You might have seen around the blogs that the Daily Mail is advertising for a trainee reporter. Anton Vowl and Angry Mob (plus a more people in the comments at Angry Mob than I've managed to read yet) have written their own applications, so I thought I'd be a big old copycat and give it a go myself. If you see any more around the place, mention them in the comments and I'll stick some links up here. *UPDATE* Ooh look, here's Primly Stable. And Daily Quail, and Cath Elliot and Doug.
Here's my application:

Ringarangadong for a holiday
Check out the new style we just play.
I am off on holidy for a little over two weeks. Not anywhere hot or dusty like Minority Thought though. Let's just say there's more chance of me meeting Scott Pilgrim where I'm going. I plan to blog a bit more when I get back, and there'll be one or two new regular features, I think. I won't be cutting down on the bum jokes though. Relax, bumface.
While I am gone, I might as well nick Minority Thought's idea and give you a list of other media watchy type blogs to pay attention to - although it appears to be media watchy blog holiday season at the minute with me, Anton Vowl and Primly Stable all being away. In different places, I think.
Also, check in with Obsolete while you're at it. Never miss that one. Or Minority Thought himself, who incidentally is on Twitter as @MinorityThought. If you're into Tsonga Disco (for some reason), there's also Ernie Goggins at 27 Leggies.
After the jump - a song!

Meme tune
Hey, Jamie at Blood & Treasure, Justin at Chicken Yoghurt and D-Notice at, uh, D-Notice have theme tunes for their blog. What a billiant idea to steal!
Here's what I wish the theme tune to Five Chinese Crackers was:
Here's the more sensible choice. The earlier one is the B-side or something:
You like my theme tune(s) innit? You like, yes?
Update - here's Anton Vowl's for Enemies of Reason.

Olympic dreaming
That's not it. Don't go away!

What am I going to do with my life?
There's this thing I used to do. It's the sort of creative thing you can do as a career, but you have to work your way into. I went quite a distance, and people thought I was good at it. People doing it as a career thought I'd be good enough to join them with a bit more practice, and people at the same level I was at then are successful now. The future was looking pretty bright.But I stopped.

Stop singing Journey
My wife finally snapped. It happened the other night, when we were watching Bones or something, and the adverts came on. Up popped a trailer for Glee and she suddenly said, "For god's sake stop shouting 'STOP SINGING JOURNEY!' whenever that advert comes on." Because I had. Again. And my face was still red from the effort.

Holiday
I'm always on bloody holiday. YES! Anyway, I'm off for a couple of weeks. Again. See you on the flipside, suckers!*
Here are a couple of clips. If I get a faraway look on my face and stare off into the middle distance, and you're tempted to ask, "what are you thinking?" - it's this. (Below the jump).

Urgent weekend request
***UPDATE*** The first comments are in. I want at least double figures for this baby. Come on!
You'll find out why
Inspired by (or shamelessly merging a couple of recent ideas from, you decide) Anton over at Enemies of Reason, I am breaking with the remit of this blog to put out an urgent weekend request to my lovely readers. I'll also be sharing a detail about myself that I probably shouldn't. Hurrah! Here goes.
