I love movies, no matter how budget. This fighting sequence is perhaps the worst but most amusing ever created. Caution, not for the lighthearted.

Monty Python has just launched their own YouTube channel, worth subscribing to.

The Star Trek trailer is now out too. Likely to be one of the biggest films of next year.

This is the football team I support. Hard as nails.

Ged Carroll memed me to find out where I get my inspiration from for my blog and thoughts? Plenty of places but here are a few ideas…

- Suggested links from blogging, Facebook, Twitter and FriendFeed friends

- Delicious, Digg and other social bookmarking tools

- Traditional media reading such as The Times, The Guardian, The Economist, BBC, NY Times

- An endless array of podcast subscriptions

- ViralVideoChart.com

- Top political blogs and PoliticsHome.com

- Job experiences

- Film, music and sport

- When I’m on a run

- And most importantly pub chatter i.e. people I meet

Gordon obviously doesn’t think so, and his performance at PMQs today was a complete disgrace. On a day when we’ve had such awful news he really should act more appropriately.
