Oh man, I’ve been saving up randoms for weeks now, I hope you’re ready! This is the seasonal edition…
1. Did you get new techy toys for Christmas? New phones? New tablets? Are you addicted to them yet? Maybe so addicted that you’d walk off a pier while you checked into Facebook?! That’s exactly what a Taiwanese tourist did in Melbourne just before Christmas! Police rescued her 20 minutes later. Let’s hope Santa bought her a new phone…
2. Maybe instead of walking off a pier you were playing one of the 150 billion games of Candy Crush Saga played last year o.O 500 million people have downloaded it, and in the US it is estimated that it makes £550,000 per DAY! I’m totally in the wrong industry lol
3. Were you playing any games with your family over the holidays? Maybe a little hide and seek? But did any of you find yourself naked in a washing machine? And did you then get stuck?! Well one prospective Romeo, again from Melbourne (they must attract all the nutters there ;o) ) did, meaning the firemen had to come and release him. Well I suppose it made a nice change for them…
4. At the start of the new year, you were probably dreaming of the year ahead and what might happen. Did any of you manage to spark a gold rush though? Last October an Indian man’s dream caused a gold rush in Uttar Pradesh after he saw a long dead king tell him that 1,000 tonnes of gold were buried under his old fort. After 4 weeks of digging the government found nothing, but undeterred, the man himself is beavering away, determined to find it!
5. Perhaps you decided that the new year was the perfect time to find your new partner (preferably not one that likes to hang out in washing machines) If you did, check out this list of cliches found on online dating profiles, and what they really mean, as compiled by the Beeb. Oh, and then look at the follow up of ones that irritate readers the most!
Linking up again with my fellow Randomeers:
The dating article are hilarious, so glad im married!! Off now to create a ridiculous and addictive game app…
I'm laughing at washing machine man! It's been so hot in Melbourne may be was just trying to cool down, next time he'll know to sit in a fridge. I just don't get candy crush. I got caught up reading the list of dating no nos. I like laughing!
so entertaining, as usual!!! I just love all the randomness you come up with.
Somehow walking off a pier seems even worse than the washing machine incident -and confirms my aversion to facebook (even tho' I do suspect I should be using it!). Excellent randomness. Juliex
I have no idea what Candy Crush is but it looks like it may be a version of Tetris? Am I close?!! (I know I'm showing my age!)
Excellent – but I do like staying in with a DVD!!!
Candy Crush saga does my head in …’nuff said.
Yep- Melburnians are a weird lot. We Adelaideians are much more sedate and sensible (There is a huge rivalry between Melbourne and Adelaide- they pinched our grand prix and we have never forgiven them for it)
Im so pleased I dont have to contend with the singles scene. If I wasn’t married Im sure I’d stay single for life….
Never touched candy crush and never will. Walking off a pier in Melbourne, I hope it was a warm day.
Dating…..ugh!
BRILLIANT! You've me nearly crying with laughter here.
Yeah, upgraded my phone at New Year and have since been accused of turning into a teenager…could be worse eh?
Haha excellent edition! I'm a guilty candy crusher, it gets me through work…
Naked in a washing machine?!? Yikes 🙂
I never did get candy crush saga. I have other fb game addictions. Damn those pets that always need me to rescue them!
Love it! :o)
Love the dating article!!
Bahaha, literally just switched over from Candy Crush to read this blog!
Very entertaining as always! One if Lisa's flat mates has a party trick of climbing into a washing machine – a uk front loader – I can honestly say it's not some thing I've ever wanted to try!
Naked in a washing machine – Yuck!
Thanks for the fun! I love this random stuff.
As a South Australian, fierce rivals of the Melbournians, I would say yes, the nutters live there! Oops, my brother does nowadays.
