Random Musings - Day #42
Nappy Factor
The stats look good for Tiger Woods winning the US Open due to the Nappy Factor. Previous winners, Phil Mickelson (2002), Zach Johnson (2007) and Trevor Immelman (2008) won just after having a baby boy.
Eggs
I just had an omelette. Curiously I didn't make it in the style of Delia Smith. There was a time when health experts said eggs were good for you. A good source of protein. However for many years since then, eggs have been considered to be bad in that they are high in cholesterol, particular the yolk. But now it looks like it is good for you after all as it does not raise cholesterol.
Here's more nutrition details.
Running/Shoes
Here's the UK Running Directory of all the outdoor tracks in the UK. Talking of running. I recently bought two pairs of shoes from a local stores and I've broke BOTH of them in less than a month. Shows you, you can't beat a certain of degree of quality and that I've not learned from hostel mistake in Dublin, last December, where I booked the hostel from hell.
Films
Well I was overhearing someone watching Mary Poppins and there's one scene that reminds me of the credit crunch. That's when the boy goes to the bank with his banker dad. When the boy doesn't want to give his tupence to the bank, the manager snatches the tupence from him and welcomes him to the bank. The boy screams "Give me back my money" and then everyone else in the bank demanded their money back. Sounds like our banks today. Heh.
In Shaun of the dead, there's one scene with John, the owner of the Winchester becomes a zombie and attacks Shaun and co. He looks suspiciously like John McCririck.

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...
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.

Robbie is a terrific player and a good lad but he belongs to Liverpool so it's not a possibility.
