:eek:

He did the whole campaign to find as many people called Dave Gorman as possible. Then he lived by his horoscopes for weeks to see if it made a difference.

haha ok....

Wasn't that on the Frank Skinner show?

And he did the googlewhack adventure, which I have on dvd and book.
Great guy. I really like the way he manages to be funny without,
A) Resorting to slapstick
B) Making up random jokes.
The jokes he does make are tied into the story, and they're much funnier because it ties in, like if anyones seen the google whack adventure,

Dave : I know what you're thinking, you're thinking 'But Dave, what does this do to the barchart?", but a barchart won't show us anything, so we don't have one.
*pause*
Dave: BUT LOOK WHAT IT DOES TO THE PIE CHART!

I need to see the googlewhack stuff. The first was great.

DGPSM - Dave Gormans per square mile. If my maths coursework could have been like that, I wouldnt have cared if I failed.

Googlewhack adventure is great, the book goes into more detail, but the DVD makes up for it with more jokes and the fact that he can tell such a long story and keep your interest using only a microphone and a slide projector.
(If you get the DVD the outtakes are great, it's pretty much just the stage director coming on and teling them theres a problem and him taking the piss out of her)

First post of the day.

Broken Arrow is so poor

Any movie that features stealth planes is going to be one up on any other.

But it is pretty bad.

The Googlewhack adventure DVD is great (and I got it for a fiver, in Virgin, which helped), but I don't think it's as good as the Dave Gorman Collection/Are You Dave Gorman?. That was kind of a one-off, I think.

Dave Gorman looks/sounds rather funny. Should I attempt to check him out?

Whatever floats your boat

I loved the one where it said "Suprise an old friend", so he got a washing machine box, knocked on the door then hid in the box.

His friend opened the door and he popped out saying "Suprise!" and offering a hug.

It then went back to the studio, where he said

"This was not the best time to find that my friend had moved house."

Ill look out for it on friday. Err, tommorrow. Though im spending far too much money again this month

Now im off to vote. With the polling station just across the road. I love being lazy

THAT is frickin hysterical. Okay, that settles it. I have to at least check this guy out a little bit.

I knew there had to be some advantage to going to a convent school: Lie ins on holy days :D School started at 1045 today :p

Its a holy day?

Aparently so!

I think it's ascension day? (which I can't even spell) but I may be wrong and I only know that by chance...

James: just read your entry from last nights gig- glad you had a good time lucky bastard :lol: you seem to be being lucky with stuff at gigs this week....:angry:

edit: oooh if I do about 5 more posts in a row I might rival *isitaggro?* and piss off Brew! :D

Yeah, it's Ascension day apparently. Nice of them to make the election the same day.

I found it rather humorous the other day when I learnt Tony Blair's birthday is infact tomorow

I guess you, Ben and Bob are the only ones here old enough to actually vote :lol:
*possibly James*

Next year for me

Which ones are Ben and Bob and James?

[QUOTE=ChodaBoy]Next year for me[/QUOTE]

There may be some kind of election. Just not a general election.

Yeah, the local elections are what I meant to type

Big voting turnout in my area. The labour candidate was harassing people at the door but was really struggling for effort.

Plus our area is such a Conservative stronghold i think he knows it was pointless.

Did you kick him in the shins?

:lol:

My mate had some leaflet shoved in her hand while walking home from school the other day: thick candidate didn't realise school uniform=unable to vote :lol:

[QUOTE=Bartender]Did you kick him in the shins?[/QUOTE]

I think he was suffering enough. One of the other stations had a Veritas candidate. That would have called for some shin kicking.

I have my first AS exam tomorrow :eek:

Music Tech Structured Commentry...

Woo.

Have fun with that :)

I could make a post of all the stuff I need to remember for it.

Thats pretty much it, I need to remember a few more Bar numbers though :)

Hey, Adam, I wanted to show someone that Hulk avatar you had, but then you changed to the clinking beer mugs one! What gives?

/anger

I had a feeling I was spelling the poor dudes name wrong.

The thing is though....its hardly an exam, we've been given a past paper and been told [B]exactly[/B] what to write in the real exam, its just a case of remembering it all.

Oh, hi, Med. You're currently number 7 on my compatability list, I believe, on RYM.

That, or it's another Radiohead/Muse obsessed Medopalis...
