I’m David. I live in London. I like to write about music and films I watch before I forget about them. I’m pretty sure I don’t use Tumblr properly as I include way too much text. www.last.fm/user/iamdavidddTumblr (3.0; @nobodyspoilmyfun)http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_livxsuabk41qcbq58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><img height="474" width="480" src="http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy108/iamdavidddd/Screenshot2011-03-30at200943.png"/></p> <p class="p1">Am I late on this?!

At this point in time Bruce was the only person in the world to own an underwater camera. You would have thought the purpose of creating such a revolutionary device would be to photograph marine life, capturing fish and their friends in a natural environment, to make a name for himself in the National Geographic Magazine or something similarly themed. But not Bruce. No. Bruce thought that was a shit idea. Bruce thought a much better idea was to use his innovative contraption to photograph people mowing the sea-bed, shooting arrows and stuff. I think Bruce made the right call.</p> <p><img height="398" width="500" src="http://media.smithsonianmag.com/images/SilverSpring_may08_4.jpg"/></p> <p><img height="425" width="500" src="http://media.trb.com/media/photo/2011-02/59336855.jpg"/></p> <p><img height="410" width="500" src="http://www.corbisimages.com/images/67/7C660550-4578-412C-9026-289E60EC9ED7/U1063789.jpg"/></p>http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3879797389http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3879797389Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:48:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhpccf64KK1qcbq58o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Just watched the 2011 Oscar winning short movie ‘God Of Love’ by Luke Matheny, who wrote, directed and starred in it. Really sweet stuff by a filmmaker who I hope has a bright future. Actually paid for it too with the last remaining pennies of an iTunes voucher, and I don’t think I could have spent it any better. On something other than Angry Birds, at least. I wanna make short movies. <br/><br/> <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/19716532" width="500" height="420" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3705796810http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3705796810Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:19:27 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhnnzeIXK81qcbq58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>I wish I liked anything as much as <strike>kids like bubbles</strike> Brian Cox likes science.</span></p>http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3687196741http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3687196741Sun, 06 Mar 2011 16:35:38 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhl5xhvRi21qcbq58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Eric Cantona was on the BBC this morning, still reliable for a ridiculous one-liner. The media’s missed that guy as much as football has. I think with all the shock at the time surrounding ‘the kick’ in ‘95, I didn’t notice the best thing about this picture, which is obviously the gawping chap in the racing hat. Actually, pretty much every reaction here is brilliant.</p>http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3657218692http://nobodyspoilmyfun.tumblr.com/post/3657218692Sat, 05 Mar 2011 08:10:27 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhl3t1ojkC1qcbq58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>“It’s a good thing I don’t like spinach, because if I did, I’d eat it, and I can’t stand the stuff.
