So to celebrate the first video on the Dark Smile Production's YouTube channel hitting the dizzy land mark of 200 views (Not much I know but I'm easily impressed) I have made yet another work Dinosaur video. So here is number 3.
I can see there only being 6 of these in its current cycle after that the format might have to change to stop it going stale. Who knows he might find a steady job or go to prison or form a union or something. What would be great if people share this video with there friends. My main goal is to entertain people and the more people I entertain the better in my eyes.
like a lot of people have been fascinated by Dinosaurs from a very early age. There is something about these great beasts from the past that really fires the imagination. They were the dominant species for millions of years and all we know about them is what can be gleamed from their fossilised bones.
Of coarse Work Dinosaur isn't intended to be in anyway factual (in case you hadn't realised) It's just a bit of fun and I hope people enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
And even better if you really do love the Work Dinosaur I have created some merchandise that can be bought from the bellow online shop. I got one of these myself for Christmas and it's fantastic if I do say so myself.

Delafield’s Epic campaign to stop the misuse of the word Epic.
Every generation has their own buzz words that they use to describe how good things are. Be it Groovy, cool, Hot, phat or Awesome. Currently the in word is “Epic”. Now I know that I shouldn’t get wound up about these kind of things but I’m gonna. Epic is such a good word and it’s powerful and means so much more than the trite it is now been used to describe.
An Online dictionary tells me.
“–adjective Also, ep·i·cal.
1.
noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style: Homer's Iliad is an epic poem.
2.
resembling or suggesting such poetry: an epic novel on the founding of the country.
3.
heroic; majestic; impressively great: the epic events of the war.
4.
of unusually great size or extent: a crime wave of epic proportions.
–noun
5.
an epic poem.
6.
epic poetry.
7.
any composition resembling an epic.
8.
something worthy to form the subject of an epic: The defense of the Alamo is an American epic.
9.
( initial capital letter ) Also called Old Ionic. the Greek dialect represented in the Iliad and the Odyssey, apparently Aeolic modified by Ionic. “
No where does this state that it is to be used to describe humdrum run of the mill every day events.
The Lord of the Ring Films are pretty Epic ordering slightly more food from the take away than you usually do isn’t.
Robert Falcon Scott’s attempt to reach the south pole was epic. Going to the corner shop in the rain to buy a bottle or Dr Pepper isn’t.
I could go on. But I’ve made this little video instead.
And it would seem I’m not alone.
Urban dictionary contributor describes epic as
“the most overused word ever, next to fail. for even more asshole points, use them together to form "epic fail."
everything is epic now. epic car. epic haircut. epic movie. epic album. epic shut the fuck up.
saying "epic win" doesn't make you sound any better, either. and for fucks sake, don't ever say it in person.

WARNING: Pandas evolve into brain parasites.
If you cast your eyes across any town in this great nation of ours you would be fooled into thinking that everything is as it should be. You would be wrong. For a new menace now stalks our streets. If you focus on the knitwear adorning many of our people’s heads you will be made aware of the horror that is the Brain Panda.
It is unknown what has sparked this evolutionary side step but it has been rumoured that North Korean experimentation into deadly Gamma rays may be a factor. It would seem that these new Pandas rather than feast upon bamboo seek to feed upon Synaptic impulses and brain waves. Cunningly disguised as twee woolly hats these Brain Pandas leach upon the wearer’s thoughts, a side effect being that only the most banal ways of thinking survive the gorging. If this continues the citizens of our nation will soon be reduced to brain-dead cattle like morons.
I for one only hope that when this day comes we will be able to tell the difference.

NEWS FLASH: Disgruntled Time Traveling Dinosaurs Teabag Nick Clegg.
The Sauropod council of ancients visited Britain today to engage in talks with the Con-Dem Government. It transpired that during the run up to the last general election weasley Boot licker Nick Clegg had promised these prehistoric giants time travelling amnesty in the United Kingdom if he came into power. The Delegation had traversed the time lines to see that Clegg made good on his pledge.
A Spokesperson for Nick Clegg said that “Unfortunately, the situation in British Politics is a lot different than was at first thought and there is no way that a Con-Dem government can justify keeping a promise, ever.”
The mood in the Sauropod camp was one of disappointment and frustration. Lead councillor Gha’Maruka had this to say “Our people have been looking for a new timeline to inhabit for what seems like and age and in Great Britain we thought we had finally found a home. My world of advice to Nick Clegg would be to take a closer look at who his friends are. We (The Sauropod Council) once formed a coalition with the Carnosaurs in a similar election many millions of years ago. It was that getting in bed with Velociraptors that brought about the extinction of our race. It would be a shame if such a well groomed man did the same for yours.”
Before leaving the council performed the ancient “Dance of the Vanished Accord” where each member slowly went about placing their ball sack upon the head of Nick Clegg. They then with heavy hearts took off into the time streams to locate a new home.
After this Jurassic sized Tea-bagging Clegg was heard to say “Well that’s another election promise I’ve ballsed up!”

A start of something new...
Well so it’s the start of a brand new year. As if you hadn’t noticed. I normally forgo making any new year’s resolutions. In Fact I gave making New Year’s resolutions and New Year’s resolution several years ago and have stuck to that thoroughly.
However in the interest of making twenty eleven more interesting I have decided to this year have some new year’s ambitions. I have all the usual get fit, drink less yadda yadda yadda. But I’m also throwing in a few curved balls. I want to make sure I write a pilot episode of a sitcom, work on my own zombie guide and start writing a blog.
That blog is here. And if you’re reading this then you’ve stumbled upon me. I’ve never been particularly good with diaries and the like. The only time I ever kept one was when I lived in a shitty Bed sit in Longsight and it was the only thing saving me from a lonely existence. At the moment I’m blessed with having more friends than I can ever get round to visit so finding time for this blog might prove hard but I think as someone who wants to write I think it’s good to have a place where they can be all self reflective and everything.
So this is my place on the internet. It might not make sense at times and it will not always be grounded in reality but well that’s me all over.
