Clarke Duncan Twitter

0 Comments 23 March 2010

Every so often I type my name in to Google to see if I can find other Clarke Duncan’s but mostly I am hit with a wall of Michael Clarke Duncan the actor from the Green Mile etc. Today I done something a little different, I typed in “Clarke Duncan Twitter” to see what would come up.

In my version of Google here in the UK, I am 1st and 3rd and rightly so as I have the username @ClarkeDuncan on Twitter. And of course no search for my name no matter where it is would be complete without the actor Michael Clarke Duncan spamming up the majority of the listings also, even on Twitter

A more common thing to happen is to see “Duncan Clarke” or “Duncan Clark” but rarely do I see a “Clarke Duncan” that is not me but do get a far few “Clark Duncan” from all over the world.

So here is a couple of the more interesting “Clarke Duncan’s” on Twitter.

• @SuperHighTweet – This Clark Duncan only posts after tokin’
• @retrodata – This Duncan Clarke runs a data recovery service.
• @PastorDunc – This Duncan Clark is a Pastor of Elim Church in Coventry.
• @gduncanclark – And this Duncan Clark is the Executive Editor at National Post in Canada.

I am sure if you have an even more common name you will probably have a huge mixed bag of results. Type in your name and see what you get, and also what others see on Twitter if they use your name, you never know, you might be a hooker by another name! LOL

RM Skills Centre

0 Comments 18 March 2010

RM Skills Centre is a Roads and Construction Industry training centre based in Craigton in Glasgow.

The centre has been running for a number of years offering courses from Road Works Training to Confined Spaces Training.

What’s impressive is that RM Skills has remained an independent SQA Approved centre all this time when you consider the “competition” ranges from colleges to councils. The reason customers go to them is their expertise and the fact that many of the industry standard courses and new ones yet to be adopted originated from RM Skills, a true credit to the roads and construction industry and something to think about if you’re looking for nationally recognised qualifications.

Visit the RM Skills Centre website for more information or call them on 0141 810 5477, their address is RM Skills Centre Ltd. Block 7A, Barfillan Drive, Craigton Industrial Estate, Glasgow, G52 1BD.

Censor Bar Art – Music Videos

0 Comments 03 March 2010

Censor Bar Art, is basically Art that has censored itself in the name of art using censor boxes to be part of the experience. Because let’s face it in most countries (probably not France) if the same videos where to be show on TV (maybe not Channel 4 at night) they would have the censor bars added to protect the morals of our society! You can stop laughing now, but apparently we have morals and they are worth protecting so you sinners who dare to look at the naked human form best get your evil ways sorted right out!

If of course you fall in the majority that don’t have a problem with nudity in its rightful place (art school, the beach, strip clubs, under your clothes, etc) then you should enjoy these fun music videos. I have put them in the order of who I think done it 1st however something tells me them cheeky French chaps might have done this before the Toe Jam people, but I am feeling far too lazy to look it up on the Interwebs to find out.

Toe Jam by The BTA

Baby Baby Baby by Make The Girl Dance

Naked Girls Get Interrupted by Music Steve

The last one was I believe was used to promote Guitar Hero 5 (or was that a different one by the same person) and is clearly a parody of the Baby Baby Baby music video. If you enjoyed these Censor Art Music Video’s let me know what your favourite was or if you have seen any others post a comment. Right I am off to buy a couple of the black line things

Glee TV Show in the UK

0 Comments 02 February 2010

I threatened to do it on Twitter and here it is, my review of why you should be watching Glee.

I will start by saying it has already won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy so it’s not going to be totally crap however I know some people are turned off by the adverts for the show, no it’s not High School the Musical, it’s a little bit more grown up in an immature kind of way… Actually think about it as HSM meets Nip and Tuck (cause one of the guys behind Glee also done Nip and Tuck).

What is Glee

It’s basically a comedy that follows a Glee club at an American school, only this is an even bigger set of misfits and losers than most would normally have, so I am led to believe. The cool guy quarter back (Finn) is blackmailed into joining and as each week passes things get a little darker, the whole show is very non-PC.

If you are not laughing your arse off at Sue the cheerleaders coach and how Sue sees it then I am sorry for wasting your time. And when the football team is doing the Single Ladies Dance if your not laughing as well as cringing just a little then I am afraid there is no hope for you, why not turn on the News channel you boring old fart

Glee “Single Ladies” Football Team Dance

And let’s not forget about Rachel the lead singer in the Glee club, she kind of reminds me of one of my friends, not saying who but if you know her, you will know what I mean in a nice way of course It will be no surprise that the girl who plays the part has been on a few Broadway shows, in fact I was thinking she would be great in Les Misérables due to her version of “On My Own” and turns out she played a Young Cosette when she was 9 on Broadway and also played Eponine at the Hollywood Bowl production of Les Mis, so there you go.

Don’t Stop Believin’ is probally how most people who have not actually seen Glee know the show, it was no.2 the UK charts, not bad for a TV show cover.

The Cast

Lots of main roles in the Glee TV Show, stand out for me, for the guys it’s Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). For the girls it’s Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron), Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).

Guys Will Like Just as Much as Girls

Now guys I know what you’re thinking, musical comedy is not something you would enjoy, in fact some of you might even question your ‘manly ways’ should you ever be caught watching one. Well let me put your fears to rest with this little clip of Quinn Fabray (played by Dianna Agron) she is the head high school cheerleader and head of the celibacy club (who is up the duff) and this is her addition for the Glee Club .

Believe me after seeing that I was saying a little prayer

By doing this blog post I have become a Gleek! (Glee Geek) How very sad but hey, it’s a show worth watching and if enough people do it should carry on a few seasons for sure.
