Lighting the Fuse

Of course I feel lucky that Earth did not get hit by the near-miss asteroid recently. But frankly, I’m also glad that the Canadian lego man with the flag didn’t get wiped out!

With summer behind us, I feel its only fair to keep spirits up with a little series about superyachts. Of course I have written here before about, amongst other things, Mukesh Ambani’s yacht. But lets focus on some more. The first is called Sea Force 1. She is owned by a London banker who wanted […]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is officially the most expensive photo. Ever. The Andreas Gursky photo has just been sold by auction at Christie’s for the eye-watering sum of USD 4,338,000 presumably to an anonymous buyer who likes rivers. Click here to see the Christie’s page for the auction  lot. Admittedly it is a very BIG photograph, which […]

Take an inspiring and inspired trip around the world from the comfort of your own lounge with this extremely well stitched together and edited film. In their words: 3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious […]

I take no credit for these photos or the text, but I wanted to put it on my blog as I thought it was so hilarious. Whoever wrote this, hats off to you (pun definitely intended). As I said, the text here is not my own, I have received this email about 5 times from different people […]

I actually thought this was an April Fools gag, it would have been pretty funny if it had. But the article appeared on the 30th of March, so sadly that option is out. Which article am I talking about? Apparently (According to this Daily Mail article), a house in Swansea looks like Hitler. The house […]

Old one, but a good one. Lady reacts to missing a flight at Hong Kong airport to LA via Manila (since learning that she was on en-route to LA, this suddenly all makes sense!).I just love the repeated, ongoing and seemingly relentless despair that she shows at missing that plane. The poor woman, she was […]

This is pretty amazing. The production company was apparently filming this car commercial, when they accidentally captured what can only be an image of a ghost on camera. Before you watch, turn the sound on (you need to turn it up quite loud, or you won’t hear it). Then watch the car very closely.  Just […]

So as a world record holder myself (see here if you were not aware that I hold the world record for the most number of consecutive alternate eyebrow twitches in a minute), I can see the attraction of wanting hold a world record. This guy already had 11, so not sure why he felt the […]
