On his tour of Britain thing, and I noticed a really cool bass tune, obviously by a good bassist, with a beautiful tone! So here it is.

A "Learn how to Speak Spanish" video we had to see in Spanish class had the sweetest slap groove ever. Me and the other bassist in there were estactic.

There was a Toyota ad I saw a while ago that had the funkiest bass line, can't remember what model car it was for.

I saw billy connolly in melbourne.

Haha... so you should be!

But I was a fan of Noel's House Party, back in the day. I even went to Crinkley Bottom, the Blobby Theme Park. It's up in Morecambe... it was better before Noel Edmunds bought it though. Happy Mount Park, it was then. :)

That program is either great or terrible depending on how you look at it.

It requires no skill to win.

This is true, but I for some reason really enjoy the program. It does get to me though when the contestants try to "feel spiritual energy" from the boxes, man that makes them look like complete fools.

Indian deal or no deal kicks arse. They have velvet bags instead of cases.

A quarter of a million pounds.... 22 identical sealed boxes.... and no questions.... Except one... DEAL or NO DEAL?

I love it when the guys round the edges promise to try really hard to make their number be low... because of course that IS something they have control over.

Anyway, yes, Noel Edmunds rocks.

So, apparently, does Blobby.

ANd who's been to see Deal or No Deal live?

ha! that is such a cool picture!

Noel Edmunds really gets on my nerves! I would watch deal or no deal more often if he was not on it, I just hate how he acts really smug. I did enjoy watching Noels house party when I was younger though.
