Newspapers

Made me laugh, from The Student Room:

"The Times is read by the people who run the country. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country. The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country. The Independent is read by people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country. The Daily Express is read by the people who think the country ought to be run as it used to be run. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who still think it is their country. And the Sun's readers don't care who runs the country providing she has big tits." -- from Yes Prime Minister (from the 1980s, it doesn't have quite the same resonance today)

"The Star is read by the people who think the Sun is a bit too upmarket." -- anon

"The Sport is read by the people who think that Elvis is running the country from his secret lunar bunker assisted by a team of topless aliens." -- anon

New blog

Robert is aiming to stay sober for the next six months and update his new blog every day. He's much more than an interesting read!

Eat the seasons

I came across this website on my travels somewhere, I can't quite remember where to. But find it I did and I thought you might like a look, especially if you like your food fresh and green.

I'm

Following Ben's itheme there's a new initiative set up by Microsoft to give money to charity and it doesn't cost you a penny...

You can find more information here but all you need to do is type a code into your display name in MSN to chose the charity you want to support. You'll see a little logo appear next to your name and Microsoft will donate a percentage of the revenue they get from advertising to your chosen charity. You can also set up a signature in your Hotmail account to do the same thing.

Keep your eyes open for the launch in the UK as it's currently only running in the US.

Blogs on Blahtop

Ever so often my darling (but slightly weird) husband texts poems to people. He has a special blog which he updates from time to time with his better offerings but I think it's probably little frequented because he's a bit bashful about it.

If you like a chuckle and don't mind some idiosyncratic grammar add it to your sporadic bloggers folder.

I'll explain: on our trusty laptop we have a very organised favourites folder (because I'm anal like that) and the blogs are split into 'Blogs' and 'Sporadic Bloggers' (which DH changed to 'Spraddick'). Those who are sporadic bloggers don't enjoy our patronage so much! If you don't blog for two or three months you'll probably end up there but we still love you.

Goop

Goop is a nice website, at least I like it's concept. Written by Gweneth Paltrow but down to earth (apart from the massive budget you would need to try some of her recommendations in hotels and restaurants!)

My recent web wanderings

Driving Commandments

Do you make the sign of the cross before you set off in your car?

The Vatican urges you to do so...

In the blogosphere today...

Bank holidays are a nice opportunity to catch up with things.


Hayley is lovely and keeps an often thought provoking blog that I rediscovered today.

Post Secret is as bizarre and honest as ever:



And Paul has some beautiful photos on his image blog.
