Yes - Just thought it would be worth apologizing to fans of clubs like Spurs and Arsenal, Newcastle and Fulham etc. I know you thought that your teams would roll over Hull City this year. As a Hull fan I sincerely apologize that this didn't happen and instead - YOU GOT MAULED BY THE TIGERS! Hahahaha....

And Manchester City. We are so sorry to have taken Geovanni from you on a free transfer only for you to find out what a great soccer player and goal scorer he actually is. Apologies to you too.... LOL.

Geovanni, Hull City play, scoring against the Spurs.... watch and weep Manchester City fans....

Investment analyst and entrepreneur Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with the Following:

"The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part."

Are you????

I was in Paris on Monday. Nice city but impossible to find a Taxi there.

I arrived at Orly airport Sunday evening and wanting to save a little money thought I would take the train into Paris. My first problem was finding a cash machine. Arriving in Paris, I walked for 20 minutes in ever widening circles trying every cash machine I found. Many would not take my card and the rest were out of cash! Bit of a problem really since I had no Euro's on me.

Eventually I did get cash but then turned my attention to getting a cab for the remainder of the journey to my hotel. Plenty of cabs but not one free. I stood at a Taxi site - nothing... not a single cab showed there in 40 minutes. I gave up and decided to walk....

So are you all cowards or what? 53 reads on my poll on porn and only two voters! Come on - its anonymous.... give us your opinion! Vote now here

Is it me or is underwear simply getting to the point where it is pretty irrelevant? In the past, I have posted the old "positive proof of global warming picture" which really alludes to this same fact. It's a funny picture but you know it is simply true... underwear is getting smaller and smaller and smaller..... it is disappearing.

I often ponder how it is that women can wear thongs? I mean, isn't it uncomfortable? And then there is the unmentioned question too... I mean, I'm all in favour of thongs. They look great but are they really practical when it comes to the intended purpose of underwear?

Eighth Place
In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place
A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who 'totally zoned when he ran,' accidentally, jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

Sixth Place
While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom! When it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

I've been posting to this blog now for around 6-months. Traffic has built up over that time and I must have made 200 posts already. I had assumed that a site that looked at the news and life in a sarcastic and humorous manner would attract a variety of people - perhaps mostly student age. Was I wrong!

Web statistics show that the vast majority of my readers are men between the ages of 40 and 48. Women - where are you? Students - where are you? Finding out this fact, I started to do some research...

Well, this video is simply belly rippingly funny... A soccer referee gives a stellar performance and brings the crowd to its feet...

For the first time ever I recently visited a solarium. I'm fair skinned and fair haired but in the last few years I tend to tan well on the face and arms making it appear that I am wearing a white T-shirt when on the beach. Add to that the fact I go lobster red and suffer agony, I thought getting a few minutes in a solarium might help me out this year.

What I hadn't counted on was that you sunbathe naked in a solarium right. You get a tan where the sun don't normally shine and since it don't normally shine there the skin is very very sensitive.... ouch!

And laying in that glowing tunnel that is the tanning bed makes me feel well claustrophobic. I have this horrible thought that they mis-program the thing and instead of 8 minutes they come running round when they smell me burning. Smoked rant man anyone?

Sometimes you have to wonder about people in the advertising business. I mean where on earth do they get their ideas? In this commercial we find that romance is the best strategy and that romance isn't dead but swimming......

Imagine. You drive to work listening to the radio weaving through traffic. Finally, you reach your office car park and pull into an available space, grab your coffee and rather sleepily exit your vehicle. Then ..... this...

That's what I call a near miss........

And a chocolate egg too.

I got to say I get very annoyed with some drivers. They cut you off, drive too close when trying to pass - almost as if wanting to push you faster - and generally behave like road hooligans. I used to dream about having one of those neon signs attached to the roof of my car so I could flash various messages to these idiots like 'back off you bast**d'. But then I lived in Texas and I realized that the chances were quite high the other driver would be packing a gun....

But, I have finally found my dream car, the car that no one would ever argue with and a small gun would be no defense against. This is what I would like to drive....

Yeah - come and try to push me off the road or cut me off and I'll blow you to Kingdom Come.......You don't want to have to face my road rage if I am driving this mother.

In the Czech Republic, you have a birthday AND a name day (svatek). People text you happy name day and you get small gifts and so on from friends and relatives. It's a neat idea really. If you buy a Czech diary, it lists the 'name' for each day of the year so everyone knows the calendar of name days.

Now, there is another side to this becuase the Czech's essentially have a limited number of names to chose from for their children. After all, there are only 365 days in a year and you want your child to have a name day right? This means that there isn't the variation in first names here like there is in the USA for example. You pick your kid's name from the official list of names with a name day.

For us foreigners it's also problemmatic. I get to buy gifts for my Czech friends here on their name day but I don't have one - my name 'Gary' isn't in the calendar..... aghhhhh.

This tradition also applies to pet names I recently discovered. I was shown the official dog name calendar by my girlffriend becuase lo and behold.... dog's called 'Gary' do have a name day... enough said?

Don't you just wish this were real? It's not but it is funny. It's Bill and I wish it were Hillary but oh well.

What is it?

Well, it's a foreign commercial featuring a nerd, a voodoo doll and Bill - need I say more?

