Radiohead drummer Phil Selway is to run the London Marathon 2002. But he couldn't organize a night out in a brewery. Oh, I get ya! 'Run' it!

Holland has become the first country to legally allow euthanasia. Now all we've got to do is get Margaret Thatcher to go on holiday there.
Abdullah Awad bin Laden, the head of Osama bin Laden's Saudi-based family has died. You see, it's all very well the US having such precise missiles these days but they bombed the wrong seat during their Sunday lunch.

Scottish taxi driver George Steele has earned £12,000 for driving a woman 16,000 miles across America. When they got there the woman said, "No, I meant Texas the DIY place."
Jeremy Paxman is to return the Second World War decoding device, the Enigma machine, to its home at Bletchley Park exactly two years after it was stolen. It's a famous piece of English heritage that's know to churn out total non-sense, so no wonder Jeremy Paxman's got it.

Although I doubt she’ll make the bottom fall out of the market.

Darius Danesh has been dumped by his record label. I did not know they had eaten and digested him.
Emma Bunton and the Spice Girls’ ex-manager Simon Fuller have been seen out together having romantic meals. Let us hope they do not try and make beautiful music together.
A survey says homeowners are planning to spend an average of £1,243 on doing some DIY this spring. And thanks to Changing Rooms half of that money will be spent on MDF and purple felt.
The married soccer star who tried to keep his name out of the papers for his extra martial affairs has been named as Garry Flitcroft. Now we ask the question that’s on everyone’s lips, “So what?”
British women spend less than half the time their mothers did on housework. Which explains why the place looks such a mess.
The Forestry Commission is brightening up its forests because it thinks people are scared by dark woods. And to let the light in they could chop down all the trees.
Two men trying to find their way home from a wedding reception have been arrested for riding a golf buggy along a major road. Like any golf fans they were just playing around.
Geri Halliwell is reportedly spending £1,500 on laser surgery to have two tattoos removed. I say leave the tattoos and get the lasers to remove Geri.
Ten thousand condoms with the Wolves' soccer logo on them will be given out in the West Midlands. It’s the only way they can be seen to score.
We had some record breaking weather over the weekend. Well, record melting, that’s why I prefer CDs. House prices could rise by up to 12% during 2002 as strong demand continues to fuel the booming property market.
The search is on for a family of four to live for a week in the shop window of London department store Harrods. You'd have to be a dummy to do that.

Special Day
The latest big thing in my group of friends is destination weddings. I'm at the age where a lot of my mates are tying the knot and the fancy ones are going for the whole wedding and honeymoon abroad. It's great.
One place I say that does these destination weddings is www.karismahotels.com. They have a series of resorts in Mexico along the Riviera Maya. Indulgence is the key here as you can have your wedding in the setting of the beautiful white-sand beaches of the area. You can indulge with the food too as the resorts have cuisine specialities. It's a great way to make sure your special day even more special.

News Update: Guy Ritchie
- Noise levels at Guy Ritchie's pub are being measured after a series of complaints.
I thought the noise levels would've dropped after a divorce.
Westminster City Council's received 37 complaints about The Punchbowl in central London, since the film director bought it in March last year.
Hey. Leave him alone. Anything that keeps him too busy to make films is fine by us.
A microphone has been attached to a nearby home to measure decibel levels, but the council says it won't be recording conversations.
It hears noise but it doesn't listen to the words? It's like they've invented a computerised husband.

But if a mouse is clever enough to order and espresso it's doing OK in the brain steaks.

A Way To Use The Web
Have you ever had to buy something that is embarrassing? It's the one flaw with the way our capitalist world works. Having to go to a shop to get something that you don't want to be seen with is a challenge. Thankfully, you can get all sorts of things on the web these days. At AllegroMedical.com you can buy things like toilet seat risers.
Think about those two situations. You could go to a store, walk up to the shopkeep and say, "Excuse me. Do you have something that I could put on the loo that would make me sit about three inches higher? You do? Great."
Or you can go to AllegroMedical.com that has a wide range of medical items, place your order, and save yourself all the embarrassment.

Vanessa Hudgens
What what what?High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens' humiliation at the Teen Choice Awards were cut from TV coverage shown last night.
Still, she's had enough humiliation with those naked photos she took. If you haven't seen them, have a Google.
There's nothing wrong with taking a few snaps like that. We've all done it. Now there's an image for you.
Apparently she looked devastated as comedian Dane Cook made jokes about leaked nude photos. He said: "phones are for phone calls".
Yeah, but phones with the internet are for looking at pictures of Vanessa Hudgens.

Hard Assets
Ever heard of 'Monaco Rare Coin'? They are a coin dealer, part of the Monex family of companies. The Monex companies have assisted in over $25 billion in hard asset investments. Hard assets and things you can touch, actual items that the money is invested in.
It makes so much more sense to invest in real items. They exist. You can see and touch what you money ahs bought.
If you have ever bought shares you'll know how strange it is to think that you have you money invested in something that has a value, only when it is sold. It's like it doesn't exist until you sell it.
For more info www.zoomcoin.com has all the details.

