Unintentional Porn

Today I found a website called 'Unintentional Porn'. This picture is from there!!!!

Oh How I laughed :)

Plenty More Fish

I've just read Dan's blog and it would appear that somebody in her life is being a bit of a twit with her. Reading between the lines I am assuming it's her fella. Now, I quite like him - which is a bit of a result - as any parent of any daughter will know that anybody who turns up without a white horse and a huge fairytale castle isn't quite going to make the grade...(Christian - please note! - you will need that information in due course for Alice and Amelia), however I'm not going to be enamoured with somebody who isn't treating my Princess properly - am I? Dan is a very level headed girl - easy going - and she puts up with a lot! So for her to express her frustration on her blog means that she is well and truly pissed off!!!

So here's a message for her - and for anybody else out there who is frustrated with their significant other. (This information is reproduced by kind permission of her Dad who told it to me about six months ago).

There are about 60 million people in the UK. Half of them are male. Let's say a third of them are married, that leaves 20 Million menfolk. Imagine that 3/4 of them are too old or too young for you. We're now down to 5 million. Let's say that only 5% of them live within your geographical area - that's 250,000. (For Dan at 19 - her geographical area should be within 30 miles of where she lives - as you get older your area increases - 45 year old women are prepared to go as far as 400 miles for a decent bloke!) Let's say half of them are complete mingers - the type you wouldn't touch with somebody else's barge pole! That leaves 125,000. 

If we're being really picky and we have a long tick list - let's discount 80 % of those - that then leaves us a grand total of 25,000 blokes that she could possibly search through to find a boyfriend. I think she might just find a few dates amongst that lot don't you?

So - the moral of the story is this - at 19 - when you're as fab as she is - and her boyfriend is treating her in a crap way - GO OUT AND FIND ANOTHER ONE  - who will treat you like the Princess Shiny Diamond that you are xx

Get set for the weekend!!

I am looking forward to a great weekend. Friday night I am off to GBK for the first time in ages - being totally in love with food that is a real treat for me :) I can hardly wait...Giddy!!!

On Saturday I'm going to finally buy some new jeans as my favourite ones suffered a massive rip when I bent down last weekend (Big bum?)...

...and then I have something really fab planned for Sunday. A completely 'self-indulgent lazy do-nothing except for the very things I want to do' day. And I'm sharing that day with somebody very, very special.

Fab, fab, fab xx

Things they wish they'd never said

There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.
- Ken Olson, President of Digital Corporation, 1977


The Internet will catastrophically collapse in 1996.’- Robert Metcalfe, internet inventor

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
Thomas J. Watson Snr., IBM Chairman, 1943

Louis Pasteur’s theory of germs is a ridiculous fiction.
- Pierre Pachet
Professor Physiology, Toulouse, 1872



 
All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk. 
- Ronald Reagan, 1980

History Lesson

While researching 'Sod's Law' for the previous post I came across this on a science website which is sponsored by British Gas. (That'll keep your heating bills down a bit). It's amazing what you can find on the WWW!

Ripped Jeans

On Sunday I bent over and a huge tear appeared in the nether regions of my favourite jeans. I love those jeans - so my question is...is it okay to go up to Town wearing ripped jeans? (providing I am wearing suitable undies of course?)

A watched pot.....

...never boils - or so we're told! This morning I am busily processing and burning DVDs - which on a Mac is quite easy and straightforward - if rather time consuming. However, me being me (control freak?) I cannot just walk away and let the machine get on with it. The movies are about an hour long and movie encoding happens in real time (more or less) so each dvd needs a minimum of an hour. 

There's a lot I could do with an hour - shower, do my hair, get my slap on (scaffolding?), walk the dog, go to the supermarket, etc etc - but I cannot bear to leave the machine unattended. My Mac has never given me a problem while burning DVDs - but even so - sod's law dictates that if I went to get in the shower you can guarantee that it would crash or some catastrophe would happen.

Talking of Sod's law - apparently (or so I'm reliably informed by somebody brainy who has a science degree) buttered toast doesn't always fall buttered side down....(it does in Tracy's World) ...according to science - it's quite random how it will fall!!! Fancy that!
