Derren Brown Lottery Prediction – How did he do it
Posted by: Ryan on: September 10, 2009
For those of you that don’t know (where have you been) Derren Brown predicted the lottery numbers last night. He had his chosen 6 balls in a stand which were permanently in shot while he watched the result live on TV.
You can explore many people’s theories on how he accomplished this over on Twitter. Including someone who thought he recoreded the whole thing in reverse, but how could that help. It just means he would have to have guessed the numbers right at the start of the show. Seems like a lot of effort.
I watched this last night and I was amazed.
I have now watched the video below about a million times. I agree with people commenting on YouTube that this might have been a very dissapointing split screen which in the video below gets swapped back to live streaming at around 5:40. You can see the ball furthest to the left moves up slightly, before this all the balls were perfectly in line.
I hope this is not the case. The balls are tightly packed in (I tried thinking of a less innuendotastic way of writing that, to no avail) to the holder, you can see that when he touches one at the end and another ball pops up. I’m hoping that over the 7 minutes or so that passed that one was forced up and it isn’t the old camera swap.
Anyway, how do you think Derren Brown predicted the lottery numbers?
Laura White leaves the X Factor wrongly?
Posted by: Ryan on: November 12, 2008
So for some reason Laura White leaving X Factor has been getting a stupid amount of publicity. Ok I admit there is no doubt she is a better singer than that Daniel chap, but is she really any good? I don’t think so. She does this really annoying thing where when she sings high she doesn’t use her natural voice, it’s like she forces it from her throat… like how I sing along with Freddy Mercury.
So yeah I think it was ok she left because I thought she was pretty pants anyway, and if Daniel has his fans of oldies who like average middle of the road crap then good on him. Do we really need people to be signing an online petition to get her back in. Tough tits I say.
What do you guys think. Was it an outrage Laura was Kicked out when Daniel is still there, not even in the bottom two? Let me know your thoughts.
Just to note, yes I do watch X Factor and I want Diana to win… she is lovely.

The old and the new Mr Muscle
So it has been a while since we last heard from Mr Muscle. He has been off my radar for about about a year or more now. Where has he been… the gym by the looks of him… either that or the cosmetic surgeon’s office.
Halloween Costume of Choice
Posted by: Ryan on: October 27, 2008
So it is that time of year again, where it is freakishly dark, even though it still early, this can mean but one thing… the ghosts and monsters are about to show their faces. It’s Halloween (almost). Everyone loves dressing up for parties, or trick or treating… depending on your age and today I want to know what is your Halloween costume of choice.
Shaggy is the one in the green t-shirt
Maybe you have a costume you always wear, or maybe you got invited to party at the last minute so you had to just go as that person you already look a bit like. Like maybe you can easily make yourself look like Shaggy not off of Mr Lova Lova mmm, but off of Scooby Doo because you already look like me… I mean him. By the way, what is with that new Scooby Doo where him and Shaggy aren’t completely useless… it’s wack.
Maybe you don’t look a bit like anyone… other than yourself and your mum maybe. So when you get invited at the last minute you have to do that thing where you gets some old (unused) toilet roll and wrap it around yourself like a proper rubbish mummy that looks even more rubbish after walking to the pub in the rain.
So yeah, what is your Halloween costume of choice and or what are you dressing up as this year. Feel free to link to pictures in my spooky Halloween special comment box.
Sexiest Bond Girls
Posted by: Ryan on: October 20, 2008
So in a follow up to my previous post about the sexiest superheroes of all time, and with the upcoming release of the new Bond film, I ask you who is the sexiest Bond girl of all time… and who the sexiest Bond is… to keep the female readership in the loop. Ok, onto business. The options for the best Bond girl ever are…
Ursula Andress aka Honey Ryder
Ursula Andress in Dr No wearing the infamous white bikini.
She has to be one of the favourites, the scene (pictured) of her in the white bikini from Dr. No has to be working in her favour. She is also the original first ever Bond girl, and her looks have really stood the test of time.

