These are apparently photographs of people, things and moments in Russia which are, for the most part, REALLY strange (and funny!).  Here

For those last minute Xmas gifts, why not use Microsoft gift guide 2007

For such beauties as “Plan and track weight loss $19″ to “Give a gift of peace of mind, SimplyFile an overflowing inbox. 50% off” then why not visit the Microsoft gift store for 2007 where these and lots of other wonderful add-ons can be picked up.

“Professional backgrounds for PowerPoint for only $199″ – Surely they should have thought of those when developing PowerPoint in the first place … and does this mean that the backgrounds which were included with the software are NOT “Professional”

Note to self – find FreeWare alternatives to those add-ons listed and post  :-)

Voice of the London Underground sacked for blogging funny fake announcement audio

The woman who reads the London Underground “next stop” announcements has apparently been sacked for keeping a blog in which she would record funny fake announcments, like “Residents of London are reminded that there are other places in Britain outside your stinking shithole of a city, and if you removed your heads from your arses for just a couple of minutes, you may realise that the M25 is not the edge of the Earth”

BOOMP3 has catpured the MP3s here

    Online couple cheated WITH EACH OTHER !!!

    www.metro.co.uk is carrying a story about a married couple who ended up dating each other through an online chat room.  “Sweetie” and “Prince of Joy” spent hours telling each other about their marriage troubles.  Apparently the truth emerged when the two turned up for a date and are now getting divorced after each accusing the other of being unfaithful.

    “I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be,” Sana, 27, said.
    Adnan, 32, said: “I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years”.

    Everything is bigger in Texas – even the spider WEBs

    One enormous spider WEB (650Ft) has been reported in Lake Tawakoni state park in Texas, US.  Apparently the work of millions of tiny spiders (should we be thankful that this was not *one big spider* !!) getting together and possibly starting from a central point and working out.  Social CobWeb has been used to describe this, maybe google will sue  :-)

    The Red Hot Chilli Pipers

    The name, the tunes, the attitude …. what more do you need. Presenting: The Red Hot Chilli Pipers

    9 words women use….

    I don’t know the original source of this, but these are so true and funny ……

    1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

    3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

    4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

    5. Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

    6. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

    7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome.

    8. Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying F@!K YOU!

    9. Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response, refer to #3.

    Film trailer for "Be Kind Rewind"

    Jack Black and Mos Def are video store clerks who manage to erase a bunch of movies on video tape, so to save the business they have to remake them.  In remaking films like GHOSTBUSTERS and ROBOCOP, they start something of a movement. Michel Gondry’s latest movie looks really, really good !!!!
