a week after Comic relief and the disapointment of the crisps not available in ireland, i went shopping with my family in Waterford.
Guess what was on the crisp aisle!
better late than never!
this year walkers crisps teamed with 4 comedians with 4 celebrity endorsed flavours they are:
FRANK SKINNER CHICKEN DINNER
STEAK AND AL PIE (AL MURRAY)
STEPHEN FRY-UP
AND JIMMY CARR CARNE
FRANK SKINNER
WHO? Soccor-centric stand-up that released the song football's coming home
FLAVOUR: Chicken dinner
VERDICT: Very bland flavour
AL MURRAY
WHO? "THE PUB LANDLORD" A GUY WHO THINKS ENGLAND IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY AND IF A MAN DOESNT DRINK HE'S GAY!
FLAVOUR: STEAK AND ALE PIE
VERDICT: this is even worse! At least chicken tastes like chicken. this is like Al Murray himself: Tasteless!
STEPHEN FRY
WHO? Comic legend, pioneer Tweeter and Host of QI.
FLAVOUR: FRY-UP (EGG,BACON, SAUSAGE,PUDDING)
VERDICT: My dad ate all but the test packet i hid. no wonder as this was greatly improved since year one's batch.
JIMMY CARR
WHO? Deadpan darkly humoured host of Your face or mine?, Distraction and 8 out of 10n cats.
FLAVOUR: Chilli con carne
VERDICT: Far too spicy for my taste
As par the public vote, the winner was ...
Stephen fry!
the forfiet was a live waxing for the other 3
well thats it!

wrestlemania X-7:X years later part 3
VINCE MCMAHON VS SHANE MCMAHON
BACKSTORY!: Sick of treating the WWF as his own personal miltia and cheating on his mother until she had a "breakdown", shane took over WCW to call the old man out
Shane comes out first he reveals that WCW is in the arena of the 10 in the private box i only recognise Lance storm, Torrie Wilson and Jobb-o ...i mean Chavo Guerrerro. mick foley is the special referee.

Steph comes in and slaps shane shane attacks vince with camara wires. clothesline of the security wall. kendo stick shot. shane loses out with the Leap of faith. trish stratus who was with vince at the time, comes out with linda in a wheelchair and attacks vince and chases Stephanie out. foley gets attacked by vince for protecting linda. and end is linda rises from her chair. and shane finishes vince with the coast 2 coast
WINNER: SHANE 4/5 (JUST FOR SHEER STORYTELLING)
TLC TWO FOR THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
EDGE AND CHRISTIAN W/RHINO VS DUDLEYZ W/SPIKE VS HARDY BOYZ W/LITA
In 10 years and the hardys have dramatically changed i think can be resolved by swapping their addictions. You dont see much fat smack-heads and Fatt Lardy needs stuff that will get that gut gone for good. it would terrible things to their teeth though! also ringing the changes is the dudleys ring attire at this point in their carear their ring-gear was strange coloured camoflague, which would be handy if bubba was in a war in the stottish heaths or in a swimming pool full of Ribena!
anyway there is too much non-wrestling offence so lets get to the short version of this match
IRON SHIEK WINS BATTLE ROYAL
UNDERTAKER 9-0
WWF CHAMPIONSHIP
STONE COLD VS THE ROCK(c)
BACKSTORY!: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE GREATEST MATCH IN WRESTLEMANIA , AS CHOSEN BY ALL OF YOU! In 2001 austin won his 3rd ever rumble to face the rock tonight, vince to stir things up made Debra, then-managar and then-wife to manage the rock. when she got injured. the rattlesnake went nuts! the result:a high octane intense match that became personal
the match was made no DQ to the shock of jim ross. Stone cold starts this off with rights and lefts irish whip Lou Thesz press. elbow by austin neckbreaker by austin. rock trying for Rock Bottom, austin tries for the stunner, fight in this hot Texan crowd back in the ring and Outlaw Attack by Austin followed by vertical suplex. clothesline by the rock, a hip toss gets 2. more fighting on the outside again. Austin hits rock with the ring bell, the english announce table is destroyed.back in the ring, and neckbreaker by SCSA whip into the corner mudhole stomping clothesline by the rock. Rock brings the ringbell in hits austin with it! more ringside brawling slingshot sending rock into ring post. sharpshooter by the rock as both men are bloodied but austin with a sharpshooter on his own, into million dollar dream . stunner by the rock has this texas crowd turn nasty! vince comes down to ringside and saves austin after peoples elbow. multiple chairshots by austin as a stunned Jim Ross speaks on. "austin has sold his soul to Satan himself!"
WINNER AND NEW WWF CHAMPION: AUSTIN 5/5

- spike rhino and lita interfere for there respective teams, with lita jerking edge off ....the ladder (not that she wasnt familer with that...just ask matt hardy! actually don't given how emo he has become he would probably cry into his ice-cream listening to 3 days grace's back catalogue knowing full well that his blood type his Haggen-dasz!)
- in the end christian gets a piggy back from rhino to get the belts

wrestlemania x-7: X years later! part 1
10 years ago next month, the high-grossing wrestlemania of all time happened in Houston Texas. it was a major success on so many levels. as a fan its card was stacked with stellar matches. from a business stand-point it broke attendance download ppv and video sale records. If anything, this show was the catalyst for wwf becoming wwe the following year.
And much like Linkara's Secret Origins month, while i will respectivly review these matches, i will make jokes on the gimmicks and careers of the concerned in this show, however i tell you now i will NOT be making any Beniot jokes. Too many lives were destroyed by that man and we, as fans, should not be making light of those events.
So lets start!
Calling the action tonight is the legendary Jim Ross, and former ecw owner Paul Heyman. Conspicious by his sbsence is Jerry Lawler who left in protest when his then wife, Stacy "the Kat" Carter was fired. however when carter divorved Lawler he was set to return in 2002.

Double underhook superplex by regal. chris tries to put regal in the walls but his shoulder is giving out it gets countered into the regal stretch chris in the ropes. the Canadian fights back with chops, a bulldog, a vertical suplex and finally a loinsault and its over!
