By on Monday, 5. February 2007

Back in the day, when I had enough energy to stay up past ten o’clock and I had rhythm in my soul (it was never the right rhythm, but it was rhythm none the less), I saw many DJs who were a great deal less animated (and less talented) than [...]

By on Sunday, 4. February 2007

We won’t make any excuses – we like aircraft here at TFTS Towers, and we especially like fast aircraft (and fast aircraft at low level, well…) and, judging by the popularity of previous aircraft related videos we’ve shown on Thoughts from the Sidelines, so do you. That said, it’s been [...]

Video –Wii Hold on Tight Animation

By on Sunday, 4. February 2007

Video – The Shopping Japanese Penguin

By on Tuesday, 9. January 2007

We’ve seen some silly things here as TFTS and, though this is by no means the oddest thing we’ve featured by way of video clips, I would venture to say with reasonable certainty that a shopping penguin is somewhat out of the norm. In the video below you can see [...]

Video – The Chainsaw Powered Harley

By on Sunday, 31. December 2006

In a somewhat clever bid to promote their company name and their range of products, Hamburg based Dolmar GmbH have produced a impressive motorbike powered by no less than 24 separate chainsaw engines, with the combined power totalling 125kW – delivering 130Nm of torque – being fed to a Harley-Davidson [...]

Honda’s Remarkable New TV Ad with ASIMO

By on Monday, 18. December 2006

You may or may not have seen this new advert from Honda featuring their awe inspiring Asimo robot but, if you haven’t then you’re in for a treat. A little (probably too honest) background. The first time I saw this was in a pub this weekend whilst I was supposed [...]
