Land of the Leprechauns (and bad wind)

Yes I am talking about Ireland! That is the place I went on holiday and a few of you may remember me posting a post when I was extremely tired! So Ireland was fun, and, wait for it, extremely sunny! Yes, I did go to Ireland the place famed for having lots and lots of rain, and we didn’t have any! Well, one day we had some light drizzly, but that’s nothing compared to where I am now! In fact, when I was away Uckfield (which is the place I live) flooded! Anyway, enough of me being British like and talking about the weather, and onto something else!

The beach! Just down the road from us was this really nice beach where we went a few times and my mum walked our dog along (I did come with them on a few occasions, when I was actually awake!) Well one day, when my mum and I had just walked the dog, we were walking up the beach towards my Dad and sister, Katie, who came running up to us and told us, with great joy, that one of the men behind them had just farted! Now I should probably explain. My dad and Katie were sitting on the beach and hear a massive breakage of wind behind them, now Katie, and this is the part she didn’t tell us, turned round to these two old men sitting behind them and said: “Now which one of you two did that?” Yes, she turned round to two complete strangers, and asked them which one had just farted. No wonder when we were walking up the beach one of the men had his hand on his head and the other was in fits of laughter!

Now I’m not sure if much else of the holiday will really interest you, except for my dog laying on the sofas every day when he was extremely sandy. I’ll leave you to imagine the mess!

So there you go, my first blog post in nearly a month! I hope you enjoyed it and I will be back soon, unless I forget. Cya!

Whoops

Okay okay, I’m sorry, I was supposed to post on Thursday but I didn’t. Well, at the moment I am sitting in the back of a car at the town of Fishguard which is in Wales. But how do I have internet? Well that is down to my iPhone sitting next to me which is sharing a bit of internet with my laptop so that I can actually post! Cool, right?

Okay, well this is actually going to be a relatively short post as I am very VERY tired due to being up since 3am. I was up that early because we are going on holiday to Ireland and for some reason we are catching the 11am ferry. Eugh so tired! Okay I’ll just wrap this up because it’s not very interesting, and doesn’t make sense. I will post in Ireland if I manage to find some internet and am actually awake! C’ya

Are you mental!?

First of all, sorry! I haven’t posted in *counts on fingers* more days than I can count on my fingers, so that’s far too many! As a result of this I have a lot to talk about, so am going to do two posts, so as not to make this one to long.

What shall this one be about… I think it’ll be on a YouTube comedy series I’ve been working on called Tales of a Mental Home. So what is this you ask? Well Tales of a Mental Home (or TOAMH for short) is a series that the brilliant Robert Primrose thought of (follow his Twitter) about, well, a mental home! Obviously there are lots of things that you would expect to happen at a mental home, with the patients being in the state that they are in, so this idea has a lot of potential!

Now we have already filmed and edited episode 1 and it is on YouTube, so I have put it in the bottom of this post! I believe Roo has already thought of what happens in all the episodes, though as far as scripting goes, I’m not so confident!The first episode was directed by Roo, but episode 2 will be directed by Roo’s twin brother, Mark (his twitter) and I’m not sure about the others!

But what role do I have in all this? I shall be/have done the filming for it, and am also doing the editing, with input from the director! For those of you that are interested, I used iMovie to edit the first episode because it wasn’t overly complicated, the second I will probably use Final Cut Express, because I like it!

So, I hope you enjoyed my return, and I shall do another post tomorrow to make up for not posting before! Toodles ;)

Awesomeness With Alice!

So, Today I had my friend Alice round mainly because we were going to see Gareth perform in the school of rock concert that I’m sure he has mentioned, actually, I know he has mentioned! But, it turned out that we weren’t able to go without spending the whole day at school doing a very very boring drama thing! So, we decided to make a video. Alice already has a Vlog, so we thought we’d make a video that, then we didn’t know what to talk about, so we decided to make a challenge video…

This involved us drinking ketchup, eating fish custard, eating cinnamon, putting make-up on, me eating an onion and us having a sleeping bag race!  There may be more but you have to watch the video to find them because I can’t always remember things…

Fish fingers and custard: it was surprisingly nice, for the first three, then after that it started to get a bit disgusting! I would have normally moved on to tomato ketchup, however just before this we had drunk part of a bottle of ketchup. Not nice. Needless to say this has put me off tomato ketchup for quite a while… Cinnamon is great with various things, but by itself it causes all the moisture to be sucked from your mouth and then, when you try and drink water, it seems to absorb that as well!

