Had opportunity to do a little surfing before I got to work today, thought you might find this really amusing: Greatest Prank Call Ever. I have -got- to get me one of those.

Glimpsed a snippet of video tonight about Paul McCartney talking about Liverpool being the European Capital of Culture for 2008.

What is with his hair? It looks like a bloody ugly rug. Surely such a wealthy man could afford a better one? Or for that matter, surgery for plugs or whatever they have these days.

My god this stuff is amazing.

Crunchie Bar Ice Ceam

  • 2 large tubs of double cream
  • 2 tins of condensed milk
  • 9 crunchie bars

Whisk the cream in a dish until nearly thick, then add condensed milk and whisk gently until smooth. Then add the crunchie bars which have been rushed quite small. Put in a lidded container (or multiple containers) and freeze for 7-8 hrs (resisting the urge to crack one open and eat some). PS: make sure the crunchie bars are stirred in well and evenly distributed.

It is AMAZING what a little bit of time and some well spent money can do. .

That is one of the best makeovers I have ever seen, not that I’ve seen any since I can’t stand those kinds of TV shows, but its bloody impressive…

I had cause to write to the local police, the , recently.

It was regarding a query as to whether or not a certain license fee was real or was a scam. I’ll write more about that in the next day/week. You may be slightly sickened by it.

Anyway, I filled out the General Enquiry form as directed, lots of text explaining it all. I pressed submit and voila, Microsoft database error. There’s a surprise.

So I filled in the Website Feedback form. I haven’t heard anything since (as of this writing, that’s three days) but then again I don’t think I actually expected anything. I seriously hope that this is not an example of Lincolnshire policing… that being said, I’ve been back in Louth for a year and a half and only really seen a copper or cop car when it was Friday night at 12 midnight.

I caught this the other day and I was nearly pissing myself laughing. It’s for lunchbox minis and at first you think it’s the run of the mill animated advert, but, as you see, there is a twist.

– it’s hilarious!

Today, the almighty leader of Pakistan, the (sahib) President , announced that if re-elected he would quit as head of the Army.

My how generous of the General President! Reading between the lines though, what it means is, if not re-elected he will remain as head of the Army and if he doesn’t like the way things are run, engage in another coup and make himself President again. Nice democracy there in Pakistan, isn’t it?

Mind you, a strong dictator that does a fairly good job is better than a bunch of inept and cruel religious figures (read: Taliban) with their fingers on the nuclear button…

Browsing the news sites for anything interesting, you actually do find things that are not just interesting, but highly amusing. In this case, it might be amusing to me or you, but maybe not to her, as you’ll read.

It was on CNN, an article about sleep problems. The one that caught my eye was sexsomnia. Hmm, wonder what that is? You apparently exhibit signs of some stages of sex during your sleep, moaning, masturbation, taking your clothes off, or in extreme cases, sex while sleeping. As this lady finds out:

One woman didn’t realize that her husband was suffering from Sexsomnia for months. Finally one night, she clued in when she noticed something different about her husband while they were having sex: he was snoring.

Yeah, you’d think that might be a sign of disinterest in sex, but not necessarily I suppose…

I just hope any males reading this don’t use it as an excuse though. ‘Oh sorry love, I must have been asleep, it’s my sexsomnia…’

For the longest time I thought that OJ was guilty of murdering his wife. I mean, given everything that we heard from the trial, the evidence, the stupid winks and nods ever since and that ridiculous book (which thank God they didn’t publish), just adds up.

Then you begin to think after all this time that maybe, possibly, there is something that might give you reason to think he didn’t do it.

And then, OJ goes and does something absolutely moronic, such as getting involved in a . Stupid, stupid, stupid.

3 – nil! thhhhreeeeeee – nillllll!

Ok ok, it wasn’t -that- great a match, and the Russians really made it a bit easy for us. I caught bits and pieces of it and most of the end. I was disappointed in Wright-Philips though, he kept trying to kick the ball into the box and it went everywhere, back to Russian defenders, back down the field, I mean the man needs to look where he’s kicking once in a while…

Other than that, nice goals. Ferdinand’s was a bit better than the others. I think that *fingers crossed* we’ve got this group sewn up.
