Do you know, just this morning I was speculating about not reading the Daily Mail online any more, since it is clearly bad for my soul. But then I'd miss stuff like this:

Oh YES !

Who's excited about the Brompton 09 new design features?

ME, ME, It's ME !

The recumbant Brompton. How ? Why !?

And now for something rather wonderful

All of the commercial flights in the world in 24 hrs in 72 seconds

If you see what I mean

And in lovely new widescreen too

And Happy Birthday Mouse. 40 years of RSI

from the sublime to the ridiculous, I am kind of insulted that these guys are from the West Country. Is it more believable that we rural types would do something so insanely cruel?

God bless the constitution

I love this, basically for the two reasons that the complain is unlikely to be taken up. The first one makes me laugh, the second is the sort of thing that reminds you that maybe just occasionally they're right to be proud of themselves.

Big O is watching you.

I have just discovered that if you follow Barack Obama on Twitter he will follow your ass right back. You would think he had better things to do.
I feel really bad about blocking him but I had too. I can't handle that kind of presure, he has very high standards, what if I said or did something to dissapoint him?

A mash up too far?

Radio 4: love it

Fags, mags and bags is returning.

Now you have very dodgy taste in terms of radio comedy but surely we can agree that this is genius

as is this http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/fmb_shop.shtml

and this http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/fmb_crisps.shtml

Slow, slow, quick, quick

Great blog http://theslowbicycle.blogspot.com/ but votes are needed for the slogan. I favour "relax, enjoy yourself, you're on a bicycle for heaven's sake".

Also want to know what the Los Angeles Fire Department is up to? Now you do http://twitter.com/lafd

And: kids these days. Why can't they just hang around on park benches getting drunk and smoking tabs like we used to?
