Hard hat

Yep, you need yer hard hat to visit the site right now, doin' a bit of construction. Started off by putting in the links to Karen and Trevor's sites, then you know how it goes, just try a bit of colour here...ah well, probably be like this for a few days then I'll get fed up with it and change it all back.

The United States is carrying a hefty debt at the moment, not going to be monkey-man's problem for too much longer, so we could then see the sabotaging of a democratic president who is stuck with a huge deficit and can't implement any public spending. However, with that in mind, it did surprise me somewhat to see that they were spending money on research that comes to the conclusion, 'Domestic violence damages women.' Phenomenally insightful, however that turned out to be down to poor journalism rather than uninspired science, because the article itself was more concerned with the extent of the problem given that much of the abuse goes unreported.

The temperature here today is way too hot for me, I feel like a wilting lettuce, I'm hoping to swelter less in England. At the very least in Portsmouth we get a breeze from the sea most of the time.
Canadian polar bears it seems are not suffering as much as had been thought. Although last week the news was all doom and gloom for these cuddly killers, it looks now as though news of their demise had been greatly exaggerated. Tchyeah, environmentalists huh? They'd go to any lengths to save the planet, even tell lies about polar bears, whatever next.

So it seems that someone somewhere has got the idea that sex only sells to really stupid men and that there are women and non-stupid men who have money. God/dess bless that person.
'Booth babes' are apparently no longer de riguer at an LA electronic gaming exhibition, although there are at least two of the species who don't get it. They have a banner claiming to be rated 'E for everyone'. Well guess what ladies, you're not.
I can't help thinking of that scene in Fried Green Tomatoes where Kathy Bates rams her car into that of two annoying barbie dolls. Their feeling is that they're young and beautiful and should be able to expect never to have anything bad happen. Bates's character points out that she's old enough to have really good insurance and her own money and she just doesn't give a damn.

One more reason to love both Sainsburys and Tesco, is that they are both becoming greener than ever. Did I mention that it's only four more days until Kevin and I arrive in Sainsbury-land ?
