Thought I’d share a video my brother shot of our holiday in France. We shot over two hours worth of video and this video has the best bits condensed into 3 minutes. Obviously there’s plenty of scenes of us messing about too but this cut is for public domain.

Check it out:

Also here is a quick 3D view of one of the roads we walked in Lourdes (use the mouse to drag around):

And there you have it, a little insight.

So we all know money is created out of thin air right? WHAT? You didn’t know that? Seriously……

Here are some things you could try to piss off your bank for fun, after all you’re not doing anything wrong just stating the truth which they do not like.

I haven’t tried all of the ones I’ll list below but they are no doubt bound to get a funny reaction.

Tip # 1 – Next time you deposit cash or perform a balance transfer ask the cashier to add an extra 0, after all no real money is being transferred, it’s just digits on a screen.

Tip # 2 – If you have a loan, credit card, ask your bank to show you the validation of the debt (showing the bank has made a loss by ‘lending’ you money).

Tip # 3 – Ask your bank manager if he or she knows of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, in particular sections 76 to 78 and make a request for a lawful (keyword) contract of credit.

Tip # 4 – When the cashier hands you cash tell them it’s not heavy enough (this one is brilliant).

Tip # 5 – Tell your bank you’re happy to settle your credit card balance by filling out a blank piece of A4 with the words “I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of XXX pounds” and then sign it, wait for them to react and ask them what the difference between the information on the paper is to the information on a bank note.

Tip # 6 – Tell your bank their requests for payments are being directed to a crown entity and that you no longer wish to represent that entity as is your unalienable right to do so.

Tip # 8 – If you’re going to request a loan, ask the bank if they’re happy for ‘you’ to lend ‘them’ money by signing a promissory note which will create the credit X 9 to 33.

Have fun.

Oh and as a disclaimer:

I am not responsible for the events which may arise from you following any of the above. You do so at the risk of your own humiliation.

Not a big update this one. It’s been rather hot yesterday, quite humid actually to the extent where inhaling doesn’t give you the sense of any air moving into your lungs as the ambience is pretty close to your body temperature. Needless to say it meant for a challenging day at work.

Dealt with a police “officer” today at work. Funny enough he was on his day off and wearing very casual apparel apart from a black polo-shirt which sported a big Avon and Somerset Police logo. His camera was a bit dirty so he needed it cleaned. He also thought it would seem to make a world of difference telling me he was a police officer. I didn’t really care due to my lack of respect for the police force in general and the way it exercises its powers. He went on to tell me how he uses the camera in the field but all this information was irrelevant to me and I really didn’t care.

Not sure what others may think of Pat Condell on the infamous YouTube.com but the dude is an outright shitter. Watched one of his videos regarding the Burka or Hijab as you may better know it. Whilst I agree with a few of his comments I can’t help but notice his detest of Muslims in general? Is he another Brit afraid of Islamofication? I mean it’s very interesting that a highly intellectual being with what appears to be a decent background and education would think the country is slowing being transformed into another “hands on the chopping board” state like Saudi Arabia (for stealing). You really have to be a numb nut to survive on information distributed through mainstream media without pondering a thought on its authenticity as no doubt you will always be non the wiser than man who reads no news, after all, how much of the news today is actually truth? The tabloids always hype things up and execpt the cash-cows to sing. Everything is about capital gain. Anyway I’m not saying just because someone is a Muslim you’re not allowed to detest them or their race, you may do so if you like, I don’t care, but publicly? What would YouTube.com do to those videos expressing the same nuances of hatred towards other religions? And this ass wipe is on the ‘featured’ page of YouTube.com. Way to go YouTube!

Also on the topic of Islam and Muslims, isn’t it interesting that The Sun quoted Jermaine Jackson’s speech about MJ but left out the bit where he said “may allah be with you”, the same can be said for nearly all other media giants. Anyone wanna tell me there is no agenda going on here? Pull the other one please. Rupert Murdoch must be laughing at my blog post.

If I were to use one word to sum up my holiday experience in France it would be “epic”. I had such an awesome time there that being back in Britain has made me realise a few things. One of them being the superiority complex that white Britons seem to possess. I don’t mean to point fingers like a racist but too many times people here have said “the french this, the french that” etc.  Maybe it’s because I come from an Asian background and don’t have the everlasting overzealous patriotism for this country which blinds me from the acceptance of “we are no better”, I don’t know but one thing is for sure, I definitely noticed a big difference between the folks there to the people here. They were kind, courteous, friendly and above all not too miserable or conservative to engage in conversations. It’s nice to be able to point your camera at people and get a smile as a natural reaction compared to people here frowning at you in disgust thinking you’re some kind of twisted paedophile on the prowl for some kiddie eye candy. It’s true to say that a man walking through town here holding his daughter’s hand would probably arouse suspicion that he may potentially be a paedophile. What happened to the 90s?

