I’ve been spending far too much time at work recently. I’ve been covering my old post, which is strange. It’s also a bit of a ego-soother; apparently I wasn’t bad at it, it was just much harder than I realised. It’s still stressful enough that I have no regrets about quitting, though.

As a result, today’s links are going to be in the form of videos! Enjoy.

Publishing:

MC Nuts does the Wordsworth rap. This was genuinely produced by the Lake District’s tourist board. No one’s entirely sure why…

Other Publishing videos (and these are a bit of a stretch, I’m afraid. I’m sure there’s lots of educational and informative videos on publishing, but, well…) include the Medieval helpdesk and the Year of Reading advert starring Bill Bailey, Jo Brand, Geri Halliwell, Lenny Henry and many others.

Interest-Piquing:

One of the earlist films ever made!

Other interest piquing videos include footage of a vampire squid and the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

InsPiring:

Benedict Cumberbatch, star of the new Sherlock series, reads Little Red Hen.

Other Inspiring videos include the a capella adaptation of John Williams’ music and ‘That Burning Sensation’ from TV show Popular.

Procrastination:

The Evolution of Dance, or one of the few YouTube videos over 3 minutes that I’m willing to watch all the way through.

Other procrastinationary videos including the new Wickerman Recut and Father Ted vs the Exorcist.

Bonus Video!

I was genuinely made to watch this at school. Not in the 70s, though. 2002. This is a Man. With a Plank.
