Schimbarii she most definitely isn’t.
Her mum probably thinks she’s great marriage material.
Snapped from Pratech TV (FTA) at 1 degree West, 12643, vertical.
Shame. Couldn’t resist it though.

Yet again, satellite TV throws up a horror story all of its own making.
This one pretty much speaks for itself.
Pay particular attention to the Chucky-like Father Christmas character sat in front of her, while you ponder the kind of person who would ring this mad cow to help determine the course of the rest of their life.
I think it’s the cardigan that’s doing it for me.
Or that nice wing-back chair.

What’s this?
It’s great, is what it is!
Friday (14th November) saw the 10th anniversary of what has become a bit of a cult event held annually at Leeuwarden, Netherlands, organised by Mr. Domino (Robin Paul Weijers) and sponsored by those idiots an Endemol.
The point of the exercise? Well, if you want to argue the point that there really is a point, it is actually a serious world record attempt at toppling the greatest number of dominoes in one event. Plus some other lesser domino-related world record attempts.
OK, so it’s not justifiable in any respect, but it is a pretty damn good spectacle all the same! 
Stupid, you say?
Come off it.
Don’t try and tell me you’ve never had your childhood set of dominoes set up on the coffee table ready to march over a pile of your mums ‘womens’ magazines, ‘cos it just won’t wash. There is just something vaguely masochistic about watching something that took so very long to create be destroyed in a tiny fraction of that time.
Last years effort was an unmitigated disaster, with many of the ‘fields’ of dominoes failing to fall for a number of different reasons. Most of those reasons were directly attributable to the personal failings of previously ‘cool’ young people involved in what are known as ‘Builders Challenges’.
This is basically where some devious git decides that the final decision as to whether two months of painstaking setup work will be rewarded with total dominolition rests solely on the ability of two of the aforementioned kids (chosen at random) to bridge a gap in the domino line with some extra stones (yes, that’s what they’re called - I looked it up, alright?) in less than two minutes.
Given that the majority of the ‘engineers’ are spottier than the tools of their trade and tend to turn to jelly at the slightest hint of pressure, hope maybe wasn’t as high this year that a new record would be set.
As a spoiler, I’ll go right ahead and tell you that the 2008 participants flattened a total of 4,345,027 of the annoying little tokens - beating their previous world record of 4,079,381 set at D-Day 2006.
Domino Day is quite a big deal in Germany and Holland in particular, and lengthy live coverage of the event is usually shown on RTL television, free to air, on Astra 19.2E.
Recently, UK channel Five have also picked up on its popularity, and it’s now attracting an increasingly normal following here. Indeed Five showed an hour-long highlights show early on Saturday evening - some screen grabs of which are randomly included in this post as cheap window-dressing.
See if you can piece together any logical meaning to their haphazard arrangement.
A prize will be awarded to anyone with the time to waste on such an ultimately unfullfilling quest. An altogether more interesting prize will be awarded to whomesoever can name the annoying American bloke on the left. No prizes for naming the slaphead, obviously.

This film was on Algerian TV channel A3 (Hotbird 13E) on Friday night. Now whilst I can’t admit to staying in every Friday night to watch 60-year-old Algerian films, there were mitigating circumstances on this occasion. No, I’m not about to divulge what they were in case they don’t stand up to semi-intelligent analysis.
This flick was bad. I mean really bad. So bad that it was good, if you know what I mean. I didn’t understand a piggin’ word, so I had to try and piece together the storyline with the aid of just a Friday-night attitude and a few Peroni’s.
So here it is.
Anyone seen my fags? I've dropped my bloody fags!
Ah. A confession. I stuck them up my arse to stop the enemy finding them.
You bastard.
I'd rather die than let you stick that up my jacksy
Right, has everybody got a fag on now?
Nope. I'm always the one to miss out. Is it because of my hat?
Fcuk me...

OK, this isn’t the most wonderful way to install a satellite dish, but I think the signal locking problem might be more to do with the 50ft tree in front of the dish rather than the wobbly eight foot pole the dish is mounted on!
And quite what it was that inspired the guy to go straight out and video it for YouTube, I’ll never know.

The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) has announced the award in principle of the Classic Rock licence for Dublin and the commuter belt to Classic Rock Broadcasting Limited (trading as Radio Nova). The Board of the BCI considered three applications for the licence at yesterday’s meeting.
Commenting on the decision, Michael O’Keeffe, Chief Executive of the BCI said “the unanimous view of the board was that the quality of the application received from Radio Nova 100 was such that it warranted the award of the licence after phase one consideration. We now look forward to commencing contract negotiations with the successful applicant.”
The licence for this Classic Rock service is for a period of ten years and the award is subject to some clarifications with regard to the application, and the successful outcome of contract negotiations.

Bedroom TV is a waste of transponder space that (with the help of its website, bedroomtv.com) allows users to upload their bedroom-made music videos, so the world can see them lip sync badly to a load of rubbish music that nobody but them likes.
The majority of videos shown consist of either a slightly overweight and most definitely ugly girl trying her best to improve her fragile confidence, or a kid in a hoodie who looks like he’s about to stab you through your TV screen.
It’s covered in adverts and DOGs, and it costs just £1 to text in your worthless video choice from the seizure-inducing spinning playlist at the bottom of the screen.
All this said, it’s still better than Lily Allen’s programme. Check out Bedroom TV on Sky channel 376, if your curiosity gets the better of you.

BBC One aired an 8 hour marathon of live Six Nations rugby last Saturday, and all they got in return was 124 complaints from miserly old gits who don’t like rugby.
For any of the 124 fossils out there who happened to file a complaint:

Channel 4 bigwigs are planning to move this summer’s Big Brother to a graveyard slot, leaving the 9pm slot open for something that people actually watch.
Channel 4’s director of programmes, Julian Bellamy, confirmed that it was all about the ratings. “A couple of years ago Big Brother was such a ratings banker that it would be unthinkable to even discuss such a move. So this is a clear sign that the show’s glory days are behind it”, he coughed.
Big Brother Celebrity Hijack’s viewing figures currently hover around the 300,000-600,000 people mark, 98% of those being people who leave the TV on to keep their dog company at night.
