Today I walked into a local bank branch, filled out a deposit slip and actually spoke to someone behind the counter. It was like this with much less arse. The last time I did this the world had yet to hear someone was sorry for party rocking and Gangnam Style was more likely an obscure porn genre than some overdone dance move.. Why has it been so long between bank visits? Because obviously my financial institution has decided that the only time I should ever set foot in the premises is is when all t...
So we've been watching a lot of Arrow in Casa de Almigo as of late. And after watching many an episode of Oliver Queen fighting crime and getting buffer by each episode, I've made the startling discovery of early 2013: I would make a rubbish sidekick... The look thing: Apparently you have to have the chiselled look of being able to juggle side by side fridges all day with ease before you throw on a green hood and black eyeliner to fight crime. Currently I have the look of the bloke who replaces the plas...
If you've never experienced the glory of a well done musical mashup before, allow me to give you a crash course on some awesome song mixes.(Seriously, after a visit to Bootie Blog, you'll never listen to music the same way again!) Loves me some Bootie!But why stop there? Because the blending of songs and various spirits found in strangers liquor cabinets is a personal favorite past time of mine, lets take a couple of awesome shows (or semi-awesome or borderline awful really depending on your viewing ...
A good friend of mine broke the news to me over twitter recently that a show I watched all of two episodes of was on its way back. Yep, faster than I could say 'Wait, someone other than me remembers this thing?' we were conversing back and forth about The Mole: Where a group of contestants had to work out which of them was actually the network planted saboteur before one of them got eliminated each week (hint: it always seemed to be the old one but never was)Well ever faster than you can script a hashtag...
I've had an epiphany today - most of the status updates in my Facebook news feed are simply godawful and simply don't deserve their spot on my all important Facebook real estate. See?What a waste of time that was even copying and pasting that.God only knows why it's taken me only, I dunno, a billion years to figure this amazing piece of info but I'm all over it now. Therefore I have dubbed today Facebook Dump truck day, where all the rubbish statuses get a visit from myself, the invisible dump truck a...
The txt came through a couple of weeks ago - would I be able to drive a limo for a wedding for a few hours? It'd be a simple job around town and the limo was ready to go when I was.In need of both adventure and cash (and not in that order), I jumped at the chance. Of course once sending the reply, remembering suddenly that I knew four fifths of nothing about limo driving... Brap?These are my notes from the day.2:20PM Suited and booted, I make my way to limo base HQ, otherwise known as one of the local...
Greetings electricity and gas companies of Australia (and yes this includes you Energy Australia, Victoria Energy, Powercor, Hamster Wheel energy, Simply Energy, Bolivian Energy and any and all energy companies I've forgotten the name of on this beautiful continent I call home),Consider yourselves on notice.I'm mashing fist to keyboard on this muggy day to inform you there's a practice that I'm 99% sure all of you are guilty of that should cease immediately. Because rather than getting me excited about d...
Welcome to theinauguralcan't be stuffed list here at Almigo's Adventures - Aka those who cannot give a fig, those who won't do anything, the incredibly lazy aka we're not sure why you're even on this TV taking up space to begin with. I've been watching a lot of random TV recently and the list of those taking up needless space is really starting to form itself... Close approximation of my placeTODD HOFFMAN - Gold Rush I bet someone else mined that...Todd runs the mining operation at Gold Rush as the...
Fifty Shades of Grey hey? Amazing book apparently if you like your reading with a bit of spice and a touch of whipping. But I bet you've never read these amazing facts about the raunchy trilogy though... Riveting! 1. The start of 50 Shades of Grey doesn’t start with the words ‘In the beginning God made Earth…’ 2. 50 Shades of Grey is not actually a catalogue of Earl Grey Teas. Teas don’t usually have shades. 3. 50 Shades of Grey has not actually made the colour Grey any more exciting. Grey is grey ...
If you're not currently in Australia today you'll probably be blissfully aware that we're all melting like an attack of Holy Water on Paris Hilton.It's 8000 degrees celciheight (that hot) in the shade today and aside from the added effect that your tires grip to the road better than ever due to the fact they now have more adhesion than superglue, it's a tad on the hot side.Of course round these parts, two things happen when the sun has a fever: I exercise and people whinge a lot on Facebook. Thankfully t...
