Remi’s a riot

Posted: May 19, 2009 in humour, internet

I’ve never come across French prankster Remi Gaillard until a friend shared this link on Facebook today but he’s a seriously funny guy. According to Wiki,  he first gained attention in the French media after performing a well-documented series of stunts, including a famous appearance disguised as a Lorient football player in the 2002 French Cup final  where he took part in the celebrations and even greeted French president Jacques Chirac.

He lives by the motto:”C’est en faisant n’importe quoi qu’on devient n’importe qui” (It’s by doing whatever that one becomes whoever…) and you can follow more of his escapades at NQTV on YouTube. Brilliant stuff.

all over bar the shouting?

Anyone want to bet that Arsenal rediscover their pride and form at Old Trafford on Saturday and that Hull, desperate for points and long overdue a win, pull off a last day shocker against United? No, thought not … especially as Liverpool will probably balls it up anyway.

recession bermuda-style

This cracked me up this morning in the Bermuda Sun’s 10-page report on the recession:

Ordinary man on the street Julian Grant perhaps summed it up best when he said: “We used to go on three or four cruises a year but it will only be a couple this year.”

Only in Bermuda! The rest of the world is facing mass unemployment, plummeting property values and bankruptcy but Bermuda is still in a world of its own. One big reality check coming right up. Fred Barritt’s column also put a smile on my face this morning. His helpful recession tips included using your AIG shares to tip grocery store packers.
