Was I right to skip IACGMOOH?

Katie-Price-crop4So looks like I was right to decide not to watch this years I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here because as I predicted it has become The Katie Price Show – as I said to my mum, if I wanted to watch The Katie Price Show it’s on ITV2 constantly, so I would watch that.

It’s boring.

Despite the fact I don’t like her and know it will result in people feeling sorry for her, it’s boring having the same person do the trials each night. Yet the public vote this way every year – Fashanu, Jan Leeming, Natalie Appleton etc etc.

There are now rumours that her new boyfriend is heading into the jungle to propose to her as well, jeez.

Doesn’t sound like I am missing much anyway, usually everyone is talking about the show but I have not heard much this year so far – so I imagine it’s probably pretty dull.

Someone let me know when she’s outta there.

 

Powermat to the rescue!

wiresIf you are any thing like me and every other 20-something-year-old, you probably have a ridiculous amount of electronic devices, and therefore a ridiculous amount of cables, wires and chargers!

At the moment sitting on my desk I have chargers for three phones, ipod, nintendo ds, rechargeable batteries, digital camera and my wireless headphones. I try to keep them all nice and tidy in a little plastic box, but of course it doesn’t work out like that and they end up strewn all over the place – causing the neat freak in me to cry a little inside!

Powermat It seems like I may have just discovered the perfect solution though in a product called Powermat. As the name suggests it’s simply a mat that will charge various popular gadgets such as your DS, iphone or blackberry – all without wires and the need to keep swapping chargers. The mats come in various sizes for use either at home or on the go and can charge as many as four items at a time, simply by placing them on it!

Erm, bliss.

Why didn’t I know this product existed before now?

I think with Christmas on the way and gadget loving relatives galore I am going to have a pretty easy time when it comes to buying gifts this year :)

The name’s Bond…

james_bond_skiingEver noticed that James Bond likes to Ski? Probably not as it’s a bit of a random fact, but as someone who grew up on James Bond movies thanks to my Dad it is something that I noticed because I always seemed to come away from watching them wanting to look up and book myself ski holidays despite previously having no interest in them. I believe we’ve seen James Bond skiing, usually away from gun wielding criminals, in at least 5 of the films – including the first Bond film I ever watched way back when I was just 5 years old – A View to a Kill. Also in my all time favourite Bond film – The World is Not Enough.

I was just thinking the other day that it’s been a while since a Bond movie came out and went to see what was coming next, and I realised I have not actually seen the last two! That would definitely explain why it seems like it has been a while as the last one I saw was Die Another Day in 2002. I have not even seen Daniel Craig in action yet.

Looks like I know what my plans for next weekend are, James Bond catch up time. Awesome :)

 

Pyramids for my 30th birthday?

pyramids_egypt-300x225We’ve been considering heading to somewhere in Europe in March for my 30th birthday, maybe France, maybe Greece – but I was just looking at all inclusive Egypt trips and actually it works out just as cheap if not cheaper than staying in Europe.

I would much prefer that to be honest, it seems a lot more exotic and special to say you spent your 30th in Egypt than in Kos or Calais!

Egypt is becoming a really popular destination for us Brits because of the prices and the vast array of things to do there for tourists.

Now I just need to work on convincing my other half, he’s not really the adventurous type!

 

Green with envy!

australia-sydney-opera-houseI just found out through facebook that one of my old friends is off travelling for six months around Australia – colour me jealous – you all know by now I love Australia and it is my dream to visit even for a few days, nevermind six months. They are going without a plan though, which I couldn’t do – they are just going to get there, find somewhere to stay for the night and then look for the best Car Rental Prices and start driving.

She’s a braver woman than I, that is for sure. If it were me I would already have the route planned, every place we were going to stay and all the best prices on car rentals!

 

So long orange team

I just got around to watching last weeks The Biggest Loser USA, and by last weeks I mean the one from Tuesday the 10th – I got a little behind, ooops.

I liked the red line but I don’t like that it resulted in Dan going home, he’s one of the least objectionable of the bunch. But he has been there twice and had his chance, so I guess it was the fairest thing.

Shay_Biggest_LoserI am glad that Shay went home as her dummy spit during the challenge was pathetic, and she seemed to have the attitude that she deserved and needed to be there more than any one else. Don’t get me wrong, I wish her no ill and I hope she goes on to lose the weight she wants to – I just didn’t like her attitude!

Interestingly, I don’t know if it was just the copy I had or if they didn’t show it full stop – but they didn’t do an update on her at the end as they usually do with contestants, hmm.

Roll on the next episode :)

 

Faster, Faster, Make it go faster!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ultra60smallI was just reading about the charter ultra fast 60 service that is currently being rolled out across America – green with envy doesn’t even come close to explaining how I feel about it.

My fiance already gets his Internet at twice the speed I do even though we are on the same service and that drives me crazy, so the idea that others are getting it probably 100 times faster makes me almost lose the plot.

As you know by now I watch a lot of TV shows online, if it wasn’t for torrents and streaming sites I wouldn’t get to watch three of my favourite TV shows – Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Biggest Loser Australia. The thing is my upload speed especially is so shoddy that I can’t do two things at once, if I am uploading anything such as videos to youtube or seeding torrents I can’t stream at all – So I can’t just decide I want to stream something and do it there and then, I have to wait until I know my computer won’t be busy doing other things!

My Internet life would be a lot faster with 60mb speeds, therefore buying me extra ‘real life’ time – which I would then probably use to watch more TV hehe.

No I’m A Celeb for me this year…

Like everyone else I had heard the rumours of the monster that is Jordan heading back into the celebrity jungle and I groaned – the only saving grace being that she was going to be a late entrant so I could at least watch the show for a week or so first, and then make a decision based on how much I was enjoying it, as to if I was going to continue or not.

So to say I was disapointed at the end of tonights show when they announced she’d be arriving tomorrow would be an understatement.

Now I can’t watch it at all and she’ll be in the show for at least 2 weeks (unless she gets bit by a poisionous snake, please please please please please) as that’s when people start getting voted out.

Katie-Price-crop4In the history of reality television, 100s of shows and 1000s of contestants there have only been three people I have had actual genuine feelings of hate towards and she’s one of them – the thing is aside from being the attention seeking twit that she is, she is also an emplyee of ITV who has been paid £350k to appear – anyone who doesn’t realise she’s going to get the worlds most positive edit and always be shown in a good light is a mug.

I’d bet my house right now that by the end of the show, she’ll have grown leaps and bounds in popularity and every one will have decided ‘Aww, she’s not that bad afterall!’

I won’t be part of it.

 

I wonder if they have penis jewelry down there?

vivieenewestwoodpenispendantAm I the only one who sees people covered in piercings and tattoos on reality shows, such as Lydia from Big Brother USA and instantly wonders if they have any of their private bits pierced?

“I wonder if they have Penis Jewelry down there”

It’s the first place my mind goes. I don’t know why
