explains why they don’t shatter.
Even if you did shatter one, it would just go all mercury-like and then re-form itself, T1000 style.

What AOL CDs are actually good for is setting out treasure hunts or orienteering courses, particularly if you’re doing it in the dark when they catch torch light really well, and the hole makes them easy to hang up, e.g. on a branch.

Or you can make furniture from them.

Yes, well, I’m not sure the first series was exactly appropriate for kids either…