Anyway,  (**shit as I type this a massive moth has just flown into my room from the window and I totaled it with my shoe in mid-air, awesome!**) I got some cool pictures from the holiday. All in all we had taken around 700 shots of which 580 were keep worthy. The weather was awesome with the exception of rain but that’s to be expected when going up a mountain 6000 ft above sea level into the clouds. It really hammered down with rain and we were actually in a cloud which probably explained why we couldn’t dry off quickly enough as the atmosphere was just water vapour.

Here are a few pics from the holiday:

Well, hopefully the above shots give a gist of what the time off work was like. Was incredible!

As a further point to note in this blog entry; I went out for a 40 mile long cycle with a friend. Cycled to Weston-super-mare then down through Burnham-on-sea to Bridgewater and all the crappy little towns in between that have nothing but fields and warehouses like most of somerset.

Check out the google route below:

We got the train back to Temple Meads Bristol and the scary thing is our bikes had to be locked in a separate carriage and given the ‘monetary value’ (two words I don’t really like to use together) of the bikes we kept poking our heads out the window to make sure nobody would pull a ‘fast one’ (excuse the pun). Road bikes are just awesome machines and once you cover good mileage on them you bond to them like they are a part of you and to be honest they are just an extension to your legs. It’s just you and the road……..and two mega thin wheels which keep you rollin’. I really do need to adjust my body geometry on my bike as today I thought I lost my scrotum and penis numerous times due to the lack of blood circulation in the nether regions. Maybe a tweak here and there by a few millimeters will help.

I think I’ll cut this one here.

My one week holiday from work now commences as of Sunday 21st June 2009 and it’s one I am only too glad to have as it’s been a while since my last holiday in November of 2008.

Not such a busy day at work yesterday (Saturday) and knowing you’ve got the week off the following day just makes time all that much slower. On the bright side though, we’ve received the Casio Exilim EX-H20, a camera I have been a massive fan since over a year ago and that’s without actually using one. Why? Because it can shoot extremely high speed video which means super slowmo video clips. Now popping water balloons has never been more entertaining! To be honest though I love it mainly for the video feature as it just works so damn well.

Check out the video below shot at 1200 frames per second:

Oh and to end this post did you know students are to be taught “How to Think” about conspiracy theories? It’s just as the Daily Telegraph reports it. We are living in shitty times right now and the powers that be know lots of us are waking up and are afraid. They will try all sorts of crazy things such as biological experiments. Do you think swine flu just happen to come about because of dodgy pigs? Pigs have been around for ages and there are some real nasty pig sties in the poverty stricken areas in China for example, why didn’t it start from there?

Think outside of the box for just one freaking second, shut your damn television and ask questions.

Now I know I may be clobbered with mallets stamped with anti-conspiracy badges but the powers that be just like to throw things into your face in the hope people won’t get it. The thing is there are a growing number of us that do and frankly it spoils the film. Last time was Star Trek and an hour ago I got back from watching the second installment of Michael Bay’s awesome trilogy; Transformers: Revenge of the fallen. I couldn’t help (along with my brother) but notice the amount of Illuminati symbolism. If you don’t know what I am talking about check out the the picture below, it’s on the freakin back of a dollar bill.

I really don’t know what to say…I guess they do own Hollywood. There were also some moments of reverse psychology at play, one scene in particular is where your average teenage internet geek is reading news on the internet and shouts “hey check it out there’s a new video of Shanghai” to which he’s met with “I don’t believe that stuff, it’s fake”. This is where the psychology takes place as he then replies with “dude this is the internet, it’s video, it is the truth”.

Anyways putting my little rant aside I’m due for a holiday very shortly (starting this Sunday) and I’ll be heading to the Pyrenees in France with some friends. We’ll be staying in Aspin-e-lavedan in Hotel Les Marquises, a short distance from the Pyrenees mountains. Should be an awesome trip.

Well I’ve decided to resurrect my blog after I foolishly decided to give up on it last time. This is my blog and if you don’t like it then don’t read it as I will no doubt, also be using it to express my anti-government opinions and the whole crap with this New World Order rubbish. Most of the times however, you will probably find lots of random entries.
