Donkey Konga

Donkey Konga

I, a 27-year-old fat bloke, spent a good half-hour tonight in Circuit City, shamelessly bopping and clapping along with Donkey Konga. It's bluddy ACE.

I’ll bet $10 on the Sox in Game 6.

When good things go American

See NBC‘s pilot for the US version of The Office. I know the original too well, so I’m not quite sure what I make of it.

UPDATE: (28-Jan-2005) NBC have asked me to take down the video. I’ve complied. Sorry.