I was going to try and beat the world record for eating a whole raw onion, but after a few bites I started feeling sick and decided to give up… Anyway, please watch the video which you will find below because I think you might enjoy it! C’ya

I love it. Had some great conversations with @Truth_Logic and @Peter_Blake! It’s strangely fantastic talking to complete strangers about random things! I s’pose that’s all I have to say really! But I shall also add this picture to prove to Peter Blake that it is really me who runs this website! C’ya

I'm Scrobby, I'm worse than anyone's aunt!

Update – I missed out @robdog1921, how could I do that!?

I speak, therefore I am!

Okay, so I have downloaded some speech recognition software which allows me to speak to my computer and it, supposedly, displays exactly what I said on the screen, how useful! But it does have a habit of getting things a little bit wrong… So I’m going to make this blog post and I’m not going to With correct any of the errors that it makes I’m just going to speak and let it do its job. What’s the worst that could happen!?

So, I’m not actually quite sure what to write about. I suppose I could talk about something that I’m doing with Gareth tomorrow. Yes, I realise that might sound slightly wrong to those who do not know what I’m going (that’s meant to be doing) but it is this thing called MUNGA (Which Stands on What Will United Nations Gen Assembly) We Are Basically Being Cracks Which Involves Taking Pictures of the People Speaking (I Had No Idea Why Did I Think Those Things (Well This Really Isn’t Getting Me))

– Okay, I Think I Will Actually Correct Things from Now on Because This Is Just Crazy!!! –

So, Gareth and I are being press, which involves running around (although not too much running, hopefully) taking pictures of people, and thinking of things to report. In theory. Actually, all I know is that I have to bring in my camera and dress relatively smartly. If I can find some batteries, I might take my dictaphone just for the hell of it! And yes, I have a dictaphone it doesn’t work too well, and Gareth will probably be using his iPhone to record what people say, and will then mock me when he has a better quality of notes. But hey, I will need to find some batteries first, which in my house is a bit of a task…

So that’s MUNGA (a word which my computer cannot recognise, annoyingly) but on a different subject, if any of you know the Scrobbiers, in particular Chelsey and Joy, then please ask them to post more often and cook them, no don’t cook them, poke them constantly until they do post!!!

Anyway, I am going to go back to doing nothing! C’ya

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I would like to say I’ve been busy, but that would be a lie… I have sort of been busy at school though because we have been filming and editing our advert for bananas, which you can watch below! It took a bit of work, but our english teacher teacher of english took no convincing to act in it whatsoever! We had a lot of fun filming and editing it and can’t wait to do some more next year!

Also in the realms of the media we had the Uscars the other day, which is basically a lesser version of the Oscars that we have for our school (Uckfield Community Technology College, which then they take Oscars, remove the O and replace it with U, just incase you didn’t get that!) A movie by my friend that I had helped with bits of filming, editing and special effects won the award for best year 13 film! But unfortunately the quality of the video for some reason went funny when we showed it!

So that’s all really, enjoy the video and make sure you click the like button! C’ya

So, I was in France for the past few days, or as my english teacher would call it the land of the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but of course I wouldn’t be that mean! But what was I doing in France? I was watching the 24 hour race at Le Mans, which was pretty fun! I ended up only watching about 4 hours of the race, due to sleep, food and god knows what else! I won’t bore you with the full details of the race, but the Audi’s got 1st, 2nd and 3rd place!

But there was one slight issue of drunkenness. I don’t drink, but my Dad, Uncle and their friends? That was a slightly different story! Again, I won’t go into detail, but they just about managed to stumble in to bed at night, and not too quietly! Also, right next to the race track is a café, of which I can’t remember the name, and we went in there at the end of the race. The café has a speaker and a microphone, and they sometimes allow people to use them both. This was fine, with the first person who could actually sing, then there was someone else who was singing something to do with sunshine mountain… The song would have been quite good, had the guy not started offending pretty much everyone in the bar and if he could actually sing! Needless to say they did take the microphone off him, eventually…

All in all, Le Mans was a lot of fun, and I would definitely like to go again! I shall be back next time with whatever this actually is that you are reading! C’ya

Ah…

When I got home and was able to acces this very website again, I noticed that the post I tried to upload yesterday from my phone wasn’t there! Needless to say I was annoyed with the crapness of my phone for not uploading the post. But, it turns out I need to actually press the upload button and tick the box that says publish. So that’s what I’ve done this time, and that’s the reason why you can read this post! I shall now leave you to laugh at my failings. C’ya
