Random Musings - Day #32

CCCP
I remember when I was a kid and I got asked, "What is the meaning of CCCP?" There was some joke by that question. Presumably it was that no-one knew what CCCP stood for. I'm always considered it, as Russian for USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). Check out this funny article about the CCCP Fair. People do wear CCCP shirts and jerseys and it's suggested that people do not understand what they are wearing.
BTW CCCP is also a combined community codec pack.

Tapping up
I find it funny that Harry Redknapp, Spurs manager has been accused of tapping up Robbie Keane for making this remark...
Robbie is a terrific player and a good lad but he belongs to Liverpool so it's not a possibility.

To me that looks so innocuous to me that I am not surprised that Harry has come back fighting. Surely there's more to this than meets the eye!
Check out the funny sequence with Robbie Keane and the January transfer window on special1tv. At least Rafa will be happy as his 12-man Liverpool beat 10-man Chelsea, 2-0.

The Gillette Curse
I was watching an advert for Gillette, which features Thierry Henry, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer. But the curse is definitely on. Roger Federer lost again to Rafael Nadal, this time in the Australian Open. Tiger Woods has not been seen since injuring his left knee when winning the 2008 US PGA Open (even though he still #1 in the world rankings). Whilst Thierry Henry? Thierry who?
Arguably, the new brigade should be Nadal, world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Garcia.

Bootable Pendrives
Here's the way to install linux and backtrack onto a pen drive. Personally, you would not want a writable OS on a pendrive because constant read/writing (particularly in swap files) is not good for a technology that uses flash media.

Dairy Milk
Have to give praise to whoever is in charge of advertising for Cadbury's Dairy Milk, with the 80s throwback. First, there's the Gorilla impersonating Phil Collins. Now, a very cute video of two kids raising their eyebrows all over the place on the back of a funky 80s beat.

UK Chart
A bit of surprise as Lily Allen scores her second number 1 hit (after "Smile" in July 2006). She displaces Lady Gaga (#2) and Kid Cudi slips a slot to #3.

Trevor McDoughnut
I leave you with Trevor McDoughNut (Lenny Henry) eventually singing the blues.
