Funny Video of the Day – Stephen Fry on Wagner

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Henry Elliss

I know this has probably been retweeted and shared to death, but I couldn’t help it – this just makes me chuckle. It’s so well made!

Funny Video of the Day – Ben Folds’ Ode to Merton

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Whatever happened to Chat Roulette? : ) This great video was created by Ben Folds as a response to the YouTube ‘sensation’ Merton – a (very amusing) guy who used to go on Chat Roulette and sing to strangers. Apparently lots of people were accusing Folds of BEING Merton, so he decided to pay his…

Funny Video of the Day – Fry and Laurie Aussie Soap

Posted on October 22, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Apparently this was from the pilot episode of ‘A bit of Fry and Laurie’ from back in 1987. Despite being a massive Fry & Laurie fan from series 1 or 2, the first time I really remember hearing this sketch was as part of a comedy-themed audio cassette that was given away on the front…

Funny Video of the Day – Cassetteboy vs The One Show

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Since the One Show has been quite considerably over-hauled since this was made, I feel a lot less bad about laughing so heartily at this video…

Funny Video of the Day – Top Gun, Re-cut

Posted on October 19, 2010 by Henry Elliss

The first in a series of several “re=cut” movie trailers, made by various smart-folk on YouTube. This one is ‘Top Gun’, recut to focus on a different love story than the original film…

Posted on October 18, 2010 by Henry Elliss

In light of the fact that most of my friends are talking about how good the ‘Social Network’ movie is, I thought it was about time I revisited this AWESOME fake trailer for the Twitter movie, inspire by the Social Network trailer…

My Year in Photos – October 17th – “Hunting for Gruffalo”

Posted on October 17, 2010February 18, 2014 by Henry Elliss

My Year in Photos – October 18th – "Hunting for Gruffalo", originally uploaded by henweb. Today we made what is fast becoming our annual Autumn visit to the Harcourt Arboretum, near Oxford. The Arboretum is part of the Oxford University Gardens, apparently – despite the fact that it’s nowhere near the Uni. But either way,…

Funny Video of the Day – “Ladies of the World” by Flight of the Conchords

Posted on October 17, 2010 by Henry Elliss

The first of what may well turn in to several Flight of the Conchords videos in this section. What can I say? I’m a sucker for New Zealand gangster-folk… NOTE: There’s actually an ‘official’ music-video-style version of this song, put out by the show’s creators, but I can’t seem to embed it. It’s here though.

Funny Video of the Day – Strange kid singing Cascada

Posted on October 16, 2010 by Henry Elliss

I know it’s mean to laugh at children, but this kid is properly impressive when he lip-syncs. He also bears a spooky resemblance to a young Cory Haim, particularly as ‘Mouth’ in the Goonies. Either way, he’s a mini-legend.

Funny Video of the Day – Darth Vader Feeling Blue

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Henry Elliss

Another classic which I stumbled back across the other day. If you ever thought that you were the only person who thought that Darth Vader’s mouthpiece resembled a mouth organ… you are not alone!

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfold Had the absolute pleasure of seeing @actualbenfolds again last night, this time at the @royalalberthall. Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!
Went to the ‘Spectacle of Light’ at @welfordpa Went to the ‘Spectacle of Light’ at @welfordpark (where they film @britishbakeoff) and had a lovely autumnal stroll amongst the lights
As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
