Harrier

Saw this in Sainbury's. It's the only Harrier you get in H.M. Armed Forces at the moment. Sadly.

Get to the chopper! Somewhere near Oxford

A lynx methinks...

BAMMA

Bone crunchingly close to the cage at BAMMA 5, M.E.N. arena. Vicious stuff.

An old story but this quote is ace

"At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: "Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google." .... [Via Reg]

Terminate yourself

Makes you look a bit, well, Terminator-ified.

Japan shows stealth mock up

I give it 7 out of 10. They really want a Raptor for Christmas but they are mostly Buddhist and the American Santa Claus doesn't want to give out any presents.... [Via flightglobal]

Lego Skull

Only by chance am I posting two pictures of skulls sequentially but this is a great pic. Glad I bought a mindstorms kit. Wonder how many I'd need to get this bad boy going? Head over to Engadget to see a video!

Noel Gallagher attacked on stage

Watch this YouTube video. 1:30 into the clip Noel gets attacked. Shame it doesn't show the man getting battered backstage, I rather suspect that is what happens. Don't bother watching the rest, a bloke comes on stage and says they will be back in 5 mins but you don't see the return.

Please post a link in comments if you find them coming back on, I'm interest what they say.

Party - 14th April 2029. 99942 Apophis.

And let's make it a good one. We're all going to die on the 15th. Just to make sure you get the message, EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE. Asteroid death. And if we don't die, it's going to get a bit cloudy. But surely the government is doing something? They had a competition for kids and one said to wrap it in cling-film (well, Mylar to be more accurate) so that it would get a bit warm and go away. Bollocks I say, nuke it.

What I want for Christmas

Well summer's over and soon people will be asking me what I want for Christmas. I think this year I'll ask everybody I know to chip in and get me a Mk-16 SCAR with an optical sight. Why not? I really don't want to have to move to America but the thought of the extra toys you are allowed over there makes me want a ranch of some kind. Of course I'm joking. Guns are BAD, everybody knows that... Pics videos and article here [via military.com]

Vulcan flies again

"Never the most smoke-free engines, the four Olympus 202s emitted their tell-tale plume of part-burnt kerosene as XH558 took to the Hampshire skies after a remarkably short take-off run – accompanied by a myriad car-alarms tricked into action by the crackling, vibrating roar that speaks of the god of fire and volcanoes after who the Vulcan is aptly named" [via flightglobal.com]

A set of superb pictures showing Chinese preparations for the Olympics.

My personal favourites are (in no particular order)

1. SAM
2. Segway man with sniper rifle
3. Flamethrower man
4. Wendy house attack
5. Giant cartoon monster in background

Not going to the airshow...

Due to heavy rain, dogblog isn't going to the airshow. No red arrows or F22 raptor for me today. No jokes about 'roving' reporters. Where can I go instead? I'm up, the tent's packed and the sandwiches are done...
