It’s a fact that if you watch ‘Eastbound & Down’ your life will be better. Here is a look at the rise and fall of the shows star Kenny Powers. He has gone from being an all american hero of baseball to a supply PE teacher at his old school, and this is where we join the story.

The shows main star Kenny is played Danny McBride who you may recognise from his parts in Tropic Thunder, Hot Rod and Pineapple express, Will Ferrel also plays a great cameo roll as Ashley Schaeffer who is a local car dealership owner.

No idea the chat with this guy, he’s older than your average disc jockey, but he is probably the most enthusiastic DJ I’ve ever seen, well thats a lie, that accolade goes to Geoff M, so in that case here is the worlds 2nd most enthusiastic DJ….

There is very little interest in cricket this side of the border it has to be said, but here is a great piece of footage from a match in a big bowl, involving some guys. A streaker takes to the pitch for a laugh, probably wasn’t the best idea to do a fly by on a player who spent pre-season training with the Broncos……………..

You should never try and cheat…..

There are a few old sayings, like cheats never prosper, and quite often you come across instances of instant karma, well here a woman is demonstrating how a grape juicing contest works in a news bite. She says stop, but then has a few sneaky extra stomps to get an extra bit of juice, in other words she tries to cheat and win, well the karma gods aren’t up for it so they dish out a large serving of piping hot instant karma………

There’s a goose loose aboot this hoose…

Yeah I can do 20 pull ups with a 35kg weight on my waist, I can do a hundred press ups with a 15kg weight on my back. That is nothing, watch this absolute tank in action……….

I love it when a plan comes together…….

This is maybe more a post for the boys, rather than the girls. Most of us remember loving the A-team as wee kids but not sure why. I’ve watched a few episodes recently and it’s good, but it’s just good. This film version starts at the very begining of the story of the A-Team, Vietnam has been swapped for Iraq as the war they have been fighting in. The story starts with them leading a mission to recover some mint plates that can be used to print $100 bills, being double crossed, framed, double crossed, building some ace stuff out of nothing and ends up in them becoming the soldiers of fortune that you turn to when no one else can help. This is a great action movie and a definate must see when it hits cinemas here on 30th July.
