Reduced Family, Increased Family

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

“It’s an old cliche about not losing a daughter, but gaining a son, but in this case it really is true”

Or in my case gaining a brother. Yesterday my little sister Suzanne got married to Alec, possibly the loveliest bloke in the world and the best brother -in-law you could wish for.

This does mean that the tiny number of Chilestones in the country – “There are probably more people killed in yoghurt, cream, marshmallow and fluffy thing accidents each year than there are of you” says yournotme.com when searching for my last name only. The search is on for the next one.

What a weekend

Nous Sommes Allons A Londres!

We’re off to London for my little sister’s wedding.

Catch all you G’s and hustlers next week.

M-m-m-milton Keynes

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Yesterday I went with Nick to deliver a package to Weedon, Northants. Plans were afoot to have a meander to Stoke Bruern – you know you’re not in East Anglia anymore because there’s hills, and enough hills to necessetate a large flight of locks on the canal.

Anyway, after a wander around and coffee in Northampton, where we got talking to two young girls who asked us to buy them fags and visited the six-time winner of the Loo of the Year award,we produced lunch in the form of Mexicana cheese, lettuce and sundried tomato mayo sandwiches and, as the weather was turning miserable, adjourned to Milton Keynes to indulge in our new passtime of Mallrattery. A tall order in England, some might think, (you can’t truly be a Mallrat in Cambridge’s Grand Arcade, and only just in Peterborough’s Queensgate) but with the mile-long Centre:MK almost on your doorstep – maybe slightly shorter an order.

“Stop Quoting Wikipedia, Half The Time It’s Not Even Accurate!”

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Lazy reporter basis article on nonsense Wikipedia facts. Nonsense removed. Nonsense reposted citing nonsense-based article.

The Register has it.

That’s the problem with the internet isn’t it – make something up, get someone else to cite it and it becomes fact.

Lol Interlinking

Favourite Lolcat so far, except for Alec’s concept of Blaxploitation Cat.

There’s Hope For The Internet Yet

Monday, October 13th, 2008

miley_cyrus_toplessSomeone I was chatting to online recounted the tale of the Miley Cyrus topless picture. Much worse than all the recent dodgy iPhone pics, because this time the then-fifteen-year-old has got her nips out.

So he thought he’d go looking for it to see who exactly was dangerous enough to post it uncensored. The answer? No-one. He couldn’t find it, only the censored versions.

So maybe the internet isn’t quite as depraved as you thought eh?

Of course, there’s not so much hope for Miley Cyrus. I give it three months before there’s a sex tape, very very wrong.

Update: The pictures turned up very very quickly. Turns out it was some 18-year-old look-almost-alike. Hmmm.

Punditry

Monday, October 13th, 2008

A while ago, three people sat up all night making puns on subjects as obscure as marine life, railways and wood – just to upset a fourth person.

Since then we’ve been trying to out-pun each other at every oppurtunity, and who doesn’t love a great pun? Check out That’s Punny.

Meet Hot Girls!

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

My Facebook status says I’m single, which I indeed am. This means I get bombarded by adverts for various apps and external sites telling me that I must be single & bored, single & lonely, single & frustrated, wanting to meet hot girls in my area – right now!!

But while I am sure that many single people are extremely interested in this rhubarb – my flatmate being one of them, until recently spending a lot of time on Social Me – I really couldn’t give much less of a shit. (more…)
