2009-09-02T12:23:00.001-07:00

He made it to Dublin in this one. Watch out for the soldier in the one from the demilitarised zone in Korea... and also for the extra Indian dance in the Indian clip. But top marks go to the dance in the vomit comet (zero G!).

2009-09-02T12:16:00.001-07:00

Susan Boyle - Singer - Britains Got Talent 2009 (With Lyrics)

2009-04-17T10:07:00.001-07:00

This video serves a wonderful reminder that when we apply labels to people when we first meet them, that sometimes we can miss something special. In many ways people all over the world strive to make themselves align to a perceived normality... But when you watch this, you'll see that it's individual differences and uniqueness that makes a person special.

Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce (HQ)

2009-01-23T10:41:00.001-08:00

Great pitch on the UK's Dragon's den for Reggae Reggae sauce. He got investment and is taking the sauce market by storm. The subtitles are out though, they say "I'd have" instead of "Hot" repeatedly.

Havana Delirio - Carnavalera

2009-01-22T12:08:00.001-08:00

Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross Abuse Andrew Sachs via Phone 1

2008-10-30T09:07:00.001-07:00

I found it difficult to listen to this, not that I was offended or anything, more I just thought the two guys were just being utter idiots to make these prank calls on Jonathan's radio show.

Dire Straits • Money for nothing (1984)

2008-10-30T08:47:00.001-07:00

2008-10-21T03:21:00.001-07:00

Watch out for the night activity at this tower as it gets deconstructed room by room over a two week period. Watch out for foggy nights and a market in the foreground on one of the days!

A writer's life

Segway Commercial

2008-09-22T02:10:00.001-07:00

This is something that will take off big time over the coming years. Electric powered, uses gyros to keep balanced. Range is from 20km+ depending on which model you buy. 450mpg equivalent. Rumours are that it's priced at around 6,000 euro in Ireland.

Big Brother 9 - Irish Dancing Task

2008-07-11T03:17:00.001-07:00

What happens when you take 15 people who don't particularly like each other too much and ask them to learn a bit of the Riverdance routine in just 2 days? Absolute farce, but hillarious farce is what you get. Even the drummers could have made a more credible attempt at the two short drumming sequences! Watch for the dancers starting the dance before the music itself, and watch how some of the dancers are just jumping up and down!!
