Emo bastards

Just got back home after a rather boozy night in the pub, third night running, ahem. Just as Caroline and I were entering our house we glanced up the road to see a guy being set upon by two ‘emo’ kids. They were viscious, with punching, forcing him to the ground, and then kicking - even stamping on his head. I ran over, along with another chap (who as a bit bigger than me, rather reassuringly), the guy was rolling around on the floor in pain with a fair amount of blood pouring from his face. The two emo kids (actually about 19 years old), were not hanging around, one stayed and mumbled something before heading off. I was on the phone to the ambulance immediately, the poor guy, by now was standing up and very emotional about the situation, at one point I thought he had it in for me but he slowly calmed down. The ambulance was pretty quick and the police turned up a moment later. I was impressed with the number of members of the public who stopped to help - 3 or 4 people were witnesses and a genuine assistance.

I was a big annoyed at my initial reaction though, for a split second I saw emo kids and thought they’re “passive”, assuming the fighting to be playing around. But they weren’t, they were just a couple of aggresive young boys who attacked a (to the best of my knowledge) perfectly innocent Australian guy who’d only been in England for a week.
Stereotypes rather obviously never do anyone any favours. Emo bastards.

Crawl of the Dead - Now online! Again!

Crawl of the Dead

I’ve just finished work on my second version of Crawl of the Dead!
Ever since the site launched I have not been pleased with it, so after a few months of hard spare-time graft, I’ve finished version 2. Or “2.0″ if you like. It’s got some general improvements to the design plus some new features.

CrawlOfTheDead.com is a social networking site for Zombies. “Because zombies need friends too…

If you’re a zombie, get yourself over there!

SingStar Fame!

After some serious SingStar loving, and then later some slightly more serious SingStar hating, I’ve now returned to the SingStar loving camp.
I’ve been given a mention on the Official SingStar newsletter!

I like to think I’ve dug a little hole for myself in the SingStar online Community, so I’m pleased to see that my videos have been recognised by the official SingStar team.

Still - I’m looking forward to improvements. The SingStore is still lacking in updates, the ratings system doesn’t work most the time and I have not been able to post a comment successfully since before Christmas… But thanks guys ;)
