First Attempt
There are those who say that Leicester is shit, and they may have a point. However, we do have Sue Townsend, who’s latest Adrian Mole novel has been recently published to great acclaim. I was particularly tickled to read in this one that Mole’s mother is writing an entirely spurious misery memoir with the title A Girl Called Shit.
Brilliant as the Mole books are, I had assumed that they wouldn’t travel well, being so firmly located as they are in their Leicester setting and commenting so much on events in Britain. For that reason, I was gratified to read this rave review of the new book from Canadian writer Cory Doctorow.
Vegemite Contest Draws Protests
They’ve managed to make a crap spread taste even more crap. Genius.
Pitchfork reports (via BBC News) that on Monday morning, British police arrested former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown on suspicion of spousal abuse.
As horrible as this news is, it does not diminish the fact that the Stone Roses made the greatest album in the history of recorded music.
I’m not rising to that last statement. You’ll get no response from me. Oh no, not at all. As for Mr Brown, I make no comment as to his guilt or innocence on this current matter. However, he does have a bit of previous for threatening behaviour.
This Scottish Tunnock tea cake will be in my belly in less than one minute.
I photo’d the packaging for SteveR.
The Tunnocks tea cake is very Scottish, I’d never say otherwise. The correct way to eat one is shown here. I hope you followed this procedure.
Nom nom nom. Scotland rocks!
Never thought I would eat a prawn cocktail flavored chip this week.
Firstly, I’d like to respectfully point out that Walkers crisps are not in the least bit Scottish. They are made in the fair English county of Leicestershire. Secondly, Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps are quite genuinely disgusting. The same company’s Smokey Bacon flavour crisps are much better.
The Weedy Sea Dragon
From the current BBC series Life, here’s some amazing footage of an incredible-looking sea creature.
Cheerleader Gets A Flu Shot & Now She Can Only Walk Backwards!
This report is a load of toss! I’ve rarely seen such nonsense in my life, yet people have fallen for it in their thousands. Here’s what the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation says about the case:
“Because of the concern of individuals with dystonia as to whether or not to get a flu shot because of this reported case, we have sought the opinion of dystonia experts on this case. Based on the footage that has been shared with the public, it is their unanimous consensus that this case does not appear to be dystonia.’
Here’s quite an interesting analysis of the case by a proper neurologist.
This will surely move me up to the top of SteveR’s Tumblr crushes.
Watch out AA.. I’m comin atcha!
“Liked” and reblogged.
Self diagnosis for Jinn possession and the Evil Eye
“Erratic behavior in one’s words, deeds and movements.
Sitting in the toilet for a long time, and talking to oneself
Frightening nightmares, which includes seeing varies kinds of creatures such as ghosts or apparitions, seeing oneself falling from a high place, seeing people in strange forms and snakes, A man may see a women who wants him to have intercourse with her (and vice versa ) constantly in his dreams and may see someone threatening him .
Talking loudly in one’s sleep, or moaning or groaning.”
I’ve had all of those.
