Extra Terrestrial Intelligence

It has been just over a year since I started this blog!

So I'd like to say thanks to those of you who have been with me right from the start. I'd also like to apologise for the rubbish I've been writing.

My Blogging Anniversary has inspired me to write informative posts about interesting, contraversial or intellectual subjects.

I will begin with a subject that I think covers all the criteria in one go.

>Alien Sightings<
I have never seen an alien. Unfortunately. I did once, however, tell my English teacher that I'd been abducted by aliens who had stolen my Homework as a sample of human intelligence, which was why I couldn't give it to her. I'm not sure she believed me, but she gave me an extension on the dead line. Which was sporting of her. Anyway, there are a lot people who claim to have seen, or been abducted by aliens, and they actually believe it happened to them.

Worryingly, one of these people is Neil Armstrong.

Here is a report on www.anomalous-images.com/astroufo.html

According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the Aliens have a base on the
Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon.
According to hitherto un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin
"Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo
11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light"
in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from
mission control for further information. Nothing more was heard.


The report goes on to give transcripts of conversations and interviews about the alleged alien sightings on the moon.

The following conversation took place as Apollo 11 were landing on the moon, according to former NASA employee, OttoBinder:

NASA:Whats there?!
Mission Control calling Apollo 11...

Apollo 11: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous!
OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it!
I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge!
They're on the Moon watching us!

A professor, who apparently wished to remain nameless, had the following discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium:

Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?

Armstrong: It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact is, we were warned off!(by the Aliens). There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city.

Professor: How do you mean "warned off"?

Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!...and menacing!
No, there is no question of a space station.

Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?

Armstrong: Naturally - NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it really was a quick scoop and back again.

Dr. Aleksandr Kasantsev claims that Buzz Aldrin took colour video footage of the Alien's UFOs from inside the space module, and then continued to film them after he and Armstrong left the module.

Armstrong said that the story is true, but said that he couldn't give any further information because the CIA was behind the cover up. Apparently they are worried that news of aliens might send earth off into a panic.

Whatever.

The Roads are Melting.

That's how hot it is.
36C and rising.

I had to go out and get more sun cream today, and the bus was like squeezing 10 grown men into a 1 man tent in the Sahara desert. In fact, it may have been worse. I like to call it the 'Inverse Lynx Effect'.

Someone had left a copy of the Evening Standard on the bus, so I picked it up and started reading it to try and take my mind off the heat. Apparently they sent their reporters around London on public transport yesterday to record the average temperature.
On a bus, it was 52C and on the Underground it was 47C. (That was after taking humidity into account).

So that made the bus feel even hotter.

And I'm goint into London on Friday, so I'll be using the underground. It's claustraphobic down there at the best of times. I'm definitely travelling off peak!


Avril Lavigne got married on Saturday. They had a traditional wedding on a private estate in California with a white dress and the wedding march and everything - which is unusual for 2 rock stars. (No...don't leave me comments saying that Avril and Sum41 aren't rock. Rock is a very broad term, and it does inculde them. So there.)

They both look so cute together. I really hope it lasts.

Their first dance was to 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls. I love that song, but I wouldn't pick it as my wedding song. I've already decided: it's going to be 'Have I told you lately?' by Van Morrison.




In contrast to the traditional wedding, the reception was quite gothic and had a red theme.

Everybody at the reception got a....erm....'guitar pick thing' with 'Deryck picked Avril' and 'Avril picked Deryck' written on the picks. Is it possible for something to be original and cheesy at the same time?!



Anyway, they make such a cute couple. They look so right together. When they got engaged, I thought she could to so much better than him, but now I think i was just being really shallow, because he seems really sweet and romantic.

I'm still trying to work out what was wrong with his shoes, but they really don't look right....

Oh, and she had 2 different dresses - one for the wedding and one for the reception.

....so....Italy won.

Not sure whether they deserved it. I was going for the French, because they are fairer than Italy. And I can speak French (ish...). I like Italian food. i like the Italian accent. But I also like the French accent.

And after that stupid Rooney-esque outburst from Zinedine Zidane (to go with his stupid name) I really didn't care who won.

What a way to go out for Zidane though. That was probably his last world cup, and he was arguably one of the best players in the tournament. The main thing he'll be remembered for now is that head-butting.

I bet he's in trouble now.... I mean, he's the captain! You'd never see becks acting like that.

Though we have John Terry now. And Steve McClaren. We're going doooooown.

I liked Sven and Dave. =(


I think these 2 French fans say it all....



This SO should have been ours.

Poo.

The Moody Blues

I just remembered something funny that brightened up this rainy afternoon for me:

Ages ago, me and my Dad were talking about 'Nights in White Satin' (the song by the Moody Blues) and my Mum said, "Why would someone write a song about knights wearing white satin?!"

haha

....OK. Maybe you had to be there, but try imagining knights wearing white satin, and you'll probably understand why I think it's so funny.


Right.

Well...

Erm....I'll be off then.....

World Cup.

Its taken me a few days to get over this denial and finally come to terms with the fact that we are out of the World Cup, and that Portugal have cheated us and snatched a trophy out of our hands AGAIN.

What was Ronaldo thinking?! He is meant to be friends with Rooney. They play on the same team. They both play forward. Doesn't that mean anything to him?!?!?!?!?!?!

Rooney was being tackled from both sides, which, OK, technically is not a foul, but the 2 Portuguese players were using foul moves to tackle him. Since when has a scissor tackle been allowed?! The ref should have blown the whistle before it got to the point where Rooney kicked the guy.
OK, Rooney shouldn't have done that, but he was frustrated. it was a bit silly to put him up front on his own - he had nobody to play with up there, which would get anyone a bit edgy. And then there was that potential goal that he screwed up. And Ronaldo had been winding him up for the whole game.
We all saw Ronaldo wink at the other scum bags on his bench as he walked away from the ref after getting Rooney sent off. So why wasn't he punished for it?!

Every time there was a slight brushing of bodies against each other, Ronaldo was running to the ref, telling tales and trying to get him to dish out yellow cards.
When Hargreaves complained once after the ref had been grossly unfair, he got a yellow card for it. Surely, that in itself is the sign of a biassed ref?!


It was also very upsetting when Becks got subbed. And the camera kept on giving us shots of him sitting on the side line in a lot of pain, with tears in his eyes as he watched his men losing what was going to be the last international game he captained.

In fact, there was a lot on emotional tension in that game that was finally all let out as the England boys sat on the pitch in pain and disbelief after they lost the game and were thrown out of the tournament.

We had a score to settle with them(literally!) from the Euro 04 Cup. Now we just have an even bigger score to settle with them. They are not a better team than us. In a fair game, we'd have beaten them.

Anyway, this World Cup has become a bit ridiculous. All the best teams are out now; England, Brazil, Germany.

I think I'll go for Italy now. Only because I like Italian food. Actually, France have Zidane. And I want france to win their next match because Portugal definitely do not deserve to get through to the final. If they do, it will just teach the world that it's OK to cheat and lie and deceive in order to get what you want - and thats not the kind of lesson we want the youth of today to learn.
