This is the video of the huge airbus A380 taking off and then flying over the run way at Farnborough – I also shot this in HD on my iPhone 4 – spot the part where we got hit by the wash! There are also pics up at my flickr stream.
Put together this video in iMovie using the footage of the Red Arrows that I shot on the new iPhone 4 – quite pleased with the result! There are also pics up at my flickr stream.
“You could try as you say put it on VAT, sales tax, but again if you look at the effect of sales tax, it’s very regressive, it hits the poorest the hardest. It does, I absolutely promise you. Any sales tax, anything that goes on purchases that you make in shops tends to… if you look at it, where VAT goes now it doesn’t go on food obviously but it goes very very widely and VAT is a more regressive tax than income tax or council tax.”

Well I managed to wangle myself a new job. A job which I thought would be my dream job, and it is in many ways, it pays well and is very rewarding, but these guys I’m working with make me want to kill myself.
First there’s the supermodel wannabe. She’s hot, but has a brain like a peanut. Constantly dusting herself with makeup, I’m surprised she has the brain power to breathe. She’s completely egocentric and doesn’t think of anyone but herself.
The next is the complete opposite. She may just be the smartest person alive, yet she’s a 0/10. I’m not sure she even bathes half the time. Almost certainly a lesbian.
But the gem of it all is the god damn stoner. And when I say stoner I mean stoner, this guy is high as a kite morning, noon and night. He’s about 20 but dresses like some 60′s beatnik. What’s even worse is he insists on bringing his bloody dog to work.
Every day I have to look at this great dane plodding around, probably half stoned from the second hand smoke. Both of them always hungry, going to Burger King several times a day.
So yeah, I drive these guys around in my van and we solve mysteries and stuff.
(Love this!)
Gemma bought me a pair of Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket headphones for Christmas which were gratefully received – they sounded great and they had a mic / button to control my iPhone. A couple of weeks later and they weren’t going so great: I was being electrocuted by my headphones! One of the buds would constantly shock me and then stopped working. Brilliant.
I sent them back, but the store didn’t have stock so I got a refund. A couple of weeks later I got a new pair as they did sound good and they looked cool – I thought the fault may have been a one-off. My new pair arrived on Sunday. Today I was electrocuted in the same ear again. Fantastic.
I had a little look around to see if this was a one off, but no, I quickly found a few others who had had similar problems with the same model, and a few who had the same issue with other Skullcandy headphones:
Well, thanks Skullcandy – You’ve been crap. I don’t think I’ll ever want to buy another product from you ever again. Now to try and get a refund… I definitely don’t want a replacement!
Just back from 5 days in Les Carroz with some great company and great conditions for a fantastic week!!
I’ve tested a new gallery for these – as well as being on the gallery page (link at the top of the page), you can see my pics and upload yours by going to the new album here. If you want a full res image of any of the pics for printing, leave me a comment below with your email addy.
Word of warning – some of the pics are a tad… well. hmm..
..it took! 6 hours to cover the 25 miles home from work!! They closed the M3 so everyone decided to try and fit down the A30. Which didn’t work. I gave up in the end – I abandoned my car in Sunningdale, had a really nice curry and then got the train home.
