A very annoying day!

Yesterday was an absolutely brilliant day, even although I had to stand in a queue at a bar for about fifteen minutes listening to two very loud Americans having this conversation:
1st American: “Do you think they sell food in these places?”
2nd American: “Sure do, hon. Don’t you recall us being here on our last visit?”
1st American: [...]

Miracles do happen

I've just had a look at Stephanie Quilao's Back in Skinny Jeans blog, where she draws attention to Janet Jacksons recent unbelieveable amazing weight loss. Seemingly, it only took Ms Jackson fours months to go from this: to this:
Stephanie (a self-confessed fan of Janet) questions whether this svelte new figure (complete with six pack) was [...]

Bad album covers can kill

 
It’s true, because I almost choked to death on a mouthful of water today when someone drew my attention to the above image on The Museum of Bad Album Covers site.
 Now think about it. You are a woman. You are a singer. More than that, you are a conventional-type woman singer (as opposed to the Courtney [...]

It’s all her fault

 I’ve just been reading in the Metro that IVF mothers are ‘putting babies’ lives at risk’. Seeminly these uncaring monsters women have a higher risk of developing a condition where the placenta covers the cervix and cuts off the oxygen supply to the embryo. Later on in the article it is mentioned  that this condition is ‘quite [...]

Boo

boo.com is back (well, that's what someone is trying to tell us).
Anyone who's had even the vaguest notion of going into business for themselves will almost certainly have heard of boo.com. The company went belly-up in a spectacular fashion just months after launching their state-of-the-art online clothes store in the late 1990's (but not before they managed to [...]

Moving on

I've just been reading a thought-provoking post on Petites blog. She was saying that it was a year to the day that she got up the courage to admit to her partner (and father of her child) that their relationship wasn't working and it was time she moved on. She's had a pretty eventful and [...]

Glasgow vs Edinburgh via Big Brother

Don’t worry, I’m not going to write much about Big Brother 7 here (yet) *evil laugh* but this programme is going to be almost unavoidable in the UK for the next few months. Even people such as ourselves, who shun such low-level so-called entertainment and prefer to spend our leisure hours in more cerebral pursuits [...]

They all go away

 It’s happened again. Every single time I find a blog I like they announce, or are just about announce, that they’re giving up. Take the phenomenon that is Pomme and Kelly, for instance. I found them after a great deal of intensive research and much trial and tribulation (I clicked on the Top Blog section on [...]

I love my glasses

Everyone tells me they love my glasses. I love my glasses. My glasses are cool. People tell me my glasses make me look intelligent (what are they trying to say — that I look stupid without my glasses?). I get treated differently when I wear my glasses. More respect.  Men like women in glasses.  It makes [...]

Obsessed

That's it — I'm never, ever ever ever EVER going to get the bloody categories thing to work. Everyone else can but I never will. Even if I'm doing this blog in ten years time and I post a hundred times a day, the 'categories' section will remain blank blank blank. I repeat — BLANK.
