A profile to take notice of.

I have a dirty secret.. I have become a little obsessed with some online gaming. Now this is coming form someone who can't even cope with frogger or pacman!

One of these games is Knighthood ( a facebook application - which is totally obsessive and takes over your life - really) and the other is Tribal Wars. TW allows players to be anonomous and take secret identities up. I am unsure if Alf is even his name - but this player has been very kind and helpful to me in the past and I want to share what he has on his profile page. It cracked me up!

Alf Hucker
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more effective in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my God-like trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed and I cook. I am an expert in whiskey, a veteran in love and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a glass of Lucozade, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by Fame Academy. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I am bored, I build suspension bridges in my back garden. I enjoy urban hand gliding. On Mondays after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst and a ruthless bookie. Critic’s worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire.

I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. Last summer, I toured Cornwall with a travelling centrifugal force demonstration. I throw 501 in 9 darts. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children and small woodland creatures trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read David Copperfield, Paradise Lost and Moby Dick in one day and still managed to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for MI5. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on holiday, I successfully negotiated with a group of underworld criminals who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic and my bills are all paid. I discovered the meaning of life but neglected to write it down.

I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a Breville toaster. I breed prize winning clams. I have won bull fights in San Juan, cliff diving in Sri Lanka and spelling tests at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, performed open heart surgery and have spoken to Elvis.

Doom and Gloom - Cash is Trash



A part of Roberts predictions for the financial markets. Something to check out as things are getting tight and uncomfortable everywhere. Robert is an absolute inspiration to many worldwide - his books are mainstay for most investors. However, I think viewers aught to take only bits and pieces of their information at heart, Robert is a smart investor and but sadly his books purport outdated information - realistically - it takes months to write and edit, then it needs to go to a publisher, get printed and distributed. - Stuff gets outdated so quickly in our society.

In times of extreme volatility, precious metals have done well - bit I am not sure if I am going to go out and buy silver or gold bars. Robert makes some good points - History has shown that every paper money scheme introduced into a system which is not directly backed by a real metal is a scam and ultimately collapses..

so - a bit of a step back from the frivolity of before - jsut to keep you on your toes.. WAAAAY cool - yeah?

Snake Eats Boy



For someone who is grossed out about snakes this gives me the heebies everytime I see it. Living in Australia, you get a wary appreciation of snakes - as everything here that crawls or slithers is poisonous enough to kill you.

and yes - I realise this movie has been doctored for enjoyment - but it doesn't take away from the incredible thought of having a snake THAT big in your house - ewwwwwww. so another thumbs up WAAAAY Cool!