Hello and welcome to the megaphone’s new home. This blog is now on the wondrous maintenance free, warm, embracing bosom of wordpress.com.

Normal posting will resume in the next couple of days. So with peace and love… stop sending me fan-mail, I won’t sign it.

Should Dwayne Chambers run in the Beijing Olympics?

So it has been all over the news of late that Mr. Dwayne Chambers took drugs to make him run faster than the other people who run fast for a living. He has been punished for doing it, he is not allowed to run in the Beijing Olympics… or any Olympics until he is dead, at which point I imagine he will be pretty crap at running anyway.
New Theme, WordPress Hacked and Spammed Porn

First of all I would like to apologise to anyone who kindly subscribes to this blog, as it was hacked by some WordPress hacking scoundrels who hid hundreds of dirty filthy spam links to hardcore pornography in my posts for subscribers to see… I took the liberty of fully examining every single link, to make sure it definitely was porn… it was (thanks to Sam for pointing this out).
Anyway after numerous hours of browsing those dirty dirty links I finally took the time to solve the problem which was mainly caused by my lazy ass not updating my WordPress since version 2.1. I am now running a fully functioning version of 2.5 with no links to pornography… unless you count linking to Celeste’s sex fest of a blog. I really should have updated sooner, because WordPress 2.5 is ace… I highly recommend it.
I thought with a new version of WordPress I should change the look of this dated old sucker, so I have a theme that I have been working on, which is nowhere near finished, as you will see if you scroll down to the completely un-cssified footer. I have added some new features too, like the Polls in the sidebar which I’m hoping will be pretty good fun. I am also going to add a revolving header image to keep things fresh.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I spelled Archives wrong up top… and it was lovingly hand written damn my Welsh inability to spell.
So yes, I just thought I would update you on the goings on and keep looking out for further changes.
p.s. I was also accepted by TLA to advertise here, but I’m not sure whether t go for it due to the Google bashing I will receive… what do you guys think… should I do it? The hosting bill is wigga-da-wigga-da-wack.
What are you reading at the moment

Hello, kids. It has been a long time I know, but I’m back and I’m bigger than ever… I don’t know why, that just sounded right.
Anyway, I have got a lot to get off my chest, but let’s start with an easy one. Since the invention of the amazing boredom saver known as the TV people have been reading less and less. Along with the TV we have computer games, which are also an ace boredom killer. I suppose the internet has probably got people reading a bit, but that’s not proper reading… you’re reading this, but if anything it will probably make you less intelligent and less cultured.
I have to admit that I’m not a big reader. I get really into a book, but then I can’t be bothered reading it so I leave it for a bit… then when I go back to reading it I have forgotten what has happened so I have to start again and it’s a vicious cycle. The last book I actually read from start to finish was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, which admittedly is a kids book, but a very good one. I am currently reading Russel Brand’s autobiography, as Sarah thinks I have a man crush on him… I do not.
So do you read, what are you reading, do you think the next generation of kids will be silly because they play Halo instead of reading Dickens… let me know.
Big Love… Ryan
A list of Random Facts
Posted by: Ryan on: March 1, 2008
Coca-Cola is the UK’s top grocery brand.
M&M’s were created so as not to melt when American soldiers were in war in hot countries
To follow up on my post about world records, this guy Tomas Vogel has set the world record for unhooking bras… you’d think a woman would hold that record, he’s not even attractive. But somehow he put in enough practice to bust open 56 bras in 60 seconds… that is impressive. I reckon I could do one… if I tried really hard and was really lucky.
Another bra related stat is that Viking women were the first in the Western world to wear bras.
Add your own random facts below… thank you please.
And to throw in a topical one tonight I think Andy Abraham is going to win the prestigious career improving(?) right to represent their country in the Eurovision Song Contest… who do you think will take the UK crown?
EDIT: Added the “Hello Boys” ad… just for you Rhys.
