30 Reasons Why James Blunt Won At Twitter In 2013

lauren: Why does James Blunt sing like his willy is being stood on?
James Blunt: Damn thing's always getting caught under my feet.


Mind you, I've had a soft spot for him ever since the first time he appeared on HIGNFY and I realised he was a) funny, and b) more than ready to make fun of himself also. As this delightful clip proves:




ETA: Also funny (but nothing to do with James Blunt): LOL my thesis. (Summing up years of work in one sentence.)

- I scared rats with a fire alarm and measured how high they jumped.

- I stared at kids playing videogames to prove that kids like playing videogames.

- This program was successful at convincing people to do certain things, but there was no evidence that doing those things affected anything at all.

- Basically, Beyoncé can do anything.

- I checked to see if our galaxy’s chemistry could protect humankind from being nuked by an enormous stellar explosion. Bad news, everyone…

- You might be surprised about how many things you can do with an aquarium.

- Russian poets are actually woodland creatures.

- People don’t like electrodes stuck to their head while you flash epilepsy-inducing lights at them.

- The only time when DC Comics was not bad at female characters was when they had none.

I lave a soft spot for James Blunt too for the same reasons. I don't like his music, but that doesn't mean I can't like the man. See also Ed Sheeran.

LOL at My Thesis. My undergraduate one would have been "chickadees are very clever and realize instantly when there's no food in the empty shell, no matter what color it's painted."

*g* Okay, I've caved and added my thesis. Bet nobody recognises it...

And I've been loving James Blunt. His sister's a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend sort of deal, and is completely lovely the couple of times I've met her, so I'm not surprised he turns out to be proper funny. (She doesn't mention him - you just have to be warned by someone, lest you go off on an anti-Blunt thing, which apparently happens more than you'd think.)

Sadly in a mod queue. I hear it may be some time, alas.

The sister works with highly disabled kids. Again, perspective, I'd think. On the whole, I think definitely good people. Definitely better than many who criticise him as a reflex anyway.

Did you see him on Top Gear - the only star in a reasonably priced car able to drive a tank- and handle Jezza.

I like James Blunt too - not so much for his music (though I loved his latest song 'Bonfire Heart', but he comes across as a really nice bloke on every TV and radio show I've seen or heard him on.

I'm waiting for Brutti's thesis to get put up there so that I can try and guess which it is. *g*
