I was traveling back to Southend from London a while back and was on my way to the station. I whipped out my iPhone and went onto the National Rail application to check times and if there are any delays (this app really is worth the £5 in saving you trouble with delays, cancellations etc.). I found this:

Before you begin thinking, no it ain’t an edited picture or me trying to be funny. That is genuinely what was the output on the screen and what made me giggle quietly to myself. So missing 5 stations due to unforeseen events (actually, even Fenchurch Street is cancelled) will save 13 hours on a line with only two tracks with many services running within those 13 hours so it would have to wait for the earlier trains to actually get to their destinations? I see! Then it goes from being early to being 15 hours late. I think it’s worth some chuckling at

Disclaimer: Obviously it’s a simple error of the time stamp on West Horndon being set to 00:00

Seems I haven’t blogged for around 150 years, poor blog. First post of this fantastic new year of 2010 will be about an advert, you read correctly, I am writing about a TV advert! I’m sure you have seen this around on channels and/or on Youtube, if not, then here is a view:

It really is great to watch, to see the way they have used object combinations and transformation, along with much computer power, to present audiences with powerful media. Although some may argue it is not as pointless as the advert for SellCar-UK.com, which contains people dressed up as penguins. Of course, penguins have a lot to do with selling your car. Please note, I am aware that no animals were harmed in the making of the video.

In the end though, who can ever hope to beat the advert for WeBuyAnyCar.com? Any takers on betting with me for how long it will take the track to reach the music charts? The advert they created is just pure bliss in the realms of random and stupidity.

Okay, so you are more than aware of these sites that sell gold, accounts, items and whatnot for real hard earned cash (if you have no idea what I’m on about, a simple search on Google for Runescape gold will put you in the right direction). This is, of course, against RuneScape rules and isn’t allowed. To top that off, they are normally scams ran by kids or young teenagers that want a little bit of cash. In fact, I believe there are some adults carrying this out for definite, although spelling and grammar on most of these websites is terribly amusing.

If you do buy services from these websites and they do hold out to their word, then good for you. If you have been taken for a mug and have lost money or have had your account banned, then unlucky. You shouldn’t try and cheat other players in a game by illegally purchasing skill training, gold or items.
