Marillion on the Bob Harris Show

Until someone tells me to remove them…

I’ve uploaded the mp3 files I created so you can just download them if you wish.

www.foolhandy.com/songs.zip is just the three songs they played live and is about 18mb. They’re MP3s recorded at 192kpbs.

www.foolhandy.com/interview.zip is the whole interview up to when Bob played the studio version of WIWWY (there didn’t seem much point in uploading a studio track for you to download) which is when he says thanks and bye. It’s 30 minutes long and so even though I recorded it at 128kpbs it’s still about 28mb.

They’re obviously going to take a few minutes to download, but hope this helps.

Experiments With Facial Hair

It took 50 days to grow, and just 15 minutes to remove…

And wasn’t it fun along the way!

Why do people wear a tache?!

Which look’s the best for me folks?

Here’s the Wii Fit Hula Hooping Masterclass we’ve all been waiting for…

For some reason YouTube didn’t like them and wouldn’t play them properly so click on the links to see them :

Cambridge United 4 - Everton 2

It’s a video of Sky Sports News but it does the job.

If you look carefully to the right of the goal at the front after Cambridge’s 2nd, 3rd & 4th goals you can see a light coloured hat bobbing up and down. That’s me celebrating!

George W. Bush Chases Osama Bin Laden : A Child’s Toy…

A while ago I brought to your attention to the “Path Cra” game which features a model of George W. Bush on a machine-gun equipped tank chasing a skate board-riding Osama Bin Laden. This was found on sale in Seychelles and given to me as a present.

Here’s a short (sadly silent) video showing the Chinese made toy :

It’s so wrong on so many levels that you just can’t help but love it. Thank you Sandra for finding it and Gay for bringing it back to the UK for me.

I think it’s worth seeing the box again, so here it is…

In search of warm shade.

Visitor Stats

foolhandy — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 06:09:02 +0000

I thought I’d take a break from my labours to share the visitor stats for foolhandy.com from the past year. This is, honestly, more interesting than it sounds because of one thing : Spider Pig.

I posted the Spider Pig MP3 file late July, almost as soon as The Simpsons Movie was released. And wow… the above graph tells the tale rather better than words but it’s worth noting that I’ve had more hits in the first five days of June 2008 than I did in the whole of June 2007. It’s still being downloaded a fair bit now, and has been joined by the less successful for still worryingly popular Moon Pig MP3…

It may not be a BBC level of hits but still, 144 hits a day isn’t bad for a website with not much of interest on it!

Now all I need is another pull like Spider Pig.

I may have an idea…

The Joy Of Pottering

Gardener Monty Don says he is spending his time recovering from a stroke “pottering around and having a nice time”. It might not be glamorous, but it’s a simple pleasure, and it could be better for you than you think.

Well Done to the BBC for highlighting such simply and uplifting pleasures!