Chargers
Have you ever done this: You your phone goes flat as you're in the middle of a call, so you run round trying to find a charger but all you can find is one that doesn't fit? It has all the wrong prongs, or you have all the wrong holes. Either way, you're stuffed.
Well, not any more. Companies including Apple, Nokia and Sony Ericsson have promised to start offering phones that fit a universal charger from next year.
I knew the future would have this. You never saw an episode of Star Trek when Scott was running round saying, "I cannie find the right charger Captain."
The move comes in response to anger from consumers who are landed with chargers with different connections for each phone bought.
And they don't even put a label on them, so you daren't throw any away. I've got drawers filled with wires. In cupboards and drawers, not drawers as in pants. But I have seen an episode of Star Trek where someone had pants filled with wires.
There are more than 30 different chargers in circulation in member states of the European Union, which estimates that 51,000 are lying unused. But they will all use the mini USB connection in the future.
The only downside is the dippy one in the office who never remembers to charge her phone will ask to borrow your charger... and you won't be able to say now.

Red Mercury
Saudi police are investigating the origins of a hoax that had hundreds of people believing that old sewing machines may bring fortune because they contained an elusive, and probably mythical, substance known as red mercury.
Talk about stitched up.
(That's basically all I had on this story, a weak pun. So now I have to read on to see if there's any more insight I can add.)
Saudi published pictures of Saudis proudly posing next to old sewing machines awaiting prospective buyers at traditional markets.
Heck, with the way the stock markets have been performing, they're actually a good investment.
Some buyers were willing to pay up to 200,000 riyals ($50,000, that's about £3.50... probably) for an old Singer sewing machine proven to contain red mercury. They used mobile phones to prove the existence of the red mercury.
They say, if the line cuts off when the telephone is placed close to the needle that proves the existence of the substance.
Or you're on the 3 network, when it would just cut off anyway.
Popular belief in the Middle East has it that it can help uncover hidden gold treasures, though there are other theories which say it can be used to create a nuclear bomb.
The only problem is mercury is an element, so you don't get different types. It's just silver and runny, and that's it.
So those who tried to buy a sewing machine to cash in on the red mercury now find they have nothing but an old sewing machine.
It's the most useless singer since Will Young.

Gold!
Gold. That's where the money is these days.
In a time when all other investments are infamously struggling, a nice tangible investment like mental is coming into its own.
And through the Monex Deposit Company you can make those types of investments. Precious metals like gold and silver can be bought as investments in the form of ingots, but also you can use Monex as your coin dealer and buy gold and silver coins. That way the coin has its face value, and the metal has its value too. It has a price below which it will not fall because of the face value, and the investment can grow because of the price of the metal on the market.
It reminds us of the days when the gold standard was still in use, and if that was the still the case wouldn't we all feel safer?

Cyrus And The Chicken
Miley Cyrus has been praised for adopting a chicken.
Really? Doesn't that seem a little bit like a sub-standard Angelina?
The singer-and-actress has been honoured with a Compassionate Citizen Award by peta2 - the youth division of animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) - after taking home the bird from the set of 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' because she "thought the bird was adorable and needed saving".
And when she gets older she might try to adopt a chicken from Malawi.
Last year, she and her dad, singer Billy Ray Cyrus, found a lost dog in her neighbourhood and stayed with the pooch until it was reunited with its owner.
That's really nice. Unless her dad started singing to in, when it would be a case for the RSPCA.

Ask The Family
A new survey says young women are putting babies before marriage.Is this really a surprise? Surely we could've guessed that. We hear of teenage pregnancy but we don't hear about teenage marriage. It's bound to skew the figures.
The results say women are more likely to give birth before they turn 25 than get married.
That's because no one wakes up after a drunken night to find they're engaged, but knocked up is a different matter.
I'll tell you why this is happened, it's the ban of shotguns being sold. Simple as.
Learning Is Good

Binge Breathing
Just as we get told off for our love of binge drinking (is there really any other type of drinking?) a new bar opens that gives us the perfect excuse.It's a bar where the air is filled with a mist of alcohol. You just breathe it in and you get drunk. That's right, binge breathing!
Just 40 minutes inside the venue – which delivers an intoxicating vapour of gin and tonic – will leave you feeling slightly merry.
But what happens when you're drunk? Does the landlord say, "I think you've had enough. Stop breathing!"
The Alcoholic Architecture bar can be found in Ganton Street, the Newburgh Quarter, central London.
It's makes you feel sorry for the designated drivers. They have to hold their breathe all night.

Facebook Off!
Do you Twitter? Do you Facebook? Are you on MySpace? Basically, I'm asking, do you have lots of spare time?But if you a Facebooker it seems that you are turning into good people. A new study says that Facebook users are now nicer than ever before.
The number of "c***s!" have really dropped off in recent times. It also seems that there are fewer "b*******" on the web now.
There are now almost no "p****s" on Facebook now. I'm thinking of starting a group, "save the p****s". Imagine life without p****s. The c***s wouldn't have such a fun time for a start. And wouldn't that just be a total b******?
The information comes from Facebook Lexicon, a tool launched a year ago that allows users to see how often words and phrases are used in public posts on the social network.
Maybe we're just getting more polite, or maybe there's a fashion in swear words. C*** and F*** are just so 90s.
I think we should spend more time making other words popular. It's like when some odd song gets in the Hit40 because of ironic downloads. I say we focus and make "You Total Remmy" get a place in the top 10 Facebook insults.

Baby Gifts
There are certain ages when things happen. I don't mean those awkward teenage years (I still think bank in horror) I mean you reache an age when everyone you know if buying a house, or everyone you know is getting married. I'm not at the age when a lot of people I know are having kids. Well, the people I know from university are having kids. The people I know who left school had about 15 kids by the time they were 18.
If all around you people have starting families you might need a place where you can buy buy baby gifts. Well, have a look at www.babynest.com and see what you think. Babynest.com helps you track down the perfect gift or tot-related purchase. So, that gets you out of a hole.

