Working hard (as I always do) today, and listening to the news on the radio in the background I caught the mention of the new “Trailer Trash Doll”. They were talking about their trailer trash names, Scott Mills, Jo Whiley etc.,
Well I have to have a look, didn’t I? My trailer trash name is “Jon [...]

Since I went over to Mel’s and saw her two jokes, I thought I would add a joke. Ironically she writes she heard it on iTunes, which I’m using right now to update my iPod with new stuff! Freaky world…
There was an scot, an englishman, and an irishman. They were walking along the beach and [...]

All
Bloody
Day.
(and taking a look at the weather report, looks like it’s not going to change)
What bits of washing were up on the whirlybird, I left there, since it had rained and they were wet anyway. Maybe I’ll get them dry next summer?
I’ve spent the day off, taking it nice and easy (filling in tender forms [...]

Since I lived in the US for a while, I heard a great deal about the now-constant debate over border security. One can see why the US politicians might have it in their mind as something important, given 9/11 etc.,
So the question arises, why aren’t they doing something about it? Talk. Yes, the inevitable talking. [...]

Why do birds in flocks fly in V formations?
If ’smoking kills’ (as we are constantly, and legally, reminded on cigarette packs), why does the Government permit the sale of cigarettes, yet ban cocaine, heroin and hard drugs?
How are Iraqis’ lives better off now, when in Baghdad they get 1 hour of electricity yet under Saddam [...]

What constitutes a ‘natural’ food? One taken from nature herself (apples, oranges, vegetables)? Or those that are harvested, packaged, and processed but still ‘natural’?
For example at work the other day someone said, oh that’s ‘natural yoghurt’. As far as I know, yoghurt isn’t ‘naturally’ occuring right? So how can it be ‘natural’? It’s made from [...]

Today was an interesting day, well, aside from the downpour which totally drenched my drying clothes in about 2 minutes. *%$#!
I went for lunch with my mum and Pat at Tealby, at Ye Olde Barn. It was ok, a converted barn from hundreds of years ago. The food was ok, although the roast beef left [...]

A heat wave. In September.
It’s like that Monty Python sketch with the tiger. ‘A tiger. In Africa?’, he asks incredulously.
But, apparently that’s what we’re having today, temperatures reaching 26C. All thanks to the Americans, the remnants of some storm coming our way pushing through France and giving us lots of warm air, and a nice [...]

So today is an interesting day for me. Here goes…
At work, I was building two new computers, we need higher processor power in the design room and some trickle down effect through other computers there. As I pushed out the slot holder at the back, my forefinger slipped right down the metal and I got [...]

… wonder why the Pope is apologising? He quoted a passage a few days ago, which has inflamed the muslim world. But I wonder, where is the righteous indignation when the Christian faith is trodden by muslim clerics? What about Saudi Arabian school textbooks saying we’re apes and pigs? Seems to me that our own [...]
