You are what you shirt (No. 20)

Andy’s commemorating arguably the best football referee ever - Italy’s Pierluigi Collina.

He’s also noting his uncanny resemblance to our very own Gary, the man who kickstarted this blog category back in January.

The similarity is only skin-deep however. Collina is famous for never being wrong about anything to do with football.

That’s it for another year

The Edinburgh International Festival for 2008 officially closed last night with the Bank of Scotland Fireworks Concert.

The weather, which had been dismal and damp all day long, mercifully took a turn for the better just before the gates to Princes Street Gardens opened.

The sychronisation of music to explosions was amazing.

Apparently they expended about 100,000 fireworks in about 50 minutes. At times it was the pyrotechnic equivalent of ramming a whole 200g bar of chocolate into your mouth at once.

Only it didn’t make you feel sick afterwards.

Rock Coders

August 29th, 2008

Here at Blonde we love to create rock solid code. That’s why Jon and Rob feel much more comfortable going about their daily craft in Guitar Hero mode

Get your rock on at Jam Legend

Next, Garry and his Rock Band foot-pedal Ubuntu iMac.

Take our finance director, no seriously take our finance director

Our finance director is a bit of a joker. (He really is).
However, rather than “Why so serious?“, his catchphrase based on this picture is “Why so glaikit?”

Happy birthday Nick!

Was Nicks 45th? yesterday, so Rachel made him a wee cake.

He ate it all in a oner, would have been nice to get a wee taste ah well. He also engulfed a sausage roll, a steak bake, 2 custard creams and a donut.

Happy returns to the ginger one.

:P

You are what you shirt (No. 18)

He’s at it again. At least he didn’t buy the shirt himself this time. This one was a gift from Scott, brought back from T in The Park.

In another break with tradition when it comes to Nick’s shirts, there may also be a grain of truth in this one. There is certainly a significant proportion of mums within the demographics of Facebook users.

Cultural exchange

August 18th, 2008

Just back in from a holiday in Mallorca. Spent most of the time playing with the kids in, or reading books by, the pool. However, the occasional venture into “civilisation” brought to light the usual mildly amusing cultural cross-overs that happen in a summer holiday melting pot like this. Who fairs better out of this exchange?

We gave them Tennent’s Lager, Sky Sports and Setanta.