Madonna's Big Day
Madonna's expected to find out later today if she'll be allowed to adopt a second child from Malawi. You know, bulk buying.
No, I'm not going to have a pop at Madonna for this because I think it's amazing. She could just site there with all her money and keep her lifestyle to herself.
It's nice that she is willing to open her home and her life to these youngsters.
That last sentence could've been describing her and her new boyfriend.

No Peeking
Local authorities are to have their powers to snoop on us cut back.
Good. If they want to be able to watch people without them knowing they should have to pay the memberships on the websites I have to. Erm, I mean... oh, anyway.
Many authorities are using anti-terror laws to mount covert surveillance operations to track people committing minor offences. Some councils have admitted using the powers to tackle littering and dog fouling.
I don't think you can say dog fouling is a sign of terrorism. No one has tried to bring down the West with a dog poo. No on has thrown a couple of turds at tall buildings in New York.
In future use of spy cameras will have to be signed off by the council leader or chief executive.
Heck, they'll sign anything these days. They must do, how else did they get their expenses signed?

Bridesmaid Gifts
Do you have the big day coming up? The wedding?
There's a lot to do and a lot to plan. Just when you think you have it sorted, you've planned the photographer, you've booked the band, you remembered to date someone and get them to propose to you, you realise there's still something left to do, like get the bridesmaid gifts.
I know, you think, "They get to dress up all nice for a day, what more do they want?" But it's tradition and a wedding is all about tradition.
If you need wedding supplies have a look at The Knot Wedding Shop (the address is weddingshop.theknot.com). It has everything from wedding cameras to cake toppers. And their quick turnaround delivery means that even if something slipped your mind it wont' be too late.

Bank Robber Wants Money 'For People Who Deserve It'
In San Francisco, police investigators were looking for a man who walked into a bank and explained that he was fed up with corporate bailouts, and then mentioned he had a bomb.
Until that bomb part that was just someone filing a complaint.
He said he wanted money that 'would go to people who deserve it.'
Oh, I know who he means, the people who run GM?
The manager withdrew a large amount of cash from a vault and gave it to the suspect, who quickly departed on foot.
I like the sound of that, but I think they'd trace the money if I did it as I'd just pay it into my account. Heck, I deserve it just as much as the people who are getting the bailouts.

Swine Flu Deaths Spark Worldwide Health Alert
Swine flu might be upgraded to some sort of scary super flu. I didn't read the full story on this one, I'll admit that.
What gets me about all the swine flu coverage is the advice we keep hearing. We should use tissues and wash out hands.
Well, we should be doing that anyway. Don't only wash your hands when there's a media-genic flu on the go. A normal winter flu kills hundreds of old people each year and we spread it by wiping our kids snotty faces and not washing out hands. If you try and tell someone about that they think you're being emotionless and you don't understand because you don't have kids.
Really! I don't have grandparents now, but one thing I do remember is that you don't want them to get a nasty flu just because you don't want to wash your snotty kid.
Seriously. Tut.

Medical Shopping
Whether you are shopping for kinesio tape, diabetes test strips, an x2 vest weight vest or even a breast feeding pillow you might prefer to do it from home rather than go into a shop.
Lucky for you, there's a website that provides exactly what you need.
AllegroMedical.com has around 55,000 products available online. It makes them one of the largest online suppliers of these medical items.
They have expanded into slightly different markets too as you can now get fitness equipment and nutritional dietary supplements there too.
And you can get yourself a Free Allegro eCatalog to do your browsing in. The ecatalog also gives you some limited time specials and discounts, so you can make a saving too.

Britney Shears
Britney Spears has turned to gardening to keep her on the straight and narrow.Finally, the people who vandalised the Blue Peter garden have another worthwhile target.
She has turned to a self-help programme called "flower therapy" which uses flower essences to 'balance physical and emotional disturbances'.
We're gonna need a bigger bucket!
Still, if getting into nature will help her it's a good thing. Besides, even if Britney does go off the rails in the garden and start flashing it'll be no more off putting than Charlie Dimmock was.
Big Brother Blogging
Have you been watching Big Brother? Not a lot of people have been but I have tried to stay on top of the stories.
So, I read a few of them on The Sun's website and because I have an account there I posted a few comments that were basically jokes about the stories. (The place I write jokes for doesn't want Big Brother ones this year so they're going spare.)
My comments appeared on The Sun site (like this) so blogged about the comments on my other blog. I linked to some of the pages where my comments appeared.
Then I noticed I got a bit more webtraffic coming from twitter.com/BigBrotherMad
It's Nasty Nick's Twitter page. He linked to my blog, bless.
So I thought I'd link to him on here.
Basically, I'm blogging about a Tweet about a blog I did about the comments I posted on a site about a TV show I'm not even watching.
The internet is great.

The Final Frontier
Not too long till the new Star Trek film comes out. I was reading an article in a magazine about it and they mentioned how it was ahead of its time with the flip-out communicator. The mag said it was the fore-runner to the mobile phone.
Well, there's another way that Star Trek was good at guessing the future technology. The medical tri-corder. It was a small hand-held device that made the doctor's life so much easier. While we don't exactly have the tri-corder yet the PDA is getting there. With the free medical PDA download from Epocrates physicians can have access to medical information wherever they are.
If you are on-call and you want to know if you can prescribe an antibiotic to a patient who is taking Coumadin you can look it up in seconds.
Next stop: Emergency Medial Holograms.
This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.

