Got this from my brother-in-law today:
If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Tennents Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.
The new Vista ad from Microsoft. I think it’s an all-time great. Brilliant writing (by Seinfeld I assume). Not once is Vista mentioned, just the logo at the end.
When you get tired of “buy buy buy, buy this, NOW, do it now, limited time offer, for you, blah blah blah”, then funny oddball ads like this put a smile on your face. I swear my opinion of Vista has gone up since I’ve watched this. Now if they did one with George Costanza, I’d go out and buy Vista Ultimate on the spot.
Just got a mail from old college buddy Niamh Shaw. She has taken the oft-travelled path of Degree in Engineering, PhD in Engineering, Gaiety School of Acting, Fair City, comedy troupe and is now part of the Craic Pack in Dublin.
They’ve been doing comedy improv every Wed & Friday in The Bankers Bar, Trinity St in Dublin for a long time and they’ve just announced that on Saturday, July 28th, they’re going to do an ever bigger and funnier show in the Mill Theatre, in Dundrum Shopping Centre. Watch as the Drummy Mummies scatter in fear 
If she is even 10% as funny as she was all those years ago in Earlsfort Terrace then you’ll be expelling snot at high velocity during this gig. You can find out lots more at www.myspace.com/thecraicpack
On a vaguely related topic, we’re now up to 16,598 views of the Steorn Video on YouTube. Head on over and try to get us to 20,000!

Note to Hasbro – maybe get a custom PollDaddy widget created that we could all put on our blogs? It’s viral baby!
Yes I know it’s just another “kids say the funniest things” post but this wee 5-year old thinks deeper than most.
Never promise a bed-time story and then renege:
“Dad when I grow up, I’m going to get married like you, and have babies like you, and forget things like you”
Recent obsession with death:
“Dad, when we all die, does that mean someone else might live in our house?”. “Yes they will Ois”. “So like, they’ll get all our DVDs?”
At least I’ve taught him to say “I’m going to be an engineer when I grow up, like my mum and dad”. Of course he thinks that means he’ll be fixing airplanes and computers. I’m having a hard time explaining the word design.
Arrested Development has a lawyer whose ad states, “you don’t need double talk, you need Bob Loblaw”.
C’mon, best play on words ever.
Then tonight they nearly go one better as he announces that he has to go home to write “The Bob Loblaw Law Blog”
Yeah, I’m tired, but I’m still giggling.
Ye wanna know why YouTube is worth $1.6B? Cos I’ve just discovered that they have the clip!

Oisín continues to come out with the funniest lines in the house. He refused to eat his dinner yesterday on the grounds that it was food for cats. Were we trying to feed him Whiskas perhaps? Or maybe KiteKat or Iams? No, it was lasagne.
All of this because his older brother, in an effort to get him to eat it, pointed out that lasagne is what Garfield eats.
Twenty minutes of tears, one taste and then he wolfed catted down the lot.
I heard the other day that Alan Sugar and Michelle Dewberry have parted ways. What a shocker. If that is Sugar at his people skills best then it’s pretty obvious why he never went global.
All together now Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger.
YouTube currently down? They must have forgotten to pay their bills to Eircom.

This is the second and last bLaugh I’ll ever re-publish but I just couldn’t resist this one.
