Potter.
Rowling says that she didn’t realise that the first Potter book was fantasy until after it was published. I’m not the world’s greatest expert, but I would have thought that the wizards, witches, trolls, unicorns, hidden worlds, jumping chocolate frogs, owl mail, magic food, ghosts, broomsticks and spells would have given her a clue?
Terry Pratchett
Salisbury, Wiltshire
Christ almighty. Not a big Potter fan here, chalk it up with those things apparently i should like but don’t (see Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs), just have no interest in giving them a chance really. I read the first book and it was a kids book, it so is and i stopped from there.
But French fries are enjoyed by millions of people all over the world. And they can’t all be wrong - can they?
People who agree with me are right, everyone else is wrong. Those french fries will clog up your arteries and KILL YOU!
Praying..
I don’t really pray much, but please god, if you could see fit to win this competition for me to win tickets to the premiere of the Island so i could see her in person i would be eternally grateful.
Thank you.
Travelling…
So, i still don’t think i know what’s going on. I think, we’re just going to Ireland… but that might just be something i decided and made into a little truth that i shared with Gina (who is now coming with us) but we shall see. It’s all good though, Gina should add some much needed impetus to the proceedings.
So the date is set for around the beginning of September, with two weekends there(?) and we just need to set dates and flights and hiring a car and is Jamie coming?
Easy :)
Driving Range
We went to the driving range and after i fluffed the first shot, i manage to get my eye in a bit (though was still a little hit and miss) and my drives were going as far right as they were forward.
I still maintain that golf is rubbish and i was just interested in hitting the ball as far as possible.
Flickr is awesome, photos of the tornado that was in Brum were on Flickr pretty quickly, fair play.
Bouncy Balls!
Waheyyy!

In Case I Get Shot In The Back Of The Head
Eight out of ten people aren’t carrying information that would help if they were accidentally or mistakenly shot in the back of the head. Storing next-of-kin details in your mobile phone can assist the emergency services if you’re unable to tell them who to contact because your brains are spilled all over a railway platform.

The other ’schemes’ also made me smile..
From the same post..
It’s got to be fake!
Crowd seperation…
It was blatantly obvious at Live8 and also at Oxegen now, the whole, people at the front and people further back way that the crowd is getting split. I’m sure it’s not something new. Well i just don’t like it.
