Reasons why the potato famine was hilarious

1. It happened to Ireland, and anything that happens to ireland is funny
2. Once they ran out of potatoes they were screwed. Talk about over-dependance
3. Potato blight was originally an English strain of crop failure
4. The english stole all irelands food so they starved
5. They tried to cure potato famine by just growing more potatoes- which then died
6. Because it makes alan cross
7. because it makes ricky laugh during lessons
8. Because nobody helped ireland when it happened
9. the english, despite having taken their other food, only sent mediocre aid. Woo!
10. Because tom wood does not understand

Frock and Roll Ball

On sunday evening, a band called Battery Powered played amongst others in the frock and roll ball. They had a good performance, and an overally good reception from the crowd.

The highlight of my evening concerning us was when Bert Miller from 'Bert Miller and the animal folk' said that he liked our stuff and would come to see us again sometime if he was around.

We came prepared with a trick up our sleeves for the evening- in the sense that we had no sleeves! HAHAHAHS all around. KInd of. Possibly one of the lamer things we have done at a gig...

If there are any pointers to pick up from our performance on the night, it is that we need to do more songs that people know in order to be recieved well amongst people who have not heard us before. It is ok for our friends, because they already know our base set. A couple of ideas are floating around for potential covers though...

• Eye of the Tiger
• Let Me (we) entertain you
• A medley of : Pinky and the brain, Power rangers, Teenage mutant ninja turtles, pokemon, danger mouse, stingray (basically saturday morning TV themes from the 70s-90s...)

Pokemon of the week

I know it is not a pokemon exactly, but this week i am reviewing an item. The EVERSTONE...

Hm, lets see, the everstone... its a piece of crap. Can't stand it. It is a waste of one of prof Oak's aides in my opinion, they could have chosen something much more useful, i would have been happy with a poke ball to be honest.

For you non players (who aren't cool as a result), an everstone is an item you can give your pokemon that stops them from evolving. It is essentially useless to all experienced gamers.

Poor Dr. D. In any case, the everstone is awarded -1,000,000 out of 10. Anybody caught making any practical use should be shunned by society and sent somewhere where they don't want to go and cannot escape. Much like Ireland.

The Exterminator...

Yesterday morning i ran another competitive 10k race, this time at south devon college. This one was called the 'exterminator' and for good reason. First of all, it was a bloody hard race over some terrain that i didn't expect. Secondly, there was a fully functioning DALEK that started the race off!

It began downhill into stoke gabriel, and after having given blood the week before, i felt much better than i did at ivybridge- which was the day after i gave blood. So yeah, i started off really strong, because downhill really suits my running style. I was actually leading the 150 strong race for the first kilometere or so.

However, as fast as i was going, i was beginning to get worried. I was going awfully fast because of the downhill thing, but i really hoped there would not be too many hills. Boy, was i wrong.

the sad thing is i didn't realise that as far as you went downhill, i would have to run back up that distance at one point. So yeah, a good performance considering i started off too fast. Also, i got a free sports massage at the end!

The Cracker Challenge 2009

Oh man, was this funny.

It all started when we tried to break the world record for most crackers eaten in 1 minute, which i believe is 4. I was the first to step up to the plate (huh? pun?) and gave it my best shot.

Duffield's score: 1 and a half crackers

It was so tough. After 1 cracker my mouth was as dry as sand, and i had no saliva to moisten my food with! Possibly one of the hardest things i've done. It was then RICKY'S turn. This made me laugh so must by stomach hurt so bad... He just stuffed like 4 crackers into his mouth and couldn't breath or eat, i swear he nearly died!

Ricky's Score: 0. (but he threw up 4 crackers worth of crumbs in the yes centre and swallowed some dry cracker dust)

Then it was the turn of Graham. To be honest, i was disappointed. He was like, yeah lets do this, but as soon as he ate one he just spat it out, like peter griffin and the 'quality cracker barrel cheese'

Graham's score: Also 0. guess i won this!

Note: Then of course we went for the cracker eating iron man. Gotta say, ricky is a MACHINE AT ENDURANCE CRACKER EATING! he just devoured a whole pack in under half an hour.
