In other news, it's taken me a week but the new layout for the BBC News website is the most horrible thing I've seen in ages. It's almost like there's no structure to it - I can't even be bothered to try and read half the stories any more.

QFT. Abysmal piece of utter bollocks. Apart from checking the weather forecast I don't visit the news site since the downgrade.

Lets play Who's the saddest bugger.

According to the band's management the quartet tried to continue but such was the ferocity and direction of the bird excrement that after three songs the group felt they could only call it a night and retreat.

That's a bit plop.

Must have left a nasty taste in the mouth.

I just caught a bit of Live from Studio Five. They've spent ten minutes discussing whether or not Christina Hendricks is hot (she is) and in a feat of journalistic quality, referred to Lynne Featherstone as both "that MP woman" and "that MP lady."

Those pigeons obviously weren't fans of corporate rock.

And bailing was hardly rock n' roll!

Mother-of-two Jean Walker, 38, from Lichfield, Staffs, added: 'I was stunned when my son, who is only seven, turned around and asked me what a jam rag was.

I'd happlily shoot all the presenters of that show. Vaccuous bunch of idiots that they are. You'd find more intelligence in the fungus between my toes.

Random question asked at work today.

Why is it you have to be 18 to buy porn but you can have actual sex at 16?

Anyone know?

Just restrung a guitar (with my wife's help) for the first time ever today. I think I need to grow another pair of hands if I'm ever going to do it myself

No idea but slapping it into Google (steady!) did come up with this article on The Independent from 2002

Doesn't answer your question but if these bits from the article

Julia Gash

and

Mr Butt

aren't someone having a laugh, then I'm Ron Jeremy.

Got proper munted last night, went out from work for a few beers, ended up 'continuing', foolishly quickly downing four or five sambuca shots in the early hours between pints. Next thing I know, I try to get a taxi, get all paras about halfway through the journey, exit the cab and I must've collapsed or something because the next thing I remember is being in the back of an ambulance, talking inane gobbledigook to the paramedics ("It's yellow, it's a proper ambulance..."), then I'm on a trolley in A&E drifting in and out of consciousness (I'm pretty certain I was acting like a proper twit in my drunken haze, God knows what I did though I'm certain it was nothing physical, probably just generally being a blitzed-out irritant.) Ended up climbing off the trolley, still drunk, and staggered to the bus stop to get the 6am early bus, barely remembering fragments of the previous few hours. Slept all day, woke up about 5pm and discovered I still had my wristband on and had four of those heart monitor pads stuck onto my torso! What an idiot - I'm too old for this!

Dreading going back into work, as I work from A&E so am due a b0llocking and the wrath of many dirty looks and shedloads of p*ss-taking from my colleagues, I just hope I wasn't *too* bad a twunt last night. I am so facepalm right now it's unbelievable(!)
