Well, I must have been a happy bunny for the last few weeks, as I haven’t posted for a while. But today was a dark, dark day for me. Note the date: 26th August. Today I heard the first mention of a new series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. It was on the Breakfast news this morning, although quite what it …
Bowls of wood???
I’m out of work at the moment and every time the little lady walks out the door on her way to work I must admit that I do feel little pangs of guilt (now and then). So, yesterday I decided I’d better do my bit and make an effort to help around the house. I’d do the vacuuming and dusting. …
How do they know?
Now here’s one that’s been bugging me for years. Perhaps someone out there knows the answer. If so PLEEEEASE post a comment! You know when there’s a big accident or a grizzly murder and there is hardly anything left of the poor bugger to name them from? So the forensic peeps turn to dental records to identify the body – …
The Holywood Swallow.
Who shall I have a go at today? I know! Those idiots who throw their heads back when swallowing an aspirin or some such other pill. What the fuck’s all that about? “Oooh, it’s hard to get down”, I’m told. Bollocks! An aspirin’s about as small as you can get (except for a microdot… so I’m told!). What about when …
Superstitious?
Well I’m not, but… As I was getting out the shower yesterday, there was a hair in the bath formed into a perfect pound symbol. Now does that mean I have money coming to me, or a big bill to pay? I’ll let you know when it happens. Meanwhile, back to the Twilight Zone. Do do do do, do do …
Bloody bees!
There has been a recent report by scientists about the alarming drop in the number of the bee population. The reason for the demise of bee colonies, they say, is unexplained. Well, they haven’t looked very far. For I can reveal today where all the bees have disappeared to. Now the warmer weather is coming, I have started opening the …
What’s happened to fruit?
I was walking past the market yesterday and was enticed by all the lovely displays of fruit. Now, I don’t buy much fruit any more because it’s generally shit. But this looked so good, I succumbed to the appetising display of colours – reds and yellows and pinks and greens, orange and purples and blues – thank you Cilla. I …
Goody – do we really need it?
The TV news is at it again this morning, no doubt the radio too but I haven’t listened. Jade Goody has died of cancer. This story took up the first 13 minutes of BBC News 24’s bulletin this morning and was mentioned another three times in the next half hour. Why? Check the stats. About 425 people die from this …
Super wank word!
OK, this one completes my week of wankwords, and what a super one it is! Saturday’s (super) wankword is: Standardised Mortality Ratio. WTF? Anyway, this is getting a bit boring now, so before I leave the subject I’ll just let you know about another version of Wankword Bingo I’ve found. It’s the Wankword Challenge. Quite simple really. If you and …
Wank word!
Friday’s wankword: Empowering Technology.
