Longest list for awards I've ever seen but…
I get the impression that very few votes were required for a blog to appear on the Blog Awards Best Newcomer long list. But I'm there, and it gives me a little glow. Thank you anonymous voter(s?). ::
The real thing for only €600
Oh, wouldn't that just be the coolest toilet ever? You'd be the talk of the town. Still available! Thomas Crapper & Co. – Pedestal Wash-down Closet ::
BBC Watchdog misses point completely
We're back to flogging that 'psychic' dead horse. Last week's edition of the BBC Watchdog programme included a segment which outed 'Mrs Adams,' a 'psychic' who cons gullible clients out of thousands of pounds by claiming they need 8ft incense…

Dog fights balloons (and wins)
Time to inject a little pointless frivolity. Not quite as bad as LOL cats. ::
