Gamu-gate memorabilia on eBayMon 11 Oct 2010 at 06:03

She's probably the best known of this year's X Factor contestants even though she's not in the show anymore... or the country for long but people have gone mad for Gamu!

I randomly did a little eBay search for Gamu and was amazed what I found.  First off we've got this lovely Gamu CD clock, it's like a clock made from a CD with a still of Gamu from the TV show on it (copyright Syco entertainment) - that can be yours for just £3.75.

How about a lovely Guma Nhengu doll?  11 hours left to get your hands on this life-like replica of the X Factor failure - look, she's even got the red flower in her hair!  The seller says "I have made this doll to support the nation in protest against the bad desicions made on Sunday to deny Gamu the chance of proving how good she is".

     

Then there's the mug - standard.

And a "don't shoot Gamu" t-shirt, which based on some of the stories in the press this weeks, is actually in pretty bad taste - but I'm sure she'll be fine, she just needs to correct the bank account number that she originally got wrong on her visa application and she'll be back in no time.

This is amazing, I love it. Don't have personal arguments in public places!

I'm probably in quite a lot of trouble now for doing this but legally I'm fine.

Don't shoot the mail manSat 09 Oct 2010 at 14:27

Anyone who knows me will know that my Dad is a postman (higher grade), this is a true story of an event which occurred on his round.

My Dad use to deliver to a big old mental hospital, I don't know the PC terms, loony bin?  It was on a big country estate, so he buzzed in and drove his post van up the drive to the big converted manor house.

Just as you will have seen Pat do in the past, Dad grabbed a bundle of letters and walked towards reception but sat up in a tree out the front was one of the patients.

The guy was in his pajamas and saw my Dad coming and made a gun shape with his hands and pretended to shoot my Dad, sniper-style from the tree.  So to continue the fun my Dad pretended he had been shot and sort of fell to the ground near his van.

Then miraculously my Dad came back to life and, over the bonnet of his van, returned imaginary fire to the guy up the tree.

The patient too acted as if he has been shot, he raised his hands to his chest in fake pain, went limp, keeled over... and fell straight out of the tree.


Please note: this may not actually be a true story.

Is today Back to the Future Day?Mon 05 Jul 2010 at 16:36

Last week the buzz on the internet was that Justin Bieber died in a horrific car crash, today it’s that 5th July 2010 is Back to the Future Day... it’s not, let me explain.

The story goes that when Doc and Marty are in the car park near the beginning of the film Doc says that he is going to go 25 years in to the future, the movie was set in 1985 so of course that means the Doc would pull up in his DeLorean in 2010 – this year.

Because of this Twitter has been bussing with talk of today being BTTF Day but it’s not.  Before Doc tells Marty about his trip to 2010 Doc shows Marty how the time machine works and throws a few random dates in , first 4th July 1776, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, then the birth of Christ and then March 19th 1955, the day he invented the time travel.

Then the bad guys arrive, the Libyans, after the Doc gets shot Marty jumps in to the car, accidently engages the time circuits and ends up at the last date the Doc entered – 1955.

So you see, if the Libyans hadn’t have shown up the Doc WOULD have visited 2010 but he never entered today’s date in to the DeLorean’s systems and as for where 5th July came from, I have no idea.

FACT!
