King of Pop Michael Jackson is planning to erect a 50 foot robotic version of himself outside of Vegas that incoming plane passengers will be able to see from the air. The Robot giant will be placed in the desert and will feature laser beams shooting from his eyes into the heavens above.

Apparently the Robot will be built if a series of Las Vegas shows go ahead featuring Jacko, it this happens I’m getting myself out to Vegas again, it sounds amazing! I haven’t made this up check out the original story on engadget.

If you enjoyed my robot innuendo you might like this story too.

Troll faced Wayne Rooney is now advertising Coca-cola. I am curious how these adverts will effect sales of the carbonated drink.

Why do they have to mess about with the clocks twice every year. I couldn’t get a kebab last night because the take-away I went to stops serving food at 5 at least the club stayed open to 4 o’clock (which would be 3 o’clock by non daylight saving time).

What I’d like to see them do is move the clocks forward 30 minutes and then just leave them alone forever, that would be ace!

I am now the proud owner of a weekend ticket for Leeds festival this year. I am very excited about this all! I haven’t been to a festival for the entire weekend since Reading 2003, although I did manage to get into the V Festival on the Sunday to see the Streets using a dodgy wristband in 2005.

One of the things that concerns me is how the Emo kids are going to be able to style their Swoops while they’re camping at the festival. I shall be camping with the rest of the IBWC (Ironbridge Wrecking Crew) but we wont have this problem as we’ll be able to pop to my brothers house for general washing and swoop straightening purposes. Pictures below Ian Watkins of Lost Prophet fame who will playing at Leeds this year.

I’ve also applied to do stewarding at this years Glastonbury festival but am yet to hear if I’ve been accepted for this, fingers crossed.

Why have they changed the £20 notes? I don’t like the new ones, still at least they’ve still got the queen on them.

What does Avril Lavigne see in that chump from Sum 41? Maybe she just really liked Fat Lip.

In typical style of this blog I have decided to start a new section, like most of my other sections this will probably run for one or two posts and then fade into obscurity. The section is called “Pete’s Advert Watch” and the concept is I discuss product advertisements which have caught my attention recently.

My favourite advert currently is for Britain’s favourite dried dog food (I think it might be Bakers Complete). The storyline is brilliant, the voice over states that dogs would have to go along way to find a tastier dried dog food than this one. Some intrepid Dogs are then shown travelling into space, once in orbit of the earth they dock with a space station. What do they find on this space station? Only a collection of Space-faring dogs enjoying Britain’s Favourite dog food! How do they come up with these amazing ideas!

In the 1950s and 1960s the crazy Russians (USSR at the time) sent a number of dogs into space to determine if human space travel could be possible. The first animals intentionally sent into space were fruit flies, a Monkey called Albert II was the first mammal sent into space in 1949. Tragically Albert II died on return to earth due to a parachute failure.

Workmen from Bristol have painted over the earliest know Banksy mural because they thought it was vandalism that needed clearing up. Although the Banksy tag would have originally been considered vandalism, Bristol Council ordered all Banksy “street art” to be preserved when the artist gained mainstream exposure. The piece of art painted over had been done on the side of a garage and is thought to have been worth around £100,000.

Pictured above is the mural before and after with a picture of a balaclava sporting Bansky in the corner. You can notice that some sharp witted satirist has written “Wot No Banksy?” on the black paint afterwards.

This “fat lane” picture is one of my personal favourite Banksy photo’s. Apparently there is a new form of vandalism on the rise that you can’t be prosecuted for, this involves cleaning dirty walls to leave pictures or messages on them. Surely this has been being done for years with hilarious slogans being written on White Vans. My favourite White Van slogan is “I wish my wife was as dirty as this van”.

My last wally of the week was Drink Drive Wally.

Bank Holiday enthusiast and my mother Kit Graham forwarded a email earlier this week. The email urges people to go this site and vote for St Georges Day to be made into a bank holiday. The site claims that only 500,000 votes are needed for the government to take it seriously, I have no idea if this is true or not but think it’s worth a go.

St Georges day falls on April 23rd and is on a Monday this year. A few weeks ago I wrote about some traditional British activities you could do on St George’s day, here are some more:

• eat a kebab
• burn some food on a bbq
• wearing a football shirt and getting in a fight
• get sunburnt

The above suggestions do not have to be done in this order, why not try mix and matching activities for variation.

FACT: St Georges Day is named after George Foreman, it was created after he knocked out a Dragon and then proceeded to grill it on one of his lean, mean, grilling machines
