Spiderman, Lyme Regis and Jedward - A Multi-blog...


Jyothi Rai is India's "spiderman". He gets this name naturally because he can scale buildings very quickly, even with a small break dance in the middle! Pretty swish.

Check this out:



This is what I'm doing with my life at the moment- simply browsing on youtube like some kind of audio/visual pervert. As for my life recently it's been interesting to say the least. Friday night saw the collapse of Lyme Regis car park, and after spotting the pictures on a well-known social networking site (...) myself and two mates headed down to take a peek. We interviewed people and firemen etc being proper little journalists and then headed back to write it up and ring everybody. Turns out we broke the story to the BBC, ITV and the Echo so good times on that front! We had to be up at 9am at Lyme Regis the next morning to be filmed about it though. Bad, bad times on that front. People are beginning to get worried about the safety of Lyme Regis itself, and so they should really. People have been reporting pan-fires that didn't set the fire alarms off, faulty fire panels and gaps in the stairway, creating a huge wind tunnel that would feed a fire like a Big Mac. Not meaning to scare anybody who might be reading this and lives there of course! I don't envy you though.

So I found myself in the newsroom again on Saturday night, finishing off the law essay I should have done Friday night, just in time to catch Edward nearly stack it jumping through paper and Calvin Harris up-stage them. What an excellent end to their X-factor run. Except they're still going. I believe ITV picked up on the success of John Sergeant and his rubbish dancing getting viewers, as did Simon Cowell who in the words of Freddie Harrisson "values ratings over talent". Well said. X-factor unsurprisingly will be swamped with essentially tacky acts for next year (if they get that lucky) and Simon will regret ever meeting the Irish ladyboys. As for Jedi-Jedward, the longer they muck around wasting people's time and kicking out perfectly good acts the better- more people I can blitzkreig for voting to keep them in once I obtain world domination status. And good on Calvin, he may have made a sharpish exit after that stunt, but god damn it was funny. And when he comes on, you know you're pretty crap. Just leave.
