(Re-)Touch me!

Ok, I can't leave myself out of this.


I love lego

I once ordered a bag of bird food over the internet. I didn't pay attention and got a very very large bag delivered.  

Did I mention I love lego?

Snowman festive me

Super-injunction?  Twitter spreads the real news.   As does Photoshop.

Happy Halloween - my new motorcycle helmet

Matt's Bette noir

 A long long time ago, Matt teased me about liking the films Beaches, with Bette Midler.   After some discussion we concluded that A) I haven't seen it, B) Matt cried when he watched it.   Matt LOVES Bette Midler.   



After that it seemed any time Matt said anything about me another photo of him would appear on FaceBook.   Mysteriously.

Matt Fact 1. Did you know he was once in the Spice Girls?


Matt Fact 2. Did you know Matt can't tell the difference between Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce?


Matt Fact 3.  Matt likes dogs.







Draw Something (intelligible)

Hooray for Draw Something app.   What fun to play with friends.   If only everyone took as much time over it as me.   I get serious guessing anxiety - especially when people send me stuff like this:



Is  that an arrow?   Is that a man?   Why are there no vowels?   Can you even make a word with three Xs, three Gs?   I think I'll go back to Words With Friends.

I am in the toilet right now - For Squares

What - WHAT - is with checking in?   I just don't get it.   Check it out - I'm at the station!  Check it out I'm at the pub! Can I come? No - but you can stalk me.   


Rugby world cup stereotyping

In the recent Rugby world cup it was great to see countries taking part  that I never knew played rugby.   I particularly enjoyed the New Zealand vs Japan game, and swore I recognized some of the Team USA players.




Duchess in disguise

The Duchess of York and Princess Eugenie visited a Turkish orphanage in disguise, making an undercover film.   I wonder how they were disguised and if they were recognized.



It's not all about Amy me me

Amy!   Again!   Not satisfied with attending the Royal wedding, Photoshop cast her as the new James Bond.


Jessica & Johnny sitting in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G

Cousin Jess asked to be introduced to heart-throb Johnny Depp.   I checked my contacts book.   Photoshop to the rescue!


Amy me me

Amy asked me to Photoshop her and her friends into the Royal wedding last year.





In the general Royal wedding hysteria I found myself somewhat affected.




Oh brother!

Here's my brother, who commissioned some FaceBook Photoshopped profile pics.  










London Re-Elects

London mayoral elections.   What a wonderful choice:   everyone is voting not for who they want but to ensure the other doesn't get in.   Our democratic right to choose between Baby Boris & Ken-Newt - a philandering Murdoch Party rep or an odious narcissist who pushed his pregnant girlfriend downstairs and makes anti-Semitic sounding comments.   VOTE! VOTE! Or the other one will get in!   FEAR!

Honest Italian Names



Here's a screenshot from the 2012 Giro d'Italia.   No Photoshopping.   Don't say the Italians don't have a sense of humour.


That's the name of the town they were cycling through, not the TV graphics guy having a break-down.

Anti Social Network

Wow, joining Google+ was like turning up to a confusing, tragic, empty, alcohol-free party where music is not allowed and everyone who actually turned up is on their phone to someone else not at the party telling them not to come to the party.


FaceBook's "Like" button maybe a bit rubbish, but "+1"?   No, Google, no.  -1.
