Eastenders is massive in the UK. It and Coronation Street vie as the two top soaps on brit tv.

I've always wanted to go on a canal tour of England. That Regents Canal is pretty nice. I was just checking it out on Google Earth. It goes right through London and all the way out to Slough. This tunnel is half a mile long!
Can you imagine commuting to work on it? Gets a fair amount of traffic though. Not such a good place to dump a body.

Three cheers for the American Taliban!

Ft3 is in a cheery mood

Almost manic.:eek:

Three cheers for mania!

Foot-foot- hooray!

Ah, but she does now.

All reports were -after Hebe's amazing prelim race today- that she was inexplicably grumpy. So instead of going over to try an communicate over the balcony, I just texted "fucking awesome", We don't hold back on the "f bomb" here, but when I put it in a text, she knew I meant business. turns out she was grumpy because she thought her race was so crap she didn't bother to look at the scoreboard.........

....when she took third in finals, I texted "Jolly well done" :D

There have been a few wardrobe malfunctions here and there.

Ummm... was his first ... heart or transplant :rolleyes:

Dick Cheney receives heart transplant

Transplant? Doesn't that imply you had to have one in the first place? I think they meant to say "implant".

Shame the wars he advocated didn't produce a suitable donor till now.

Looks like England is a little farther from France than it was yesterday.

Or closer.

The crumbling cliffs of Dover: Now France is even further away

I remember one time getting a ferry to France, and watching the cliffs recede. They look incredible in real life.

We have the same kind of cliffs in Etretat further down the coast from Calais.

Incredible is not strong enough a word.

So, are the two of ya's closer now, or farther apart?

With hindsight, this might have been asking for trouble:

Am I a bad person for finding this funny?

You're all going to be very happy to hear this.

My newest cow orker (possibly the coolest girl on earth!) commutes from the south and goes by The Solid Rock church. She told me this morning that there were two really good signs: first that I got my deductible back (other insurance company investigated and took 100% liability when Hit and Run Harry tried to get his car fixed) and the second that THEY ARE STARTING CONSTRUCTION ON THE NEW AND IMPROVED BIG BUTTER JESUS!

Here is the original jebus, then jebus as a flaming ball of...flames, then the aftermath of the flaming ball of holiness, then the 'new and improved jebus.'

(I tried to insert images between commentary but that won't work for me)


Now tell me all you Spinal Tap fans aren't thinking of Stonehenge and thinking: a little too much fucking perspective if you ask me!

What fresh hideousness is this?

Excellent! So they found him after all. Great news.

1 -- model looks like it's made of goat cheese, which is ew. (no offense Griff)

2 -- what was the thing made of that burned so vigorously, holy fire? paper mache?

3 -- commentary (picture) more commentary (more pics) can be done with up to four images per post by using the attach images / paperclip thingy. I'll find a post for an example.

I kid that it was made of marshmallows and styrofoam. Apparently styrofoam isn't far from the truth. Looking back I had to laugh because driving by I just thought it was a giant marble structure. How dumb of me? Can you imagine the cost, the weight of such a rock? D'oh!

I know, classic, ain't that awesome?

Oh, bigv, when I tried that all I got were little red x boxes with the names of the files in them, when I 'previewed' the post.

From here

Wow. That's one tough fish. Were they introduced for food or as 'pets'? How do they taste?

It does sound like a real 'sporting' fish though. I'd probably use a baseball bat instead of a gun though.;)

http://media.zenfs.com/en/blogs/thes...snakehead2.jpg

It gets even weirder.

They do sound tasty:yum:.
So we have a tasty fish that the state actually wants hunted/fished to extinction. If I lived in Maryland I'd be out back with a flashlight, a baseball bat, and cast iron frying pan. Heck, I could leave the baseball bat and just hit them with the frying pan.

They even look tasty!
Lovely dappled scales and all that.

I forgot to take a photo, but was pleased with a sign outside the only independent butcher left in town "Meat Shortage Due! Please Panic Buy!"

Made me grin widely. 'Cept I won't buy from them after that butcher was very rude to me the other year.

Explanation if needed:
(Not of his rudeness, of the sign) Panic buying ensued at petrol pumps after tanker drivers threatened a strike. Like a run on a bank, the panic was fuelled [sic] by word of mouth, irresponsible media coverage and a laughable Govt response which advised people to buy and store fuel (?!) in jerry cans. Which is illegal and can be highly dangerous.

As evidenced by the fact that within 48 hours of issuing said advice a woman set herself on fire transferring fuel from a jerry can.

Well... she wasn't told to do it in her kitchen. With the gas stove on.
Even I might want to give Francis Maude a pass on that.

How much did his parents hate him BTW? At least give him a butch first name FFS! Like Hilary.

So you won't let rude guys give you any meat. Good to know.;)

Well, I won't pay for it anyway. I'd have taken a pound of sausage if he'd slipped it to me gratis.

They made a false god, Jesus don't like no goats.

Help! Help! I've eaten a magnet and I can't get down!

That was tasty! Thanks Griff. I'd like to revise my previous statement. That model looks like some goat cheese I had once, and that goat cheese was definitely ew. It was molded (lol) in a truncated cone, about the size and shape of a Yoplait yogurt container, and very hard. I won't get that one again.

I wonder about people, sometimes

Hang on....'fairy penguin'?

Not really 'weird' but didn;t want to start a whole new thread...

Recently the BBC upped sticks and moved a large part of its broadcasting operation from London to Salford (next door to Manchester).

Salford is the town I was born, and I have at various times in my life lived in different areas. It's also where my Mum was brought up and where a good deal of my family still live.

There are nice parts of salford....it isn't all an inner city nightmare but...

*wipes a fond tear*

Ahh...my birthtown. So proud.

Don't judge our penguins for their lifestyle choices.

Nice work by the ersatz hertz chap.

~thread drift~ Our public radio station is run by the Navajo Nation. The resulting wierd news from that is (to me, anyway) considerable. At least no one physically attacks them, though. They're in the heart of Indian Country and white man beware.~thread drift~

We now return you to your regularly scheduled wierdness.

Sleepy co-pilot takes evasive action on transatlantic flight to avoid a midair collision with Venus.

Dude was only supposed to take a 40 minute cat-nap to avoid falling into a disorienting deep sleep, but he slept for an hour and a quarter, and when he woke up, he didn't comprehend the pilot when the pilot briefed him on nearby air traffic. He thought they were on a collision course, and the bright point of light was a plane coming straight at them. So he shoved forward on the stick, the plane dropped 400 feet at once, and all the rule breakers who were not buckled in when the fasten seat belt light was on, went flying up into the ceiling. 16 people injured, 7 hospitalized.

A good reminder to keep those seat belts fastened, even if the sign isn't on. And this time, it was.

Not weird, but...

At 4:20 on 4/20, thousands will light up in support of the legalization of marijuana. :blunt:

This is nothing new, right? The University of Colorado at Boulder plans to shut the entire campus, save staff, faculty, and students.

But this, this kills me:


What's to keep track of? People slowly milling around and softly saying "dude"?
What, does he get scared watching Reefer Madness? Is he afraid of a McDonald's riot? :lol:


Unless a bunch of those people are also drinking, I don't think a marijuana rally poses a huge threat.


When will we grow up and stop this foolishness? :3eye:

I wonder how many nuns will be there.

None.

Why, you need a date?
