This one is a bit of a classic too. “Come on Fatty!”:

Just a quick note to the fat idiot driving the 14 bus this morning – “my dog has a lot better temperament than you do, and you should wear a muzzle too!”. Then your passengers wouldn’t have to look at that miserable moaning face, and everyone would be happier.

Another great video from YouTube that tickles my sense of humour:

If know anything about Italian popular music living in Italy, then it is usually to forget your own, and listen to another countries. Every pub, bar and TV channel plays music from elsewhere and there is seemingly little music that isn’t imported in Italy.

It’s a shame as there is a lot of Italian musical talent. Maybe the government run Rai TV channels don’t do enough to publicize this, or maybe the Sky MTV type channels just pay the government too much?

But amongst this local talent is a band from Turin, called Subsonica:

This is the night I want with my beautiful girlfriend to see them for the second time this year. This by the way is a FREE party in the middle of the biggest square (piazza) in Turin, payed for entirely by the local municiple authority, and policed at no extra cost by guess who? Yes, the police (not an overcharging security company). Why doesn’t this happen in the UK Gordon Brown?

Every now and again somebody spends a lot of time, money and effort having a tiny bit of fun creating an idea that does nothing but take the piss out of normal narrow minded idiots. You know, the type of idiot that sits in their house all night browsing the internet for rubbish like the following video.

Watch it – IT IS GREAT:

Disclaimer: Personally I didn’t find it real enough, and it is obviously fake. But if you have watched the video already, you will realize too that you may be one of the idiots it was made for…. You found, you watched it! And I only simply told you too. Maybe you are a follower, a sheep? Who knows?

Greenpeace has always been one of my favorite organisations along with SurfersAgainstSewage, any party arranged by Chris Grayston, Glastonbury and North Devon Festival. If you are in anyway unsure of who Greenpeace are or what they do or if you would simply like to make a donation or support them in some other way (as I am doing here) then GO TO THEIR WEBSITE NOW and read it.

They don’t do anything that is shit; full stop. These are issues that are important and need resolutions NOW! If just for me, please go, have a read and help???

And I’m even going to leave the Google Ads off this post too…I’d rather you helped Greenpeace.

Cervinia has to be one of the greatest places I have been in my life. Sat at the bottom of the Matterhorn mountain that borders Switzerland, and with its own glacier that offers summer snowboarding. A great day we spent there Nick and I, and the last day of the 2007/2008 season too.

Once you get out from amongst the stupid hat wearing skiing posers applying sun screen in the car park all day, this is a wonderful mountain wilderness. Cable cars take you to miles of spread out piste with significant gradients of powder, reservoirs to skirt and rocks to miss.

The ski lifts make it possible to rise and then board down to Zermatt, the rip of Switzerland resort where they would even try and grab your money for taking a snowball. Just watch out for the Swiss customs at the top of the ski lift as you cross over the top, as they are very anti drugs in Switzerland. That is why the have these protected Swiss bank accounts where they deposit all the proceeds from re-selling confiscated hashish from their central European hub. And do it with a certain German authority and accent. One theory anyway!

Being at a higher altitude the ski lifts are also open later in the season than most resorts and there is also great, untouched powder for riding off piste. The following is ‘Lukes video’ on youtube.com. It shows how it attracts some of the world best snowboarding, and has a great soundtrack too. (if you read this Luke, get in touch please):

The resort of Cervinia itself is quite big, yet typically Italian in quietness. There are though like minded boarders to bring a bit of cheer to the surroundings. The guy working at the bar at the lift station, who tried to sell us somebody else’s jumper for 50€ deserves a special mention for his humour.

I will certainly be back in Cervinia!!!

I have just registered my blog with a web site that finds advertisers that pay you to write about their products in your blog. Looks good, and I could do with the extra money. I’m just wondering how many advertisers they have and how much time I can devote to writing, especially about things that don’t interest me. No doubt time will tell…

ZEN and the art of motorcycle maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig is the story told of a gentleman making an American journey with his son Chris and friends John and Silvia by motorcycle. Described as “The provokative, profound and deeply affecting classic that his inspired millions” this book was recommended by both my girlfriend and a friend Nick. About 1/3 of the way through now I am beginning to see why they mean, and think I am learning from its focus on the many and varying ways to view life.

And unlike my French friend Aude, who is on my list to write about at some point, you don’t even need to ride or have a motorbike to understand it; although a few tips for the maintenance of a motorcycle have been learnt.

I thank my wonderful and beautiful girlfriend for buying it for me.

Are men crazy? They are told to admit to it sometimes.

Picture a man and his girlfriend sat out eating a meal, that has just arrived at the table.

When suddenly and totally unannounced, an man approaches the girlfriend and putting his arm round her shoulder, whispers in her ear (twice). With no explanation to the man. The simple explanation the girlfriend offers is “I’ll tell you later”.

When the man quite rightly insists and asks his girlfriend what that was about, his girlfriend explains that the man that came over is a homosexual male escort, and the other man he was with (an old man) is a client that he is working for 500€ to be with and have sex with.

Well. The man is rightly disgusted with his girlfriend, revolted with the whole situation, angry and upset, and tells her that if a similar situation ever arises again, then he’ll kill whoever is concerned. The girlfriend shrugs it off as if she has done nothing wrong and calls him crazy…

Is the man crazy? I think not! What do you think? Use the ‘comments’ link below to tell me.
