http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dadPWhEhVk

The link shows a short clip, that the create has been offered a £18.6m contract deal to work for Hollywood!
The short film is 4 mins 48 secs long and cost under £200 to make it.

Lucky Some hey!

This is not Hollywood!

The link above is of student riots in London. When I first watched the clip, I was stunned at the the amount of destruction caused in the heart of London.  It does look like something out of a Hollywood movie.  In the clip, you can see how the police are struggling to take back control and the different methods in which are being used to meet the students.

What is more, I was watching the news with my Dad, were it was being reported that Prince Charles and Camilla came under attack whilst in their car and was actually "poked" with a stick by a protester.  The commissioner of Metropolitan Police has since apologised and said to quit his position if the Royals so felt so.

Protesting against uni fees is one thing, but urinating on Winston Churchill is a step too far.

Permanent markers stop you from dying! (Works only if your married)

The link below is to a Indian advertisement for permanent markers.  Set in a village, a woman sits at her dying husbands side as he slow pass onto the other side...so we think...

In India, a woman wears a red spot on her forehead to show that she is married.  In this short advert, we see the man's family rubbing at this red spot on his wife's head.  But it does not clear, indicating that the man is not dead and she is still a wife.  As the man regains consciousness, we see a flash back by were he refuses to put the red powered on her forehead, but instead uses a marker!  Rather funny yet clever twist.

New Flood Warning Codes

A new set of flood warning signs has been created to make it easier for people to understand.

http://www.southyorkshireemergencies.co.uk/Assets/Flood%20Warning%20Improvement%20Information_tcm13-74829.pdf

The above is a link to the new warnings that have clear distinction between them all, unlike the old warning that were designed from one shade of red.  http://www.tandridge.gov.uk/faq/faq.htm?mode=20&pk_faq=156

The new warning logos tick all the right boxes, in terms of being easy to read and understand, having a simple yet effective design and using the correct colours to convey whether a serious warning or just to alert the locals.

It was been taken well, and understood a lot better than the previous attempt.
