TV Highlight of The Week...

Definition of LOL (from the last episode of "Episodes")
NEARLY as good as the fight scene from Bridget Jones - between our Colin and our Hughie...

(oh, and just in case nobody else watches this - it hasn't had GREAT reviews but I liked it) the bottles being thrown are "How U Doin'" Aftershave samples... enjoy!

As if men need another excuse to ‘Go’ anywhere they damn well like…

I don't often LOL at catalogue e-mails, but this part of the 'Dobies of Devon' (seeds for the discerning gardner type) mail had me snorting into my Typhoo this afternoon as I read it...
And I'm pretty sure they're talking about the menfolk here becasue I'd imagine if the lady of the house was caught with her pants down over her compost heap, there'd be a whole new meaning to the "Neighbourhood Watch".

PEE TO HELP YOUR GARDEN GROW
Most of us know all about the benefits of composting, and many of us are aware that urine can help to speed up the composting process. Now a National Trust property in Cambridgeshire have taken this to its logical conclusion and are urging people to relieve themselves outdoors to help gardens grow greener. Head gardener Philip Whaites is urging his male colleagues to pee on the straw bale to activate the composting process on the estate's compost heap. He said the "pee bale" is only in use out of visitor hours, since "we don't want to scare the public". Indeed. Read more, if you wish, on the BBC site. On a similar note, the Daily Mail reports that tomato growers can enrich the soil and therefore their plants using their own wee. Must be something in the water.

Garbage?
No - LOLage!

Tee Hee!

That's the Wonder of E-Bay!

There’s not much will make me laugh gleefully whilst driving home from a hard slog at the office*. Terry Wogan (as I think I mentioned previously) will make me chuckle on the way INTO work – when I don’t know what seventeen types of horror await me once I get there – but on the way home? At 1pm?
There’s a scintillating choice of either the local Radio’s Lunchtime disco which you have to be in the mood for and not mind the occasional slam into an advert for second hand cars or carpets at discount prices; or else there’s Jeremy Vine going on about something morbidly miserable and listening to his callers whining on about how unfair something is and having a cut-throat argument with another equally irate caller on Line 2. During which you can never hear either argument because the other invariably rants ferociously over the first. It’s not Radio. Its reality TV with the picture turned off.
Bah.
So I wasn’t expecting the News to herald anything of interest other than someone else getting killed somewhere and/or another Salami sweeping somewhere else and Gording (Effing**) Brown saying something disturbing about the state of our economy. Like he knows what’s wrong with it – er…hello?
So thank God for the ten year old girl who listed her Grandma for sale on E-Bay, that’s all I can say. And thank God equally that I had a pack of Handy tissues in the car to soak up my wails of wet hilarity as I drove home. Now that’s what I CALL entertainment.
Which ludicrously lovely story reminded me of another guy who got so bored trawling through items on E-bay that he listed the cup of tea he was drinking and took a photo of it, throwing in the half-eaten biscuit he was dunking into it at the time as well.
He got £2.50 for it.
Not a bad morning’s boredom.
And the World has the cheek to slag off the British sense of Humour – ha! I say to The World - Suck my biscuit and buy my Granny!

*Ok then, more a large room in which I am surrounded by bits of coloured paper, pritt sticks, staple guns and a myriad of wildly fascinating people.
** Not precisely mine, but the opinion of the main character in the Teenage thing I’ve just written. Gah – teenagers, eh?!

The cure for writer's arse - at last!

With so many thanks to fellow writing interweb friend, Emily, who put this on her blog today. Honestly I can't remember not being able to stop crying with laughter quite so much before!

Do NOT be drinking anything while you watch this!

With thanks to writing buddy Fionnuala for putting this on her blog here: I had to spend a while wiping my screen after watching this. Five times. It just gets funnier!

Oh, so true!

Totally Funny!

Very nearly needed Tena Lady during this!
Be warned.
