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!

The African Nature Battle - who will win?

Crocs versus buffalo, versus Lions.. .who will win?

This in an incredible piece of raw footage. Youtube sports a number of upbeat and edited versions of this - but believe me - this is fantastic and you won't know who or waht will win until right to the end. The fear and indecision of the animals, the mob or family spirt was heart wrenching as thier usual fear was over ridden by desire to rescue the baby and as they wne to ram those giant cats. Jaw dropping footage. WAAAAAY Cool!! Enjoy.
