Best of the Best Part 1
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 15 lety
All from my hospital ward, a sweded version of Top Gun - possibly the campest movie in history- but thoroughly enjoyable. Anyway here's my tribute- I was receiving treatment for leukaemia and living in hospital and this distracted from the pain a little. All edited on a powerbook G4 (it took ages) and shot with the props available (note oxygen mask) Continued in Part 2

My new nephew Maximos (my marrow donor sister's first child) in his first film role. It was an honour to work with him although these brilliant artists can be demanding.

A Bone Marrow biopsy. They screw a hole into my hip bone to pull ot some bone marrow and check my leukaemia status. No sedation and as fun as it sounds!
It’s Christmas of 2021, and we all know what shit storm of spouting now days
Who are the bell ends giving a thumbs down for this? Depressing that I share a planet with such negative people. This technique looks so difficult to play. But as always you make it look easy.
Tab where is the tab i need the tab
Beautiful, thanks so much
Brilliant. I can now see how to play these notes. I thought an explanation might be useful:- So taking one note as an example: G#. Marked as 8va (play a note an octave higher) and A.H. (Artificial Harmonic) (Tab: No 4 on 1st String). Bridget plays it using the Left hand to select fret 4, while the Right hand plays A.H. at an octave higher ie 4th fret above fret 12 ie fret 16. NB. This score is available in "The Classical Guitar Compendium" by Bridget Mermikedes
Awesome !!!! In her transcrptions book ...she spells this out...but for the life of me had no idea to apply. Thank you !
This is beautiful <3
Someone show this to Paltrow!

The most "closed-minded" people are those who use that word in arguements
How is he able to sing in tune while getting an injection on his bare bottom?
This was simply genius! I so wish I had the talent of word smithery.

TL:DR what was the shot for ?
How are you now the videos are old I love them wondering how you are, blessings
getting a shot is a "tough" medical procedure? k
Thinking about you. It's been almost a year since I lost my mom from cancer. You were such an insperation to her I hope your doing well
The backing music seems based off the same royalty free music that Kerbal Space Program uses it seems...
God you made me laugh because you seem so silly about it. At least your being positive.
am glad your doing better
This is perfect beat poetry, man. Every single word is perfectly chosen, no syllable wasted. Tim Minchin is a fucking genius.
It took some time before I became comfortable with it, but now I just, can't picture any nonense anymore. If asked, while actually being serious, I'll say that I am happy being a nothing. I don't need no person to tell me our lives are worth anything. I need to be able to live, have a troubled life, and be rewarded somehow during it. Hopefully, when I die, I die content. If there IS more after it, well, they can tell me then,- I don't deny God if he himself says he exist.
One word.....JESUS!!!!
genius
i love this!!!! fuck ya...

A toddler can bullshit. If bullshitting is a skill, it's not a worthwhile one...
"astrology" on wikipedia
Thanks so much:) It all makes sence now^^
It basically means you have a skill, and you're selling those services. A carpenter is plying a skill. Plumbers are plying a skill Hell, even jugglers are plying a skill. Psychics and homeopaths aren't.
So I love this one, have watched it a couple of million times:) But I'm still having a bit of trouble with the phrase "plying a skill", is there any kind soul out there who could explain it to me?
what's a sagittarian ?
I didn't know a trip to doctor's could be so cheery!
Kick ass attitude dude!
Okay, I'll admit that I don't agree with EVERYTHING he argued (though I DID agree with most of it). However, regardless of my views, that was some mighty fine poetry. :) I think most of us can agree with that, without having long arguments in the comments.
Mind=Blown at his brilliance.
Whereas the alt medicine industry make drugs that are specifically designed to treat what? My guess would be a bloated wallet.
Wait, are you suggesting pharmaceutical companies don't produce cures? I'd suggest millions of hugely thankful former cancer patients would disagree.
MrEFC2009 what? He’s saying the opposite. Storm said we should turn to “natural remedies” like herbs cuz she’s a hippie and Tim Minchin is like medicine and “natural remedies” are the same thing - like Aspirin - which is made from plants
So um, i am at the present time partaking in my final year of high school, and while im no 'wizz' per-say at school I cant tell that your argument is structurally and logically irrelevant. Structurally; As you referred to 'Storm earlier in your argument you should be saying "Storm says, 'science is just how we're trained to look at reality" not "Tim says" Logically; "I am a tiny, insignificant, ignorant lump of carbon..." is in itself a statement allowing a claim to 'objectiveness." I win.
Disappointingly reactionary piece (although not without its funny bits) The pharmaceutical industry make drugs that are specifically designed to treat symptoms, not cause. They only want your money. They don't want to cure you. Because if you are cured, you don't give them any more money. Doctors are beholden to pharmaceutical companies too so this affects their prescriptions. Sorry, Tim. You have a bit of research to do.
love this
This seems like a good place to spark up a debate.. nuclear power anyone?
Only one week? She didn't really understand it, right? :D
well at least you were cool about it :/
:) Sorry, no offense, only pure logic, because as I see, you still respect logic. "You can't be a skeptic and believe in god at the same time." Tim Minchin said this, too. (maybe not exact words, it was said during an interview) And this is true. You can't say that you don't believe in the green aliens, but this God thing is different. Or you can say, but it is illogical. But true, I have no problem with your beliefs, so don't take this as an offence. (I was raised as chatolic and I don't mind.)
Is a Chatolic someone who’s addicted to taking?
But he’s right. How can you be a skeptic and believe in God? If you’re a skeptic you need evidence to believe in a cause. Where is your evidence that God exists? The Bible? For all you know, I could have written it.
Sorry to all the high-school rationalists, but Sir Tim comes off worse in this exchange. Storm destroys her claim to epistemic knowledge early on with her "You can't know anything, knowledge is merely opinion." So she might as well shut up. But when Tim says "...science is just how we're trained to look at reality" and "I am a tiny, insignificant, ignorant lump of carbon..." - he's destroyed his claim to objective knowledge, and also to objective morality (so cut back on the moralizing, Tim).
my grand father had cancer
I hope you are doing well that does look painful.
