… may the Lords (house of) make us truly thankful (that we don’t get caught.)
You know you couldn’t make this stuff up better if you tried. I can’t imagine the atmosphere in Jacqui Smith’s household right now, but I imagine it’s a right Carry On.
The country’s going to the dogs and all the while someone’s [...]

For what we are about to claim …

The answer my friend …
I love having an answer machine on the telephone and I hate leaving a message on an answer machine. Yes life is full of contradictions isn’t it?
I usually never answer a call, letting our ‘phone take messages. Mainly because we are so sick of calls encouraging use to claim money for unlawful bank charges, or [...]

Cat Time is Unit Time
When I see cats going about their daily business I’m always reminded of the film ‘About a Boy’ where Hugh Grant is talking about filling up his day with units. One unit being equal to 30 minutes.
One unit for watching countdown, two units for web based ‘research’ etc.
I think cats are just the same. Each [...]

Power Lyrics
I heard on my in-car entertainment system (yeah okay, my car radio) Rod Stewart’s ‘You Wear It Well’ recently and I remembered how much I like this song. It’s got a great tune, is sung well (apart from in the YouTube clip below which was the best I could find) and has fantastic lyrics.
One particular [...]

Data is timeless
I was listening to good ol’ Radio 2 on the way to work yesterday and it mentioned a study that:-
‘… concluded that Children of older fathers have lower IQs.’
The study was done by Australian scientists using data from the U.S.
So I thought, “Yawn! Another red wine is bad for you, red wine isn’t bad for [...]

Costa lot
Gennaro Pelliccia’s tongue is worth £10m ($13.95m). That’s a lot of money for a tongue. It’s a lot of money for a body. Heck it’s a lot of money for a whole neighbourhood.
He’s the chief taster at Costa coffee and so his wriggling muscle has been insured by Lloyds of London for a huge salivating [...]

The postman never rings twice
I don’t know about you but the arrival of the post can be something of a trauma. Not only because I don’t welcome most of my post which consists mainly of bills, but it’s the times when the posty has to knock on your door to deliver a large or bulky item or one requiring [...]

Right Said Fred
Right Said Fred
Right said Fred it’s time to put me skates on
Pack my bags and catch n’ early flight,
But as I tried to shift it, couldn’t even lift it,
I was gettin’ nowhere at all,
So I had a cuppa mo.
Well right said Fred of course I know the reason
It was pure and simple, the bags was [...]

University Challenging
I really enjoyed watching ‘University Challenge’ this year. This comes as something of a shock to me because in the past I’ve loathed the programme with a vengeance.
I only needed to hear the theme music and like Pavlov’s dogs I would react; knuckles going white, snarl coming from lips, vein throbbing in forehead. You get [...]