Greedy MPs' New Rip-Off
MPs are to receive a tax-free payment of almost 25-thousand pounds every year simply for attending Parliament.
What! Even I'd turn up there for that dosh. It's a boring and dull place where you don't enjoy yourself, but isn't that the same description every workplace has? And for that money I'd sit there going, "Mmmmmer!" That's all they do, isn't it?
It's under proposals announced by the Prime Minister. I never understand why politicians are aloud to vote for their own pay rises. That's something we should have a referendum on.

White Van Man Can Land 2 Grand For Canned Van
White Van Men will get two thousand pounds to ditch their old bangers and buy a new vehicle.
Oh good. And then they can drive that like an idiot and think they own the road. At least in the old days when some **nt in a white van cut you up you'd think, "Well, at least he hasn't got an air bag."
But oh no, now we have to give them money. As if it was bad enough that the smarmy bankers have put us in a recession, now the little money we have left goes to some sh** who doesn't pay tax.

VoIP Phone Savings
If you have a business and you don't have VoIP phone systems I think you might be missing out on a way to save money. Have a look at the VoIP phone systems by Xpander at www.xpandercommunications.com because they are simple to use with plug & play functionality. That means not having an on-site IT genius won't be a limiting factor.
They are easy to maintain which can also help you keep your costs low. If you don't have to bring in an expert every time you want to add an extension your savings will soon add up.
But the best thing is the upfront saving. A VoIP system is so much cheaper than an old PBX phone system, so you save from day one.

Apprentice Update
Kimberly Davis was the latest candidate to be fired on The Apprentice. But hey, there's a credit crunch on, so most people are being fires. I don't think she's so special.
It's a shame because she was one of the nicest people on that show. She was up against a loud mouth bully and a woman who looks like Olive from On The Busses, and she LOST! What!
The groups had to come up with a campaign to promote a breakfast cereal and Sr'Alan told the marketing consultant she should have walked the task.
She once described herself has a rough, tough cream puff. Cream puff aren't that tough, so I don't think she was a natural to this food lark.

Cheryl Beats Megan
Cheryl Cole tops the 2009 FHM list of the World's Sexiest Women, which means she's knocked Megan Fox down to second place.
There's no denying that Cheryl is a good looking woman but I have to say, Megan is like a genetic experiment into attractiveness. It's like they took some of Angelina's DNA, added in some stem cells for slightly less freaky lips, removed the subconscious urge to adopt every child around and bang, there you have it.
I imagine it's like Star Wars – somewhere there's a warehouse of Megan clones just waiting to attack. And when they do, it's bad news for Cheryl.

Credit Crunch Fashion
In these times of recession it can seem like you can't afford to spend any money on yourself. Not true. You just have to know what corners to cut.
In fact, I don't call it cutting corners I call it truncating the unnecessary vertices because it sounds much better that way.
One vertex you can lop off is to do with jewelry. If you get costume jewelry you can look good and make a nice saving.
Have a look at www.holstedjewelers.com where they have exclusively designed pieces that would make a perfect gift, especially if the gift was for yourself. They are high quality items but because you are saving on the precious gems you can get something that looks amazing for a price you can afford even during times like these.

Doctor, Who?
Science fiction pin up Gillian Anderson is being lined up to join Doctor Who. She's going to be a deadly enemy to the Time Lord.
From X Files to Doctor Who. She's a nerd's dream. It's a shame they shouldn't get her a role in the new Star Trek film, just as an Enterprise toilet attendant or something. In fact, do they have toilets on the Enterprise? And if they do those suits they wore in The Next Generation must've made having a pee an afternoon's work.
Bosses want Gill alongside the new Doctor, and Johnny Bravo impersonator, Matt Smith. She's play a renegade Time Lady 'The Rani'.
That's if we can see her behind his hair.

Susan Boyle – The Make Over
Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle has already given herself a makeover.
Well, a wash, but it's a start.
The TV show's judges vowed not to change her looks but Susan has a new leather jacket.
As long as no one tells her about eyebrow shaping we'll be fine. But I hope she knows that her success isn't in spite of her looks it's because of them. If some stunner could sing like that we'd say, "Oh well, why don't you go on some Andrew Lloyd Webber reality show and get a proper job?" But when Susan walks on stage you think it will involve growling.
Don't change a thing Susan.

Where's Your Seat Of Learning
Here's some good news for a woman by the name of Jeannie McGuire. She won a Sunny Andrews Award for her commitment to social work. "Nothing special about that", you might think, but she started by doing a degree online in human services from the Capella University.
It just goes to show that, these days, a qualification from an online university can open up as many doors as one from a geographically located one.
If you think about it, there is no reason why a university should be a physical building. It's not about the travel, it's about the things you learn.

Cheryl Cole's Renewed Vows
Footballer Ashley Cole is plotting to whisk his wife Cheryl away to Dubai to renew their vows in the summer.I know some people renew their vows because they like the extra holiday, but he really needs them renewing. Fixing would be another way to put it. By all accounts they have been broken, so it's time to get some new ones.
This time, keep the receipt.
The reason they are going there is because that's the place where he proposed four years ago.
You know it's not going well when just four years later you have to say the same, with the addition... "and this time I mean it."
In-consolable About Sex
According to a new survey, in three men would prefer to play video games than enjoy sex with their other halves.I know someone who's like that. He says he prefers doing something with his Wii than having normal sex. At least I think he meant the Nintendo... eugh!
And nearly 3/4 of blokes said they would give up the chance of a romp with their partners to play a brand new game.
However the same proportion would probably give up an old game to have a romp with a brand new girlfriend. I don't think is about sex vs games, it's about old vs new.
Either way, getting something that's new and on the game is a winner.
Reasons men gave for choosing the PC include that their partners are "hard to please".
That's true. I have been trying to find the hidden crystal for ages and I haven't seen the end of level bad guy yet.
It would be better if women had a top scores display. If, after some really good sex, you got to enter three letters you'd put more effort in.

