Thinking about it, directly or indirectly I suspect that Shania Twain is responsible for a lot of gun-related incidents.

Anything by wibbly-voiced wimmin - Whitney/Mariah/Celine/Leona - just hold the chuffing note for ***'s sake.

No no no, that's not how it works. Chener should smarten itself up first in order to attract my custom. I am quite the book-buyer so it could be worth the effort....

Almond Magnums. Or should that be Magna?

By the late 1970s 'scissors' had been invented and the nice lady in my local post office would very obligingly open ours for us. Of course with a nice big opening at the top you had to be careful not to squeeze too hard or else the whole thing would shoot out and land in the dirt. No problem in those devil-may-care germ-filled days, though - a quick rinse under the nearest tap and you'd eat it anyway.

Forever Live and Die - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

I make no apologies for watching Britain's Got Talent, especially when it throws up gems like this: Stavros Flatley

Make mine a Southern Comfort & lemonade.

I was given some as a gift - it's tasty and there's a definite whiff of TCP about it which I rather like but I wouldn't spend my own money on it. Maybe I'd think differently if I was afflicted with boils :).

Grrr, a pox upon those breezy types who insist on greeting everyone every morning. Leave me alone until I've had my first cuppa... :)

Together Forever - Rick Astley

A Guardian or an Independent for long train journeys - otherwise the Today programme in the morning and a snoot around the BBC/Guardian/Independent/Telegraph websites during the day. And The Onion, of course (finest hour: Onion link) In a previous job I had to do press cuttings which involved skimming all the broadsheets every day. Being paid to read the papers sounds fun in principle but it's chuffing tedious after a few days. Plus you practically need Swarfega to get your hands clean afterwards.
