D-Day Approach

Nice press release from the Freight Transport Association describing how they're going to resurrect a pontoon used in the D-Day landings in WWII to use for lorry parking in Calais.

One of the more creative stories of today, along with the one about Bushra getting married. (Except the second one is true.)

I'm lovin' it ... just a little bit more.

I'm sure some people love McDonalds food. But would they sleep with it? Andrew Teman thinks that this appears to be the ... er ... thrust of a new campaign in the US.

Brian Strain

Brian, who knows absolutely everything, has just emailed me this link. It's lots of fun, and very pretty, but I haven't found a use for it yet. You put a URL in, and then it uses Google to map all the links to it, in an ever changing world of coloured arrows and website URL's. As soon as I work out how to use it, I'll let you know.

I suppose now that you've 'rebooted' your whole site (and, incidentally, appear to be resisting my rebranding suggestion of 'marmiteman' so I shall give up on that one) you're going to have to write a new 'About Me' spiel. I shall look forward to it. Not that I'm telling you what to do (marmiteman) or anything, of course... x

Something smells

Q: Name three fishes that begin and end with the letter K

A1: Killer Shark
A2: Kwik-Save frozen haddock
A3: Kilmarnock

Why Kilmarnock? Because it's a place in Scotland.

(Apparently, Jack Straw's favourite joke, as repeated by Sue Arnold in 'The Observer'.)

20 things you missed

A handy digest of 20 stories you probably missed. Particularly good to know is that OFCOM has found that Rebecca Loos' pig was not unnecessarily degraded by the experience. Unlike Channel Five. Oh, and that one of the stories took place 3 miles from my house.