Beauty School
If you want to go to beauty school houston is somewhere to consider.
They have one of the Regency Beauty Institute campuses. It started out around 50 years ago and since then has spread to include around 30 campuses across nine states. To grow so successfully means you're doing something right.
They have a nice approach to cosmetology education. The campuses are there for learning but also provide a service. Like an upscale salon, you an go there for a discounted salon session. The public gets to save some money, the students get to learn and the business model gets to show how successful it is.

Angelina Jolie's Furry Look
We are worried for Angelina Jolie.
Recently we heard that she's had a few rows with Brad and she's been feeling the pressure of bringing up a whole Benetton advert's worth of kids.
And now she's in the newspaper looking like this...
The newspapers said she looks like she is a grannie. Really? If I had to queue up behind that in a Post Office I'd be happy.
No, I'm not worried about the fact that she looks like a grannie, I'm worried that she's dressing in that much fur. If you stand too close to Prince Phillip like that you're in trouble.

Star Wars - The Musical
I just heard in the news about something that's happening at London's O2 Arena - 'Star Wars: A Musical Journey'.
I looked it up and it turns out it's just The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will play the film score, while extracts of the movies are shown on huge screens.
Oh. I thought it was going to be Star Wars - The Musical. Now that's something I want to see.
Luke singing about how much he wants to leave that crappy planet. Doing his version of "There Is Nothing Like A Droid". R2D2 doing a lead break. And I'm sure The Hut would be a good baritone.

Red Dwarf Is Back
Yey! Brand new episodes of Red Dwarf are getting good reviews. Ooooh, I'm excited. I used to love Red Dwarf in the old days so it's good to see they're back again.
The only problem for me is that it's a 3-part special on TV channel Dave.
I haven't got Dave, but when you have a TV show that includes Lister, I can appreciate why it's a good fit.

Britney Spears Ventilation Issue
Britney Spears has said sorry to fans after smoky conditions at a concert in Canada led to it being delayed.I guess her thighs are still rubbing together then.
A statement issued by the singer says crew members above the stage in
Vancouver became ill due to "a ventilation issue".
It's not the first time it has happened. Often some of the crew will become "ill" at an Amy Winehouse gig because of "a ventilation issue".
And after they stopped being "ill" they got the munchies. Odd that.
Gold
Isn't it odd that gold is the least metal-like of all the metals, yet we love it so much?
It's not the normal metal colour. It's softer. And yet we just love it.
That's desire is the foundations of the economies. And that's why gold coins are still a good investment these days. Monaco Rare Coin is a place where you can invest in precious metals. Gold coins are a great way to do that. The coins have their face value so that's a level below which they can never fall. But the price of gold gives them the investment value.
If you want to dig a little deeper have a look at www.zoomcoin.com

Big Feet
Here's one for the ladies...
Men's feet are getting bigger.
And you know what they say about men with big feet. Big shoes.
Well, that must mean big socks too. And what else do we do with socks? That's right, we pad. So at least we'll look good.
Sales figures show the average male shoe has grown by a size in the last five years.
At this rate by 2031 we'll look like clowns.
Half a decade ago, it was a UK size eight but now it's a nine.
I'm a ten. Oh, I rule! And I'm decimal, so I'm ready for Europe too.
Men's feet are getting bigger.
And you know what they say about men with big feet. Big shoes.

A Good Car Idea
Finally. A pressure group has said automatic speed control devices should be installed in cars to force motorists to stick to speed limits.
I totally agree. We can put a man on the moon and air-brush Sarah Jessica Parker till she looks attractive, so we should be able to get this sorted.
With GPS a car knows where it is, and all it would take is a database to link position to speed limit on that road and you're sorted.
Now, I'm not one of these people who will cry about how evil cars are and say speed cameras should be everywhere, and that's why I like this plan. If people had the ability to know they're not speeding without even looking at the dashboard they can pay more attention to the road making them safer, and no one would get the £60 fine. That way the speed cameras would be too expensive to run and they would get taken down.
No longer would the driver be used as a source of funds and we'd all be safer. How can that not be a good idea?
Of course, it would cost the authorities a lot of money in missed revenue, so I'm not holding my breath for it.

Online Shopping
If you prefer the peace and quiet of shopping online, as opposed to the stress of shopping in real shops and having to deal with surly sales assistants with their attitudes, I don't blame you.
In fact here's a site you might like. It's AllegroMedical.com and it is a place where you can buy medical products like catheters, blood pressure monitors, even a Philips HeartStart Home AED Defibrillator.
If you had to buy those things in an actual shop I'd have no idea where to start? Do Walmart to defibrillator?
There's also an RSS feed you can subscribe to and blog to read up on. Maybe it's one to add to your favourites.

Natasha Weddingfield
Natasha Bedingfield has tied the knot.I think she'll stay married for a long time. At least till her ivory wedding anniversary. That way her teeth and be a gift to her hubby.
The singer married Californian businessman Matthew Robinson in an outdoor ceremony in Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
So her song 'Single' kind of reeks of hypocrisy now. In it she says that she is happy being single and she doesn't need a man. But a few years later she released 'I Wanna Have Your Babies'. Yep, you need a man for that, unless you're skilled with a turkey-baster.

