We've already managed to popularise "Craster Anal Bleaching".

Have we had any search results lately?

OK, so "gggggggggmilf" returns some naughty results, but "ggggggggggmilf" does not. Clearly ten generations back is just too far, whereas nine is OK.

I can do those jobs standing on my head, but MrsA won't want to move to MA.

I've applied for it, anyway.

A few terrifying things have occurred to me reading the last page or so:

1. I could become grandmother at 32
2. That's only 4yrs away
3. What happened to my baby boy!?

(

Sat by the pool again, apparently it's too early for beer. We have no plans until tonight and i think this is pretty much all the boys will want to do today. Hurry up respectable hour of the day to drink! I have only been drunk in charge of a bike once this week, I think I need to better that.

We've seen about half a dozen families we know/recognise from home, including a guy I work with and one the boys teachers. That's what happens when you live in a small place, I guess!

No idea. The picture was posted on the Metallica Facebook page and it'll be in their online store next week. Assuming it's not a spoof anyway.

I have a subway

Bought the girl a doll because of what happened this morning, the boy was happy that he got an extra hour watching TV but she was very very upset. The Girl has this thing where is she does something naughty (eg, spills her drink of the carpet) she comes up with her Lady and the tramp toy and says "Naughty Lady did X" Naughty Lady does not get in trouble because she told me the truth. This doll will probably tell me every time she is upset.

Dammit, they just blew up Methil power station. I was meaning to go and explore that, or at least look at it up close. Too late now.

Tonight is the ideal night to get drunk, as opposed to a few 'social' beers during the day (socializing with children under 12 will definitely drive you to drink)....BUT!! We have an early starry tomorrow so I'm trying to tell myself that I can cope with the children with a slight hangover after getting out of bed 2hrs earlier than I want to....

I have this recorded, I'm not too sure about watching it though as Darryl goes next year.

Had a bunch of few Game Boy Games in the post today. One was 'Attractor 8 in 1'.. one of those pirate multi-game things. Nice to see that it's not filled with the usual stuff though (they always seem to contain Motocross Maniacs). Annoyingly, it's one when you change games by powering off and on, but there is -

Makaimura Gaiden - which is apparently the Japanese version of Gargoyle's Quest II
Batman - which seems to play oddly like a Mario game
Kung-Fu Master - I'd not played this version before.. it seems to have more in common with Vigilante than the Kung-Fu Master I know
Bubble Bobble
Ninja Gaiden
An odd Doraemon game and some Fist of the North Star one-on-one fighter.

Not bad at all.

Yarp. It's like a shootier, more hardcore (and difficult) Super Mario Land. More SML-like than the official Super Mario Land 2, sort-of not-quite ironically. But then SML2 was a floaty-feeling Super Mario World wannabe that was fail compared to the mighty Super Mario Land.

Off to work in a minute. In the uncomfortably blazing sunshine...

Oh well, Minecraft to look forward to later. Yay!

So, you like Terminator 2, but you also like Shakespeare. These two principles are oft thought to be opposites, poles apart. Mention to your Shakespeare-ite friends that you like Terminator 2 and you are shunned. Mention Shakespeare to T2 fans and worse is likely to happen, you are alone.

Fear not, you are alone no longer, I bring tidings of great joy:

Are you taking them hiking?

Good pair of walking boots each, waterproof jackets/trousers (one bright red, t'other blue) and a red children's rucksack each (for our lunches, also, many plasters)

and yes, we are going to walk the start of the pennine way next week (if it's not raining)

Taking up hiking with them has been something I've been desperate to do with them for nine years. It's a real YAY! because up to last year my son was in a wheelchair so it was one of those really sad little "I wish we could" thoughts. Going to york with no wheelchair was the third happiest day of my life. Now we can and the weather is nice I can take full advantage of living in Derbyshire and having a national rail discount card - gets us pretty much anywhere in derbyshire for under a tenner. If the weather holds during the holidays then this is going to be awesome if all goes well we may even be able to go camping :DD

CAB was interesting again. Had a man who took his car to a garage and it left in a worse state than when it went in, someone was asking about tenancy agreements and the like, and some other stuff. A bit quieter than the first day with libel, divorce, debts, possibly negligent solicitors and mobile phone reconnection charges (this bloke had 5 cellphones...). I'm really enjoying this, it's deffo a decent use of my time. And I get to eat a lot of biscuits and tea.

Psycology degrees make you poor

"Psychology educators say liberal arts skills should be valuable in the workplace. Employers say they value liberal arts skills in employees," says psychology prof D W Rajecki. "I say, 'show me the money.'"

I can't help but feel the article's tone is slightly smug, mind you.

Slightly? The Reg's editoral line seems to look down its nose at every academic discipline that isn't "hard" science or economics of the Friedmanite variety. I don't like or trust it a source of news much. Always had a certain irreverent tone of course, but not so on-sidedly ideological.

Best thing I saw today was a disabled guy jumping off a wall 10m high.

Context: there was a group of disabled adults doing some of the activities today, one of them involved sitting on top of a 10m wall and pushing yourself off (while attached to a harness, natch), he absolutely loved it. At the bottom he was laughing and making excited noises and all the way up the ladder and then when he got to the top....I thought he'd explode from happiness when he actually swung off the side. Loads of people who had gathered to watch other people ended up watching I'm and clapping and cheering when he was swinging about. It was ace, proper happy smiles all round at that one
