More Carol Vorderman

Greatest Hits, Links, Photos

This clinches it: she’s a total genius (see my previous post). This comes from my friend’s brother, who, unless I’m much mistaken, sometimes leaves comments corecting correcting my speling spelling. *

Carol Vorderman says: I look like Davina McColl in this photo!

Oh, and before I forget, I found a wonderful site the other day. If you like tampons and crafts, you’ll love Tampon Crafts.

For any time of the month!

Well it turns out that yes I was indeed very much mistaken! It wasn’t him after all!

I have done a day of hard work in my whole life

All and sundry

Today I learnt that “Spermamax can get pregnant even a man”.

Thank you, spam email, for enriching my life in so many ways.

I also worked all day in a warehouse. My temping agency has finally found something ideal for me: it’s an ongoing temporary contract, which means I can work fulltime Monday to Friday for as long as I like. I think I’ll do it for a couple of months, destroy my overdraft, and then maybe go travelling or something. Work in France, possibly.

But today was really good. After being a complete lazy-ass for the past couple of months, it feels so good to finally be doing something. Seriously, today I got up at half six and walked across Bath for 40 minutes and spent the next eight hours lugging boxes and stuff around a warehouse, and now I’m completely shattered. The best part is that I get to do it all again tomorrow morning.

Kate Bush ‘Joanni’ lyrics — the French bit

All and sundry

Well I recently found the French lyrics from the end of Joanni (a song on Aerial, her latest album):

Elle parle à Dieu et aux anges dans ses prières
Venez Sainte Catherine et Sainte Marguerite,
Elle a besoin de vous deux.
Ah les voix, les voix du feu,
Chante avec moi petite soeur,
J’entends les voix, les voix.

From this site (in French)

And here’s the translation (by me!)

She speaks to God and the angles angels in her prayers
Come St. Catherine and St. Margaret,
She needs you two,
Ah the voices, the voices of fire,
Sing with me, little sister,
I hear the voices, the voices.

And no, I didn’t read the English translation, I translated this all by myself!

Common Errors in English

Visit it now and read five of them. If you’re like me you can sit back and be all smug that you know how to spell. If you’re not, read them all and learn them!

Can you believe that people actually write “another words” instead of “in other words”?

And don’t even get me started on people who say “memory” when they really mean “hard disk”.

George Calloway must die

Rants

I can’t actually believe it. The man is an elected representative, and he’s on “Celebrity” Big Brother. I saw the bit where he was pretending to be a cat, and I had to turn over in disgust. I mean I really couldn’t stand to watch it. He gets paid public money to be a Member of Parliament!

A Member of Parliament!!!

Why and how was he allowed to take part in such a vapid piece of paltry entertainment? I might be able to understand it if he was desparate for money, or an ailing z-list celebrity, but no — he’s got a paid job to help run the country for goodness sake. If I was in his constituency I would be calling for his immediate resignation, I think it’s a total farce that he’s been allowed to participate, and it completely detracts from the validity of anything he’s ever said. I won’t be able to take anything he says seriously any more. He should be sacked.

MSN Search

All and sundry

MSN Search is funny. I just found this:

You will be caught in in uncompromising position with a Scottish midget and a pineapple this month. Plead insanity and pray that the photographs are destroyed.

(It’s still not a patch on Google though.)

Recently I’ve been reading a few articles about how to be a good blogger. The top recommendation is not to post complete crap. Well, I’ve been doing a lot of that since I started blogging, and I’m about to do it again.

Only this time, it’s really amazing complete crap, so I just had to blog about it. Seriously, this absolutely astonishes me!

Go to google.co.uk/movies, type the name of your town into the “Town or postcode” box and press enter.

Is that not modern technology which makes you drop to your knees and quietly weep in grateful awe? I am never, ever, going to bother with another poorly designed cinema website again!