Gisele Bundchen Proves My Point
Have you ever seen a magazine stand in a country like France, Italy or Spain? They have topless woman on the front of normal magazines. Not ever the special top shelf sort we have (although at 6'2" I can't complain).This is Gisele Bundchen on a photo shoot for a Spanish magazine. (Like all pictures on this site, if you click on it you will get a bigger version.) If you got a Christmas gift that badly wrapped, you'd send it back to Santa.
I don't know what heat she is doing her washing on, but she needs to lower it.
But here's some correlatory work for you. The countries that have magazine stands opening showing some boob are also the countries where heart disease is lower than in places like the UK.
It's just as scientifically valid as blaming it on their Mediterranean diet.
So, come on Gordon Brown, there's a law you should be passing straight away.

Wedding Destinations
When it comes to weddings, you only have one. Well, OK. Sometimes you have more than one, but that's not what you're aiming for. Every wedding is done with the intention of it being the only one.
So when you are planning that one and only wedding why not consider destination weddings? Those are the weddings where you go abroad for the actual wedding service. One possible destination is the Mexican Riviera Maya. At the Karisma Resorts there are secluded white sand beaches, and amazing gourmet foods that will make the whole experience one to remember.

Oasis Clothing
Liam Gallagher is launching his own clothing line.
That's great. That means this blog can do its own "Get that look cheaper" section.
Want to get the Liam Gallagher look for less? Just stop washing and shaving and pretend you're going to a fancy-dress party as a member of The Beatles. Not Ringo though. You'd just look like Inspector Clueso.

More Heroes
Yey! Heroes is getting a fourth season. Why, that's a whole year.I'm looking forward to it, and let me tell you why. The TV show Lost has a total crapper of a third season but came back with a fourth that was amazing. (Flash-forwards – brilliant idea)
And Heroes has been a bit ropey for seasons 2 and 3, so 4 must be a great one.
Heroes still has a place in my Heart because of Sky+. I don't Sky+ Heroes, I watch live TV but I can pause it. And as I pause it I scrunch up my eyes and then shout, "Yataa!"

The Knot Shop
We recently spoke about the stress of planning a wedding. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to play down the stress of getting that far. The being single, the dating, the relationship and rows and required work in their own right, but now we're taking it up a notch.
One way I could help you plan your wedding is to tell you about a website that could help. It's called The Knot Wedding Shop and there you will find a wide range of top-quality wedding supplies. They have novelty items there, including things like ring pillows to present the wedding band in style, cake toppers to make it look good, wedding cameras that you leave on the table and the guests use to record the event, and wedding favors too.
All the details are at theknot.com

Ledger's Oscar
Heath Ledger's Oscar will be given to his former fiancée Michelle Williams.
Make sure you get the right one. The actress, not the one from Destiny's Child.
I'm not saying the singer would nick it, but if someone walks up to you and tries to give you an Oscar, you'd probably take it. You'd be thanking people and crying, and you wouldn't think that they might have the wrong person.

Razorlight Drummer Quits
Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows has quit the band. Oh no. What will they do without a drummer? They'll have to use a machine and start to sound like the Pet Shop Boys. Heck, I'd pay to see that.
Apparently it comes after a falling out with lead singer Jonny Borrell.
That's shocking. He'd known Johnny that long and lasted this long before they fell out!
In a statement on the band's website, he says the split's for personal reasons.
Let me guess, "Personally, he thinks Johnny is a tw...""

Flowers
If you have a wedding planned, well, firstly, good luck. But secondly, how do you do it? How do you deal with all the planning and the arranging? It would just boil my brain.
One thing I heard of that can help is to get the wedding flowers sorted by going to www.fiftyflowers.com.
They provide flowers that are really fresh, because they get them shipped overnight from the place where they are grown. They arrive with you not that long after they were cut. Isn't that great?
And the flowers are coming in from places like Ecuador, Colombia and California. So they are fresh and exotic.

Josh Brolin Rips Pants
Josh Brolin had some underwear trouble.
During his first scene with co-star Russell Crowe, on the set of American Gangster, when he ripped the seat out of his pants.
Well, Russell is a good looking man. But buy him dinner first.
Brolin admits he was nervous about acting opposite Oscar winner Crowe, and the untimely wardrobe malfunction only made things worse.
But look at it this way, you met Russell and you didn't get hit by a phone. That means he loves you, dude.

Steve Coogan's Leaving
Steve Coogan's revealed he's ready to quit Britain and move to LA.
I don't think the snow of last week helped that.
He now admits he's very tempted to apply for US citizenship.
It's not just push-factors, it can't be a coincidence that he didn't want to live over there while Bush was in charge but as soon as the new dude takes over he's there.

The Body's Responses
The human busy is a wonderful thing. If you break a bone it can heal itself.

Then, you wear them in, and you win. In no time at all you an wear those shoes without the body doing one of its annoying responses.

Batwoman's Back
Batwoman is making a comeback after thirty years away. I'm guessing she won't have ages those 30 years in the comic.Although, I think OAP Batwoman would be a great strip. She could have a utility truss.
But this time Batwoman is bi-curious. Yep, it's not just from her grapple hook that she swings both ways.
Yes, the new superhero is being billed as a lesbian socialite by night and a crime fighter by later in the night.
Don't say that out loud. All the criminals now know to do all their crimes at tea-time.
Coins
If you are looking for something to invest in, here's something you probably didn't consider. Coins. They have their face value, which means they have a minimum amount below which they cannot fall.
But as they are made from precious metals they have the value you could sell them for, and as they are rare, and supply not meeting demand pushes prices up, they gain value that way.
Or maybe the investment isn't just about the vlue for you. Maybe you like the idea that you can make and investment and get something tangible for it. You can't touch shares and stocks, and savings is just a number on a statement till you withdraw. So coins are somehow more real.
There's a great website for coin dealers. Have a look at the website www.zoomcoin.com.

