Rangers Riots Manchester 2008

2 Comments 15 May 2008

The Rangers Riots in Manchester, here is the video’s from CCTV and people’s mobile phones uploaded to Youtube, I am sure more will be uploaded over the coming days but it gives you an idea what happened when the Boys in Blue attacked the Boys in Blue. Never seen anything like it, Rangers “fans” attacking Rangers fans and one Police Officer gets a kick-in as he foolishly stays behind to take the mob on single handed, you can see the CCTV footage you probably seen on TV and then a guy out of his flat filming it from the other side as you clearly see a Rangers fan helping the Officer get out the area dragging him down the street.

Simple fact is Glasgow and Manchester is so close together it made the trip down easy for the Neds and with the big screen failing it gave them all they needed to kick off mini-riots, however some of the footage shows Police Officers randomly giving fans who are standing still doing nothing the odd kick-in, think the Police had their own mini-group of trouble making Neds in their ranks getting paid to dish out some random violence. Wonder how many of the kids in the crowd got injured, it’s a shame as well as it all started off looking like a great day out on the TV.

  

  

  

  

  

  

Will add more video’s if I find any decent quality videos.

Music

Sigur Ros, Strangely Good Music

No Comments 15 May 2008

I am sitting here listening to a few tracks from my Sigur Ros collection and I was wondering how many people actually know who they are? Well probably not that many, indeed my wife doesn’t like the music. However believe it or not if you live in the UK you will have heard music from Sigur Ros as they some of the Staralfur track from the album Agaetis Byrjun has been used by the BBC in the “reinforcing the brand” commercials you see between BBC programs. Anyway worth checking out if you are into all kinds of music but definitely avoid if you not got an open mind when it comes to experiencing different types and styles of music as this stuff is very different from anything main stream.

Note: I have not used the Icelandic letters as it will take ages looking around the character map for them.

World of Warcraft

WoW Patch Notes 2.4.2

No Comments 14 May 2008

A new patch was released for World of Warcraft, mostly minor changes to sort a few issues out, however most notable additions include “New Teleport/Portal to Theramore and Teleport/Portal:Stonard spells for Mages” and the Arcane orbs in the Void Reaver fight now show in the combat log, so add-on’s will once again work for this encounter in The Eye. You can view the full patch notes for 2.4.2 at the official site.

Internet

Zen Internet Provider

No Comments 14 May 2008

Well that’s me finally switched away from Nildram to Zen Internet as my ADSL provider. Have been with Nildram for many years but the signal of their down fail happened many moons back when the service would have problems connecting to the World of Warcraft servers in France, but in more recent times they got bought over by Pipex and they in turn are owned by Tiscali and that’s when some of the more annoying issues started to appear, basically they switched all the Nildram customer on to the Pipex network and what basically this meant was that you where paying top dollar for a second rate service, you know the same cheapo service that your average person who has no clue about Internet providers would expect accept you would be paying pro-consumer prices and that was why I finally made the move to Zen Internet. Zen was on my short list many years ago when first picking an ADSL provider but at the time Nildram was who I went for, so here is hoping Zen works out as there is very few good providers left, so far so good!
