England are out and the world just rolls forward..

If you have been hiding in a hole for the past few weeks and or have not an ounce of interest for football, then England crashing out will not be a major issue for you.

I do not want to re-iterate the painful scoreline on these pages, but surely now the age old joke- 'don't mention '66 world cup' has been completely and absolutely ripped from our tongues. It'll be now the German's who'll be saying 'don't mention 2010 world cup to the English' for the next 4 or 40 years!? Well I think the footballers should do the decent thing and cut their paychecks by...say.. 90% and give the money to good use like the employment of graduates and TALENTED young people (even though I say so my self!)

Ahh well enough of the football for now, I've been scouring the Internet to find something interesting to write about.

Came across this article on the Independent website. Geez that means I have to start writing sober-damn, not so fun any more this writing malarkey (haha, kidding really I'm not much of a drinker and have never touched the evil drugs.

Surely no one could have believed that creative writing was indeed induced by the consumption of alcohol and drugs. One simply just has to look at the state a person becomes, generally after taking these substances on a recreational level. The individual most certainly becomes incoherent, unable to remember their names, let alone spell them. So therefore, they could not have been capable of writing incredible literary works, whilst intoxicated.

Hahaha, aww this is a sweet article. Giant Rabbits as pets, that's 50 quid well spent I think. I wonder if they an move about as freely as normal sized rabbits? what's not to say they are actually normal sized and the smaller ones are actually dwarfs of their kind?? Now I'm just being silly I know.

I think this needs to be looked asap. Diplomatic immunity is being abused so much in this country, Why cant it be like in the TV series CSI, they seemed to almost always nail the sodding characters. They are clearly not abiding by the laws of the land, and don't seem to care about their behaviour at all. If the shoe were on the other foot, our embassy staff abroad would be done up like kippers, if found to have done something ridiculously stupid, like j-walking!

Do you agree with this list? What would keep and add something else?

Great reads these lot, personally I've still got a fair few more to add to my reading list.

I feel I have to end this piece with a funny satire video, a cartoon parody of the worst song ever to have been aired to the public, the horror they must have felt coming over them when it started- ugh unbearable to think about it.

This link about William Shatnar, I'd most certainly never would have admitted in hind-in side- if I were this person.  The most cringe worthy of tracks released by this actor in the 70's was quite frankly horrid.

I'll finish by letting stewie from 'Family Guy' sing it in his squeaky voice. TTFN

In the news this week....

Trawling through the pages of news online, I found myself chuckling at a couple of headlines. One, although not immediately funny, as you read the story it clearly has comedy scene written all over it. The line read 'Woman caught after trying to smuggle a body on plane', and as you read the article, it turns out an elderly relative had died while travelling with them and instead of reporting to the local authorities here, the woman tried to wheel him through customs and put sunglasses on him to cover the fact that he was dead!

Bless the German woman, she ought to have known better than to use SUNGLASSES in rainy England as a disguise! Excuse the pun, but that in itself is a dead give away. Reading the story, sure sounded like something out of a film.

Funny news is not always home bound, the Aussies have a fair few nutters to boast about too.
The inmates figured that, they were already inside doing time, a bit more couldn't hardly make a difference. All for a dish we take for granted- A Pizza!

I would love to have seen this happening for myself! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/uknews/7450365/Funny-headlines-from-the-South-London-Press-newspaper.html?image=5

How could have they possibly done it? Came in, in the shadow of darkness, with masks to cover their identity and held a knife to the man did they?? Haha :D

With all the buzz about the election, something out of the ordinary sure puts a smile on even the stressed out politicians. Talking about election coverage, I cant wait for the analogies and the ways the media are going to try to make the coverage of the election simple and understandable for the benefit of the public watching.