Neanderthals DNA
Scientists believe they now know the genetic make-up of Neanderthals.Well, that'll be useful. If a Neanderthal ever goes to one of those doctors with some inherited condition they can fix it.
It's after they studied ancient DNA from three fossils.
That means they could be clone one like in Jurassic Park. Yeah, imagine an island filled with short, hairy, dumb men with low-brows and low IQs...
You can insert your own Isle Of Wight gag in here. Save me the bother.

Space Junk
Outer space is getting clogged up with junk.Well, there are no bins up there, what do they expect?
It's claimed eighteen thousand objects including debris from old rockets are whizzing round earth.
Fast moving rubbish. It's like looking at the Watford ring road on a Friday night.
This is in the papers because it was just the other day that a US and a Russian satellite collided in orbit.
Thankfully there are no humans posted on those satellite, because if the impact didn't kill them getting out to exchange insurance details would.

Plants Are Great
Plants are great. They make some amazing things that we can extract. Like kava root. the extract contains kavalactones, which is a category of chemicals. There are around 15 of these chemicals that have been found to be psychoactive.
Having a kava drink gives you a feeling of mental clarity. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to kick in.
Isn't it amazing that a plant, that doesn't have a brain, can produce a molecule that can stimulate the brain?
And there's Kratom, which also has stimulant-like properties in humans. It is found in trees that grow in Southeast Asia, and although technically it was discovered in 1907 by D. Hooper, centuries earlier the people in that area used it.
You can get your hands these and other interesting plant extracts at www.konakavafarm.com

Tough On Squirrels, Tough On The Causes Of Squirrels
A cull of grey squirrels is set to begin in Northern Scotland.Seems harsh, but they asked for it. Those grey ones are native to the UK, the little red ones are. But they came over here, killing out squirrels, taking out jobs...
Tens of thousands of the creatures will be trapped and killed after new
Government plans.
The grey ones are from America and the red ones are fro the UK. So the fact that these grey ones are killing the red ones has been written off as 'friendly fire'.
It's not that they eat the red one's food it's that they carry a disease that the red ones aren't immune. Plus they keep shouting things about them being ginger. It's not nice.
No-Smoking Pets
We're often told not to smoke around children, but now we're being urged not to light up in front of pets.Well, for a start, those Beagles have probably only just quit, so it's doesn't help them.
A campaign in the States is warning people that animals can also be at risk from passive smoking.
That's why I'm teaching my parrot to say, "Erm, would you mind awfully putting that out." So far all he can say is, "Who's a pretty boy then?" And that's not that useful... unless you're shy and take him out to gay bars.
I think we should stop smoking in front of the pets. Apart from St Bernard's. Hey, they walk round with brandy round their necks, who are they to complain about vices.
Holsted Jewelers
Finding the perfect gift can be tricky. Jewelry is a good gift, but hey, there's a recession on, no one wants to be paying stupid amounts of money.
There is a way you can give such a gift without it being expensive. How about designer costume jewelry?
Holsted Jewelers sell exclusively designed jewelry, which means the gift you give won't be something they already have.
They have a wide range of items too, so if you think the person you're buying for would like something that is tried and tested in a classic style they have that. Or if they are more likely to want modern designs, you will find that too.

Octuplet Pictures
Did you hear about the woman who had 8 kids?
Well, the first pictures of the Octuplet babies have been revealed and are in the papers today.
Nah, it's not impressive. As soon as you've seen the first three, it's get a bit samey.
And don't you feel sorry for anyone who goes round there and has to sit through the baby photos. That's 8-times longer than the normal boredom.
The six baby boys and two girls weigh no more than four pounds each.
That doesn't matter for the boys, but for the girls, it's a great time. It's a weight they will never get down to again.

Royal Mail Cuts
Bad news today...
Oh my word, I'm sick of thinking that every day of late. Snow, flooding, planes hitting rivers, Simon Cowell still breathing. It's all bad...
But now we hear that up to sixteen-thousand Royal Mail workers may be axed in a huge cost-cutting plan.
Yeah, fewer people. That's what we need. As it is we don't get the post on time, but soon we'll be able to post a letter and it not be delivered till we've forgotten that that we sent it.
Good. It means we can post our own birthday cards and it will still be a surprise.

VillageVoice.com
If you are ever in the mood for some food but don't know where to go to get it, I have some good advice for you. There's not a restaurant review section on a website that is known for its honesty and hard-hitting nature.
At villagevoice.com you have always been able to read some truths in their news section, making it a good newsweekly, but now you can go to their new section and find out about New York Restaurants and which ones you should try.
That way, you can go to new places without the worry of walking into the unknown. You know someone else has been there to test it out for you first.

Lucy Pinder Lies
Now, I'm not one to pick on people's mistakes and rub their nose in it. I don't like to shine a light on people's mistakes and annoy them. Honestly.
But have a read of this...
Hmm. For someone who said she hated Big Brother she sure went on it when the money was right.
Still, I don't think she changed her mind for long. She was voted off first, and so has probably gone back to hating it.

