Blog My Wiki

I catch myself saying “well, blog my wiki!” about 23 times a week, whenever I hear or read some particularly excruciating Web2.0 crap.

So for that reason, and because I think I was blogging before the word was coined, and because I loathe most wikis with a passion (I find them typically utterly confusing and unintuitive) I decided to change the name of my blog.

It’s a fat trap – and you’ve been caught

In our local electrical shop they are selling these amazing contraptions for about 2 or 3 quid. Fat Traps.

Don’t clog up your drains with grease and fat – trap oily waste in this cunning plastic tub with a lid!

Or, alternatively use an old jam jar or milk carton and save money and waste.

Sheesh. Whatever next? Perfumed bags for disposing of dirty nappies?

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

A colleague of mine has just pointed this out to me.

“Don’t be sad when it’s pouring down with rain. At least the people standing in the streets hassling you to give money to charity are getting soaked.”

(Complaints should be addressed to Jeremy Morgan c/o Space Age Bachelor Pad No.23, London).

No, man

In need of a chuckle, I was going to get myself a copy of Yes Man by Danny Wallace.

But then I saw someone reading it on the train and it says on the cover:

“THE MAN’S A GENIUS!”

In slightly smaller type underneath it tells us who supplied this helpful comment.

Davina McCall.

Which is like a book on chastity being recommended by Peter Stringfellow.