Ever wonder what people mean when they say you can have the bigger half? A half is a half so how can one half be bigger or smaller?

I guess these days CNN isn't known for its accuracy in news anymore. Overseas we all sit waiting for it's latest goof and they happen frequently. One can only assume that the well publicized lack of geographical knowledge among Americans in general simply expresses itself in CNN's errors.

What am I talking about you ask?

Well, CNN consistently produces maps that are simply wrong, identifies foreign politicians incorrectly, uses the wrong flags for countries it is reporting on or from and generally just screws up more than an organization committed to delivering world news should. Frankly, it's pathetic that CNN can't get it's facts correct.

Let's show and example shall we....

To be honest, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this picture that I was sent recently. On the one hand, it is funny but imagine being this child?

Oh well......

Lot's of stories submitted for this issue.... enjoy!

Josh Willis presents The Mercury Girl - Jill Wagner posted at The Wi11is, saying, "The sexy girl from Mercury commercials used to play a vampire and alien on TV. Also video of amazing cute French singer Alizee"

If an alien arrived on Earth would we recognize it as an alien? I guess we always assume an alien will look humanoid but what if an alien looked - well - more like a dog? So here is my question to you. Is this an alien? Have they already arrived?

Need another look to be sure?

I'm not at all sure. But if it is just a plain old ordinary dog and the old adage is true that owners look their pets - I wouldn't want to meet this dog's owner!

Here is another link that I was sent that is very funny. Just click over to here. Enter your first name and last name in the spaces provided and click on 'vizualizer' to enjoy.

Who dreams this stuff up? and how do they have the time?

The Eurovision song contest has been going for decades. For American readers, its a contest between European nations for the best 'song' and its sheer nonsense but appears to be popular in Europe and particularly seems to have caught on in Central and Eastern Europe recently. The idea is that each European nation holds a mini Eurovision song contest and has its viewers vote for the song and act that will best represent the country in the main competition.

Generally, the songs are mediocre flop pop delivered by acts that seem to have the 80's in mind when it comes to fashion sense ad dance routines. The contest is also usually marred by block voting between the different countries so that rather than the best song/act winning the result is usually politically expedient. To me, its a reason why there will never be a real Europe filled, as it is, with national pride, block voting and politics. Yes - I detest the contest and never watch it or take any interest. But this year I will.

Don't know about you but I hate it when there are lots of flies around? I invested in a fly swatter to deal with the pesky things. The worst are mosquitoes which appear to just adore me and in the summer I will awake covered in bites. But now I have my swatter, I have had to redecorate to cover up all the tiny little blood marks left by swatting mosquitoes...

Anyway - if you enjoy swatting flies too, try this on line fly swatting game.

Occasionally you read stories about stupid thieves but for me the latest story is the most funny. Imaging raiding a bar intending to rob it only to find a meeting of 50+ bikers in progress there? Thats just what happened in Sydney according to a BBC news story. One would be robber was so keen to escape he tried to run THROUGH a plate glass door....

Thieves these days appear to be becoming more and more incompetent. Whatever happened to the idea of 'casing the joint?'

If the UK Government continues with its policy of slapping new taxes on everything or requiring licenses for things like smoking then this gentleman(!) will certainly be in trouble. No doubt he will have to purchase carbon credits to perform his little show.

But my real question is how is this family viewing on TV? Watch and let me know....

The City of New York has worked its "I love NY" slogan hard over the years but now one has to wonder if it shouldn't actually read "NY loves love". The City's health department yesterday (Valentine's Day) started to push a new and official New York condom complete with the words "Get Some" on the wrapper. The launch comes complete with TV commercials and condom give aways on the streets of New York.

“We want to give away as many condoms as people will use because we’re trying to make New York City an even safer place to have sex, and this is a powerful way to do it,” said Monica Sweeney, the Health Department’s assistant commissioner for HIV prevention and control.

Beer drinking can make you do some rather stupid things once you have had enough of the stuff. I already posted one good example of this feel good effect recently at Frying Tonight!. But recently, I was sent this very funny link. Hope you laugh as hard as I did?

I guess at some time or another everyone has had a vision test. You stare at a boring picture of letters that get smaller and smaller all the way down and try to recognize the letters for the tester. Boring, boring, boring. Well, here is an eye test that is bound to get the guys interest and also will likely lead to a distinct improvement in vision amongst men generally.

Of course, there is another thought that should accompany this eye test and that is what your friends always told you - yes, you will go blind if you do that. You see, as she gets naked, she gets smaller and smaller and smaller.....you get to see less and less.... aghhhhhhh!

They say that the 'Hills are Alive with Music' but this sheet music appears to be alive with something else. I imagine that it is most likely the original score to the movie kama sutra but I could be wrong...

Take a peek.. and don't blush please.

Oh that mother in law.... what to buy her as a gift for the birthday or Christmas. It needs to be something, well, cheap but useful and something that will make her feel good about you right?
Mother in laws are sometimes difficult to deal with and from time to time it's natural to harbor bad thoughts about them so buying that gift can be a real pain.

Lost dogs cause their owners all sorts of concerns because dogs and humans tend to build very close relationships. For some folks, a dog is like a child. Imagine then this poor lady's feelings as she desperately looks for her little lost dog.
