The Megaphone : A Debate Blog

I can’t believe it, according to this article (and many more) The Gladiators is making a comeback. I used to love The Gladiators. Although I was a scrawny child I knew I could do better than those pathetic contenders… they couldn’t even do the Travelator, come on!

When I was at school, me and my friends always used to argue who was the hottest out of Jet and Lightning. There was a definite divide in opinions between the people who (wrongly) thought Lightning was hotter than Jet and (correctly) visa-versa.

When I think about it, it is probably wrong to fancy girls who really could kick the crap out of you, but when you are as weak as me, that is just a fact of life you have to get used to.

So which Gladiator did you used to fancy? If any, maybe you hated them all… although no one can deny that Wolf was a handsome devil wasn’t he?

I love Lego. It brings back many happy memories of a budding creative Ryan as a child building away into the wee small hours.

So to celebrate this momentous occasion I thought I would share the absolutely unbelievably good Michel Gondry music video for the White Stripes song Fell in Love With a Girl, enjoy…

Oh and contrary to what Jack White might have you believe in videos like this, there is absolutely no CGI* … it is all pure lego and childlike genius of my hero Michel Gondry.

* Michel Gondry said so in his DVD

So it has been a while since my last post. The break has done me some good. I was starting to feel like this blog was taking over my life. In conversations with people instead of chatting away I was thinking ooooh I could blog about that and not paying attention. So anyway, I felt like I needed a break to get the blog/life balance back on track. This T-shit sums up how I was feeling.

So anyway, onto business. You must have seen all the Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Chicken Run programme, or seen him on the news or whatever. He is also getting Senior Oliver involved, which pretty much means it is going to become the biggest thing on the political agenda before too long.

So what did you guys think? Do battery chickens have a good enough life, or is it free range all the way for you? Maybe battery chickens lives could be improved a little bit and then they would still be cheap, but not abused.

I have always bought free range eggs, I have now vowed never to get another battery chicken. It is no life for a chicken. I think if you can’t afford to buy a normal (free range) chicken that has lived a normal life that every chicken should have the right to live, then maybe that should mean you can’t afford to buy a chicken full stop. This is just my opinion - What are your thoughts?

Big Love