Strictly Too Much Tan
I love this. The dancers on the Strictly Come Dancing tour are apparently wearing so much fake tan is it causing problems.They're wearing so much they're getting job offers as David Dickinson impersonators.
It's the bronzing oil that dancers wear. It is rubbing off on their bed sheets and some hotels have reportedly had to fork out for dry cleaning.
That old excuse, eh? What was it really? Hot curry?

Educational Podcasts
Podcasts are a great source of info. Yeah, websites are easy to read but you should think about downloading podcasts to your mp3 player to listen to while you jog, or burn to a CD-RW and listen to them in the car. I have one of those FM transmitters that you are meant to use in the car plugged into the back of my PC. So I can play a podcast on my computer and hear it on the radio in the shower.
If you want an educational podcast have a look at www.capella.edu.
This is a good time to be doing something like that. As the economy sits in a recession jobs become less secure so you can benefit from having better qualifications.
Capella University is a great place. Graduate Jeannie McGuire would say so. She got a Sunny Andrews Award for her commitment to social work recently. And that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't studied a master's in human services.

Batman's Rant
Christian Bale's mother has defended her son after he lost his temper on the set of Terminator Salvation.
If you have not heard it have a listen here
That's a good old rant. Something like 46 swears in that. That's more than Gordon Ramsay uses when he stubs his toe.
His mum, Jenny Bale, says she understands why the actor got so angry but didn't condone the length of his tirade.
Typical actor. Does too much and hopes it comes out in the edit.

Riviera Maya
If you like your food there's a great suggestion coming your way for our next holiday. We head to the seclusion and beautiful white-sand beaches of Riviera Maya? It's Mexico, and it has some amazing resorts. If you want to jump straight to the site and see the place have a look at the details of the Riviera maya family vacations at www.karismahotels.com.
These Resorts specialse in food. You can have a wonderful time there, and so can your stomach. The food isn't just a standard thing across all of the resorts, each one has it's own speciality for you to indulge yourself in.

Alexandra Burke Is Delayed
Alexandra Burke's debut album won't be out until November.Look on the bright side, at least you will have something to buy every female member of your extended family for Christmas 2009.
Record bosses have scrapped plans for a rushed release.
Shame. I would've enjoyed hearing her cover versions of Black Lace's classics.
She is being looked after by Simon Cowell's Syco label, but they have decided not to force her to knock one out. Instead she gets to do what Leona Lewis did. Take some time, sing some good songs... ruin a Snow Patrol tune.

****ing Swearing
Britain is apparently a nation of a potty mouths.
Bulls.... Oh, I see their point.
It's claimed the average person in the UK now swears around 14 times a day.
But you have to realise, we have Gordon Ramsey ruining our stats.
People say television is to blame.
Yep. You turn it on, you see Gordon Ramsey and you say, "Oh for ****'s sake. Is it him again."
What's wrong with swearing. They're only words. They can't hurt you. Most of them don't even include the letter P, so if someone shouts one at you you probably won't even get spat on.

Medical Supplies
Medical productions that are specifically designed to improve the standard of your life if you have the specific need must seem like a great idea... till you have to buy them. Often they are hard to find and if you do track them down you can feel embarrassed going into a busy show to buy them.
So all hail the internet. AllegroMedical.com is a website that plugs the gap. You don't have to work hard to find all of the products that they sell, like diabetes testing strips, breast feeding pillows, shower chair, and cervical collars.
And ordering on-line means you can do it in the comfort, and (more important) privacy, of your own home.

MP Expenses - Again
MP's expenses may go back to being a closely guarded secret.
And they announced this news as life was found on Mars, there was a plane crash into a river, and we have a massive recession. Way to bury news!
Ministers get to rule this week that they don't have to publish details of their spending.
I think that's OK, as long as I don't have to give details of my spending to the Government. When I have to fill in my self-assessment form I'll put all the tax-deductible stuff under "Other" and see how they like it.

NASA Finds Signs Of Life
So, we are one step closer to finding out if there really is life on Mars.
I hope so, or that TV show "Life On Mars" was just a load of made up rubbish.
Nasa has revealed it's discovered methane clouds on the planet.
Isn't that just perfect. The indicator of life is gas. It makes sense. Even on Earth wherever there is life there' a smell. People stink.
I don't know how cavemen ever did it. With no soap and body-spray they must've stank.
In fact, that's probably something that explains the why we have a population explosion. In the caveman days the stench kept a lid on all the bonking, but in modern times someone goes and invents the deodorant and we're screwed.

Think Of Stocks
Another day another set of news stories telling us how bad the recession is. It's getting to the point where we're talking ourselves into a panic. There's still money to be made out there.Have a look at www.poweropt.com. That's where you can get all the data you will need to make investments with stock options and also that's where you can have that data compared and analysed by their SmartSearchXL® technology.
PowerOptions is the only place that can get you so much data in a useful fashion. It's all about giving yourself the competitive edge. If you're doing better than other people in the stock market you're making money. It's like, you don't have to outrun the bear you just have to outrun the other people running from the bear.
Up at the top of the post is a screenshot of the site. Go and have a look.

You Can Float
You know me. I love my science. Well look at this post (click here to read it).
Scientists have done it, they have made levitation work. Sounds great, yeah? Nope. It's only for really small things.
So it will probably work for Cheryl Cole.
They have used some quantum mechanics to make it happen. That's great because quantum mechanics is one of those things that when you learn it you think "I'll never use this in a practical way, ever."
For people who didn't do a science degree, it's like when you use a square-root and think, "Wow, I haven't needed that since school."
P.S. Here, have some physics...
