It'd be easy to get the impression from all those "dash-cam" videos on YouTube that all Russian drivers are totally insane and the roads are just one horrific accident or near death experience after another, so this compilation is a nice antidote to all that. It'll go some way to restoring your faith in Russian humanity.

People often say about dramatic foorage that "it's like something out of a movie" and this is one of those things. Awful to think that there were seven people onboard this plane.

... this was the amazing, touching, incredible reaction to the passage of marriage equality legislation in New Zealand's parliament last night. Wonderful.

Last night New Zealand became the twelfth country in the world to legislate for same sex marriage and Maurice Williamson MP delivered this great, entertaining speech just before the new law was passed. Watch it.

You might remember Tony Abbott from that time a while back when the Australian PM Julia Gillard gave him a verbal smack-down for being a sexist asshole. Well, he's still an asshole. And a weird, childish one at that it would appear.

Here's a clip of entertaining nutcase Celine duetting in Mandarin on Chinese TV. It's hard to know on the clip for sure, but I suspect she's lip-syncing to her own vocal here, but even so, fair play to her. Of course Dolly only knows what it sounds like to a Mandarin speaker (any Chinese readers?) but the audience certainly seem impressed. Well, they do when she first starts and there's a "spontaneous" bust of applause (assuming there isn't a platoon from the People's Liberation Army behind them with bayonettes!), though at the end when the camera cuts to the aged, grumpy looking crowd they seem decidedly less impressed!
Though all that is really an aside. The real star of this clip is what Celine's duet partner, sporano Song Zuying, is wearing. The one sleeve/wing thing is hot!

I have had a long, unedifying, and complicated relationship with the dreaded weed. I've been a smoker more often than a non-smoker for the past twenty five years or so. Oh I've had good long periods of non-smoking, and there have been times when I'd have laughed at you if you'd suggested I'd ever smoke again. However I've learned not to be so smug. The last time I ran the marathon I met a friend on the street fifteen minutes after crossing the finish line and asked him for a cigarette. I smoked for the next year. My last bout with smoking was very recent. When I was in Australia in November I ended up smoking again - something to do with sunshine and hot weather and holidays. I never want to smoke more than when relaxing in the sun with a glass of crisp white wine. (what's that about?) And I smoked like a bleedin' squddie till Christmas. Thankfully, giving up (again!) has been easy - perhaps I wasn't back smoking long enough to be completely re-enslaved - but like I said, I've learned not to be too smug. I'm only ever one cigarette away from being a smoker. And I am a great smoker! I mean, I am an all or nothing kind of smoker. Either I'm completely a non-smoker, or I'm smoking thirty a day. There is no middle ground, part-time, only-when-I'm-out, just-at-weekends smoking for me. I'm either not smoking, or I'm smoking at breakfast. And yet I still look this good. Amazing, right?
Anyway, here's a really simple and effective anti-smoking ad from Thailand.
(thanks Ally)
