Fire & Ice Acrobatic Performance Video

An acrobatic fire and ice dance performance at the at 2013 CCTV Spring Festival Gala that is mesmerise to watch. The sheer human strength, the unbelievable skill, grace and agility of these two performers is truly incredible and most amazing that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you wonder all through the whole act how could all that possible. I like very much the visual effects that accompany the performance as well, as I think it adds to the whole Fire and Ice Dance theme. And I am very, very sure you will enjoy it enormously.

Tim Vine - In The Style Of Tommy Cooper

Tim Vine has written a great deal of his own comic material, unfortunately some of Tim's jokes have been mistaken for Coooperisms. In fact, Tim is a fine stand-up comedian in his own right, and in 1995 he won the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival. Tim's career has blossomed and British readers may have seen him compère TV shows such as Whittle (Channel 5), Fluke (Channel 4) and Housemates (BBC1).

The following should all be attributed to Tim Vine:~

• "So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me "Can you give me a lift?" I said "Sure, you look great, the world's your oyster, go for it.'"


• "You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice."


• "So I went down my local ice-cream shop, and said 'I want to buy an ice-cream'. He said Hundreds & thousands?' I said 'We'll start with one.' He said 'Knickerbocker glory?' I said 'I do get a certain amount of freedom in these trousers, yes.'


• So I went to the dentist. He said "Say Aaah." I said "Why?" He said "My dog's died."


• "Now, most dentist's chairs go up and down, don't they? The one I was in went back and forwards. I thought 'This is unusual'. And the dentist said to me 'Mr Vine, get out of the filing cabinet."


• "So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are."


• "So I rang up my local swimming baths. I said 'Is that the local swimming baths?' He said 'It depends where you're calling from."


• "So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'


• "Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin."


• "So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.'

Keeping An Eye On The Good & Fast

The word 'fast' has become sheer terror amongst gourmets and some self proclaimed food connoisseurs. Shout out the word fast to one and you will see how he immediately enters a convulsion with the grimace of sheer disgust on his face, exclaiming he's going to have a heart attack. In Italy for instance, a new wave of 'slow food' was born and is still going on, as opposition to the invasion of McDonald's, Burger Kings and such like. New restaurants sprang up announcing their dedication to recuperate the traditional MaMa's cooking. Spain has taken a different approach. Barcelona premièred 'Fast Good' chain of restaurants near 5 years ago. These have the appearance of fast food restaurants, but more up market in décor and design with more or less the same structure and 'feel, that you can have a meal in double quick time, but high quality and innovative concoctions made with luxurious and exquisite ingredients by 1st class chefs. Almost the same as you would get in a 5-starred restaurant where you would have to sit for 2-3 hours for the meal and pay sky high prices. In theory, there's nothing wrong with the fast part, the bad comes with the combination of fast and cheap, so the quality of the product is unavoidably and greatly compromised. Personally, I don't mind paying a bit more to have a really good meal, as long as the price is considerably less than the Michelin starred restaurants; unless you are a die-hard McDonalds fan. Only the influx of customers or the lack of them will show whether a 3rd ingredient for guaranteed success is needed: the price is reasonable or at least justifiable. Tags:fastfood,slowfood,fastgood
