“Considered by many the most beautiful country in Eastern-Europe, Romania still claims regions that seem bastions of a medieval past long since lost elsewhere.”

A quote taken from Fodor’s Eastern and Central Europe.

I thought however even in the Middle Ages they had the decency to crap in the privacy of their own homes and then throw it in to the street!

There’s some pretty gruesome stuff on the net and this little vid definitely falls into that category. A guy on a moped gets run over and then scraped along the road by a lorry.

The original hot tub, where the last one out wins a beer :0)

So this guy called Ian Usher from Darlington, who emigrated to Australia six years ago, gets dumped by his wife and decides he needs a new start away from the constant memories of his ex. No messing around for Ian though, he’s selling his house plus all it’s contents, car, motorbike, jetski, parachute, friends and job in one big lot on eBay.

The 44-year-old said he hoped to earn about £185,000 for his Perth lifestyle but just a few hours after the bidding opened the highest bid had already reached £314,000. With 7 days still remaining on the auction bidding is over AUD $720,000, equivalent to £350,000!

You can follow the auction here, and I’ll update this post with the winning bid whan it happens.

UPDATE:
I noticed the auction got to $2,200,000 AU or over £1million! There’s obviously been some spoof bidding on there even though all bidders are supposed to have been pre-approved. The current bid is back down to $300,000 AUD, £150,000 ish.

Loving Coldplays new album, though I read the title track was plaigarised from some other guy. Apparently the comparrison song and video is on You Tube, I haven’t found it yet but while I was looking I stumbled across this cover version buy just 2 guys. One on guitar playing a bass drum and one on keyboards. I really like it, see what you think…



UPDATE:

I think this may be the video I was originally looking for, it’s Joe Satriani’s “If I Could Fly”. No doubt there’s definitely a very strong similarity…
