Forget people playing the theme tune to Super Mario Bros. on their cheeks, this is the kind of geeky thing that YouTube was made for…

Or even better (and god, how good is this?)…

It’s nowhere near Christmas, I know. But a good friend of us last year sent us a video that was created on a slow Christmas Day with some Quality Street and a dash of stop motion.

It’s rather good, so worthy of sharing.

Or rather my brother-in-law, with another cannot-fail prize-winning idea…

He has posted his brilliant suggestion for a new flavour of crisps onto the Walkers competition website and needs your vote to get it brought to the attention of the judges.

It’ll only take 30 seconds so please, if you can, visit here:

and give it a good rating. I know Kippers and Breakfast Marmalade isn’t everyone’s idea of taste heaven – but with Heston Blumenthal on the panel of judges I think he’s in with a chance!

And I’ve been awake since 3am.

Don’t know why. But I can’t sleep.

I’ve been like this for over a week with only a few nights where I’ve slept through. But tonight is the worse as other nights I’ve been able to get back to sleep – finally. It’s also helped that on the other nights I’ve been working the late shift at work so have been able to get up later. Naturally, that’s not the case today.

Thankfully I’ve not got a load of friends and family coming over tonight where we intend to sit and watch movies until gone midnight… Oh. Bugger.
