The Second Cold War? Russia Vs. US Backed Georgia

This story is a sad contradiction as the ones who do the condemning and the real ones to blame. The starts awhile back with tensions between Russia and Georgia steadily growing with the good ‘ole US’s help.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics - My Thoughts

I have been watching late at night, unable to sleep and I’m honestly finding the olympics exciting and unpredictable. The favourites not always winning and when you think there is no hope of them winning, the impossible becomes the possible and they beat the leader by a hand. I’m of course talking about the swimming events at 4:30 am (GMT). I can’t tell you the race names (it’s just swimming to me), but it was so thrilling nad had me actually jumping in my bedroom as Rebecca Adlington (GRB) beat the favourite, Hoff (USA) (related to David?) (Baywatch!) to get gold while Jo Jackson (GRB) narrowly missing silver from The Hoff, but finishing an equally impressive third. Then there was the mens relay, where it looked like France had won, until the last leg, where the american guy beat him. Absolutely Thrilling! (So sorry, I’m bad with names and am not much for being technical. I also realise that most of this post has not been as thrilling as the actual races and I refer to the BBC to see the footage for yourselves.)

The People’s Lab

I don’t know why I bother. So, my temporary site idea has been turned down because it was just so poor. So, instead, I whipped Julian into shape and marched him to Costa Coffee with his laptop. I thought Costa was like Starbucks with powerpoints and free wi-fi for laptops, but it’s seems it is not. Costa is also poorly lit, making the customers more tired in a bid to buy more coffee to wake them up. Plus they don’t even do a frappuccino. Starbucks is so much better.

But that’s a different story. We got alot of work done and then set about buying things for our latest adventure idea. I’m not going to give much away yet, but the idea is already in motion and will definately in motion.

Believe me, this is going to be fun…

Top Ten Songs For My Funeral

Just to alleviate fears, I am not planning anything stupid. I know it’s a morbid topic so I am now going to shimmy through the list as quickly as possible. This means only two posts on the subject, yah! I also realise that 10 songs is alot for a funeral. The truth is it was only supposed to be 5 and then friends, families and the girlfriend could fight and bicker over which ones to use. I am not planning a funeral tour, however fun that would be. I could be the most traveled dead body. Anyway, the list awaits below:

Each couple of days or so, I will continue to countdown from 10 to 1. I will also be posting the poor suggestions I though up or recieved from Siobhan and Julian. So here begins:

The Bets Are On!

Firstly, here’s a video I made entitled: Previously on The People’s Lab. It’s a collection of clips and pictures of myself and Julian to give you a feel of what The People’s Lab will be like. Most of the content is not from The People’s Lab and is in fact some old film outtakes and footage. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

So, there I was minding my own business, (Yeah right…) and I got an email from Lib Dem London Assembly bot informing me of the upcoming meeting of the London Assembly to throw questions at Boris Johnson. They even left the email addresses of the Lib Dem MPs on the London Assembly (3 to be precise), so concerned citizens like myself may send them my thoughts and questions. Thinking “what the hell”, I went for it.
