Oh The Humanity!

When will this endless slaughter end?
Huge props to Orac, where I first saw this.

I'm At Risk Of Developing A YouTube Habit

At the risk of sounding like the idiot teenager from the fast show



Isn't YouTube Brilliant, it hosts loads and loads of content from original stuff like the smiley bit above to the wee films I took on holiday recently to copyright infringement stuff like the fast show bit to the bits the beeb is actually pushing like the BBC2 idents in the last post.

Of course as most of its users seem to be semi literate 14 year boys the comments on most of the films are shite. I've decided that I'm all for free speech but only if the person taking advantage of this right, can prove to the satisfaction of an independent authority they can write in their native language without resorting to text speak.

Apart from them idiots, YouTube rocks

I love it.

Nevermind...

The Lancaster bomber over Cambridgeshire have you seen the supersized bug over Germany?

Diary Of A Nobody

This fine fine comic novel has been published on t'internet. I strongly suggest that it is required reading by all bloggers and now it is in super trendy electronic form there is no excuse for not doing so.

Found via Gordon.

While I'm at it, another book that I would strongly recommend to anybody is Cold Comfort Farm it's a masterly comic piece from the 1930s which as the plot develops, (girl meets disorganised and melodramatic farm and farmers. Girl organises farm and farmers into rational beings with nothing more to aid her than good sense and a slender ankle), sends up royally the heaving bosoms, gloom and misery and "fear of forrin" that occurred with monotonous regularity in the works of the likes of Thomas Hardy and DH Lawrence.

Blatent Theft.

I've been catching up on my favourite blogs Joanna has two wonderful links which I am going to blatently knick because they are worth it. Flame warriors and bugs.

Gem No 3?

Not got much to say today haven't even been able to steal an idea ahem I mean been inspired by anything I've seen on the net today.

I did decide to remove the bravenet stat counter as it was not capturing all the hits I was getting and I replaced it with the globe visitors map.

I did find this though Conservatives for American Values through blog explosion. It's a spot on satire of far right Christian fundlementalist websites and blogs that you keep coming across if you flick through any blog list for too long. Well at least I sincerely hope it is.

Appraisal

I probably won't be able to do much tomorrow (today in fact) as I'm returning the cat to my mother's and then we are going out for dinner with my Aunt. So I'm sticking up the appraisal now.

RAF Appraisal Of The Day

1st RO on SAC FFTR

"To conclude, SAC ****** has decided to terminate his life and career within the RAF for employment with the police force".

On which the 3rd RO comments:

"Contrary to the 1st RO's belief, SAC ****** wishes to terminate his RAF career, not his life".

Appraisals

One of the first people to leave a comment on the blog was Palace fan thats going to be a Dad. Palace Fan has a joke of the day, fact of the day and baby news of the day. A nice idea I thought I might nick some of those ideas myself, though not the baby news of the day as I'm not going to get pregnant just to fill a blog!

What I thought I might do is use some of the funnies I get sent. Hey, why write something myself when I can recycle someone else's work? I am a sloth!

You may have seen the comments that have been allegedly culled from staff reports. A classic one is about an Army Officer "His men would follow him anywhere but only out of curiosity" I got sent a list of RAF ones so here goes

• Appraisal of the day.

Comments of the 3rd Reporting Officer - Generally very sensible in his outlook, he has been involved in a few bizarre incidents, mainly associated with beer and bicycles, which have resulted in him sustaining some personal injuries. I'm glad to report that such incidents are becoming far less frequent, mainly because he now shows a more reasoned and consistent judgment, but also because people are less prepared to lend him their bicycles.

Blog Wars

I am a great fan of the blogs of Becky EnVérité, Siobhan Curran and Miss K. All three produce beautiful looking websites/blogs, are far better writers than I am and create fantastic pictures to illustrate their blogs/sites.

Today Ms E and Ms Curran have been engaged in a battle of posts over who produced the first trannie blog, Becky has claimed to have invented the indifference engine so that she could be the first t'blogger and Siobhan to have been blogging in the middle ages!

However I think they may have been both pipped to the post by Joanne Nicholls who has found evidence in Cave-tgirl paintings. (Click here. You have to scroll down a little to see what I mean but it's worth it)

But I would like to point out is that although Becky may have invented the "indifference engine", the first computer programme was written by a G-girl... come on down Ada Countess Lovelace

BMW v Skoda

I was lucky enough to get a lift to work this morning. The colleague who picked me up is a very sweet kind lady, but not shall we say the most up to date about cars.

As we were driving round a roundabout a old scruffy B reg 5 series BMW shot out in front of us.

Me "Ah well, maybe 'cos it's an old car he doesn't care."

Kind colleague: "Or because he's driving a BMW, they seem to think they own road."

We drove on for a few moments

Kind colleague: "Or it could be Skoda drivers, I always get the two confused, their badges are so alike."
