Monkey: The Olympics

This BBC advert for the Olympic games was created by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Alburn of ‘Gorillaz’ fame. I really want to see the opera based on this that they created:

Revolution Cycle…

… is an event being run by a friend of mine Fearghal O’Nuallain. Here’s how the website describes it:

This November, Simon Evans and Fearghal O’Nuallain will begin the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. Their unsupported expedition will cover over 30,000km, passing through 30 countries and some of the highest, lowest, driest, coldest, warmest and loneliest places on earth. In doing so, they will be promoting the positive contribution that cycling can make to mental health and the environment, raising €100,000 for Aware and highlighting climate change

To get a feel for what the guys will be doing here’s their flickr site and a sample of their videos:

Jushin Liger breaking his leg in a match. Watch from 1.45 on… Painful.

Have to love the GAA

Watching the Limerick Tipperary match, nice to see that violence is becoming a regular feature in the GAA. Spices things up like. Jackasses.
