[Me]Sports: Olympics and Barnet!

I also have a sports post for you! Two different flavours today for you. First things first, there's a show on BBC1 tomorrow (29th July) at 10.35PM. Titled 'Olympic Dreams'...

...it shows the life of Britain's young Olympic stars as they prepare to take on the best of the world in the upcoming Beijing olympics, and also their training for London 2012. This is however the 3rd in the series - so why am I blogging about it? Because it involves two great young table tennis players, Darius Knight and Paul Drinkhall (Picture.

My second sports update is on my team, Barnet FC, and most notably their recent game against Arsenal. Final score was 1-2, however Barnet did take the lead with a wonderfully placed free-kick from left-back Kenny Gillet which beat Manuel Almunia. For the second half, Arsenal played a completely different 11, consisting of many new faces to football fans, from Arsenal's very successful youth setup. These youngsters actually played better than the more accomplished Arsenal team from the first half, and goals from Jay Simpson and Nacer Barazite sunk the Bees. The games was, however, a very good lesson for some of the younger players, and possibly one of Barnet's brighter young stars, Danny Hart, looks like he could turn out to be a very good player.

Until next time! Mr. Bean. Read more on "[Me]Sports: Olympics and Barnet!"...

[Me]Update: AVARiCE's Absence

For this update I have two posts in one for you. Most important thing first - our favourite editor AVARiCE is away on holiday and won't be back for a few weeks, so I'll be around to keep you occupied. Read more on "[Me]Update: AVARiCE's Absence"...

[You] Faceplant Friday: The Return of the Ouch

This week I’ve got three more videos lined up for you all. The usual blockbuster, a funny one and the final one - this week marks the return of the one that makes you cringe.

I’ll start with the funny one. A short clip which involves a little kid and gymnastics. God I love the gymnastic face plants.

It’s only short I know but the wacky music and multiple replays sum this face plant up. It’s quirky and no major damage was done – watch the kid run off at the end. I just found it really funny, I mean, this kid probably just proved that his Mum was right when she said he should quite gym and play football instead. Check the rest after the jump.

Ok this one is just cringe worthy. Could someone please tell me whether she broke her neck or not? Regardless – this looks like pain was a big hitter. Still, it’s a face plant, and it harks back to the early days of Face Plant Friday, in which I gave you some real painful ones.

Just Ouch. Somebody call a doctor or something, that has got to smart. Don’t you love the way she basically balances on her face before her neck gives a way? That, ladies and gents, is a proper face plant, with a hold. I heard this lady’s going to be in the new Tony Hawks.

But now. The moment you all love. The blockbuster face plant. This weeks’ is quite an odd one if I’m honest, I highly doubt anyone will spot it first time but don’t worry, it comes with a slow-mo replay.

Before I go any further I've got to hand credit to Matthew who pointed this video out to me, great spot! This is one of the best face plants I've ever seen for so many reasons - not only do I suspect that this guy is now out of the genepool, but I think all the other douche bags with him have learnt their lessons as well. Result. Now watch it again and take note of the sound of his face smacking the car. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Take care guys and gals.

[Me] Introductions: Mr. Bean on your Editing Team!

I hope our resident editor has started all the necessary excitement over the newest additions to the editing team (!). But nevertheless, here I am – your deputy editor, Mr. Bean. I hope you’ll enjoy the different flavours that I’ll be bringing to your favourite blog.

-

Of course, you’ll be getting your usual dose of humour, news and just awesome-ness, but with me there’ll be some different flavours for you viewing folk. Sports will be where I blog about the comings and goings of my favourite team, Barnet FC, along with any other major lower-league football news that’s flying about. I’ll also be writing about my sport, table tennis, in these posts. Hopefully I’ll bring a few converts from Arsenal and badminton from the Dark Side! Other little niches of mine will undoubtedly be blogged about sooner or later, so keep an eye out!

‘Tis all for now folks!
Mr. Bean

[You] Comedy: Best News Story Evar?

This is just epic. See the jump? Do it.

I'm thinking of starting a new series (alongside Face Plant Friday) called 'Only In America', because with the glorious US of A, this blog probably wouldn't exist in any form, let alone this one.

I don't honestly think that my satire could actually add anything to this video. It involves a man with no nose, a kidnapping, a drunken pair and the best excuse I've ever heard. Epic.

Just watch it, if you can do it with a straight face then you're twice the man I am. Peace out.
