Remember Etch-A-Sketch? Well, so people have FAR too much time on their hands when they start doddling on one. Take Michael McNevin, for instance. Amazing drawings. He must be single.

Oh, this is simply brilliant: Dear Penis…. Have your speakers on though (and don’t worry, it’s only a song…

I’m currently completing a extended 12 hour shift at work (someone decided to call in sick, bless em), so I’ve been rummaging around for 2 matchsticks to prop up my poor eyes. Sadly, I didn’t find any. However, IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when a mouldy cabbage was found in a small cupboard in my office. We really should employ some cleaners…
Ooooh, Barclays Update: The ?65 a billed them has landed in my account, together with a letter saying sorry. Sadly, the don’t seem to have even touched my loan account, currently accruing severe unwarranted interest. I feel another letter coming on…

Well, on Friday Michelle and I have returned from a thoroughly enjoyable 2-day London trip, visiting Harrods, TGI Fridays, Leicester Square and Kensington, and staying in a rather corking hotel. And a visit to a Thai restaurant. It was, frankly, wonderful. And all paid for by Michelle. THANK YOU MICHELLE! However, here are a few tips for visiting the huge place:

Travelling around London – The prospect of your travelling day running smoother than a pair of Ulrika’s tights is about as likely as Barry White at a singles party. Out of the 5 trips I made in two days, every one was interrupted by signal and train failures. Even visiting Americans, normally totally in love with the place, muttered expletives and vowed never to visit again. Truly stunning.

The Tube – You think the overcrowded, illegally hot, mucky, rat-infested and maze-like underground tube system is bad now? Try next February, when the Traffic Congestion Charge rolls into town. All those hundreds of thousands of lovely, car-loving commuters will be spooned lovingly down the stairs and onto the Tube. It’s like a game of sardines, only you’ll want to cry.

Blowing your nose – Never do it after you’ve been on the fume-filled tube. The sheer blackness of it all will instantly label you a concerted smoker, even if you’ve never been near the blasted cancer-sticks in your life.

Visit Harrods – It may be illegally owned by an Egyptian grocer, but it’s seriously top draw. The gold and marble-covered escalators really are the pooch’s privates. And if nothing else, you should visit purely because it’s the only shop I know where spending a penny costs a pound.

London residents sense of distance – I suppose, if you lived in London, you’d have the necessary cash to hail taxis, and the necessary time to use public transport. But for visiting bods like Michelle and myself, walking was the only option, and asking how far some landmark was is like asking John Leslie for a quick snog. SIMPLY WRONG. “Just about a mile up that way, sir” smiled a friendly doorman. 2 1/2 miles later, we arrived, legs like stumps and gasping for air.

BMW’s Easter Egg – a secret, undocumented feature in the BMW M3. If the buttons and pedals are pushed in the right order, the car launches you from a standing start at 5000 revs. WOW! I want one.
