Fire (Blog #10-24/9/12)

   In the words of Will from The Inbetweeners "Fire is an element and must be respected". All things considered, fire is actually still pretty cool to look at. There's loads of really great photos out there of it, in all different colours.
   Personally I think it looks coolest when the photo is edited to be purple, so I'll try and find a purple fire photo to put at the bottom of the article. (As any loyal Decimal Juice reader will know)
   REMEMBER: Don't play with fire, it's more dangerous than you think (if you're silly).

FIFA 13 (Blog #9-23/9/12)

   FIFA 13 comes out on the Friday. If you're a big football fan, like I am, you'll be in a frenzy in the run-up to the latest installment in the popular EA sports series.
   FIFA 12 was a massive disappointment- but then again I didn't know what to expect considering how bad FIFA 11 was. One good thing is that we don't have to look at Wayne Rooney's ugly mug on the front cover this year. Lionel Messi is joined on the front by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joe Hart.

The X Factor (Blog #8-22/9/12)

   Let's be honest. The X Factor's days are over. Simon Cowell has milked as much money as is humanly possible from The X Factor. The format is old, all the singers that were ever mildly good have been and gone, very few winners actually make it very big anyway.
   Steve Brookstein. Does that name ring any bells? I didn't think so. Steve was the first winner of the X Factor back in 2004. I don't remember his name being mentioned AT ALL since he won this farce of a show.
   The show was only ever interesting when Simon Cowell was being rude to the contestants. Now that he's not on it- what's the point of watching it? Answer: There is none.

Nick Clegg (Blog #7-21/9/12)

   Yesterday deputy PM Nick Clegg had to say sorry for the Lib Dem's failure to deliver on their promise about not raising university tuition fees.
   This apology inspired a mock autotune video, making fun of his speech. This was hilariously executed and you must see it if you haven't already. Type 'Nick Clegg sorry song' into YouTube. NOW!

Gangnam Style (Blog #6-20/9/12)

(Sorry this blog is a day late- I forgot yesterday)

   Dance track 'Gangnam Style' from South Korean artist Psy has swept the world. It's number 1 in many different countries and is still #1 on the youtube 100, having surpassed 230,000,000 views.
   It'll probably soon be the most famous song ever to come out of South Korea very soon (if it isn't already!). It's not only swept the rest of the world, but they love it in South Korea too! Two professional Korean footballers celebrated by mimicing Psy's dance in the video.
   Anyhow, It is a classic and is currently ubiquitous. Long may it last!

Lions (Blog #5-19/9/12)

   Lions. The King of the jungle. They are wild, ferocious beasts who will rip a gazelle apart in seconds- so don't mess with it.
   You see cuddly Lions everywhere these days, and on jumpers, T-shirts, statues etc. But why do people love this cold-blooded killer so much?
   The answer is simple: Because they are just AWESOME.
   They are so famous that they even have a Disney film about them. That's when you know you've made it- when Disney get involved- the crafty beggars!

Doughnuts (Blog #4-18/9/12)

   Yes. That's right. Doughnuts. Not "Donuts"- but Doughnuts. Doughnuts are some of the world's yummiest treats. The best being a good ol' raspberry jam doughnut, covered in sugar.
   I mean, yes, technically it will attract ants into your cupboard, which is why I reccomend you to eat them up as soon as you get them! Waste no time! It's a dog eat eat world! (Or in this case, it's a human eat doughnut before the ant can world).
   Do you hear me? What are you doing wasting time reading this blog? Go! GO and eat those doughnuts!
   NOW!
