It’s not quite as glamorous as Santa Monica Pier. Maybe I wasn’t looking closely enough, but I didn’t see Paris Hilton making a film here. It does, however, bring back memories of living in Southsea while I was at uni. It’s good to see that the shirtless and fake Burberry capped youths haven’t change their style one bit, but actually, I was thinking. A fairground is probably an acceptable place to wear a Burberry cap. It’s like grown men and football shirts, acceptable while you’re at a game, or playing in one. I may go again. Where would one purchase a fake Burberry hat? |
… but don’t you think there’s a little bit of similarity in MTV’s SeenON MTV Store and iTunes album covers view?

There’s a real hazard in doing a reasonable amount of swimming, the rate at which you go through swimming shorts. Most clothes generally don’t disintegrate whilst you’re wearing them. That’s not true with swimming shorts, these are the third pair this year that have malfunctioned mid-swim. They were also my favourites (known by one other regular swimmer as my Hasselhoff Shorts).
I have around ten pairs on rotation and I’d say each pair might last around a year, given how much I swim, it works out as a mean time to failure of around 70 miles (I’m assuming poncing around in the steam room after doesn’t really cause much wear and tear). It’s annoying and dangerous that you can’t tell when they might go, but the odd thing is they always tear in exactly the same place, on the front of my left leg.
… but, I really hate to see the words “improved recipe” on any food I buy. If you’re already buying something, you’re clearly happy with what it tastes like and was there ever anyone who didn’t like a food product, noticed it had a new recipe and thought they’d try it again? I don’t think so.
I’m somewhat concerned to see the packaging on my all time favourite food. Let’s hope this isn’t a return to the dark period in the early 90s when I made my mum sieve every portion of lentil soup, as the then new “improved recipe” made it somewhat lumpy (they went back to the original recipe after a couple of years). Thankfully my emergency stockpile (you really can’t be too careful) is over ten tins deep, so it’ll be a couple of weeks till I find out.

It’s the important matters of the day that we discuss over dinner at work.
Take something that has been happening for years, give it a scary new name, warn of the dangers. Half the news stories this week have been about Tombstoning, what in the olden days, was just called jumping off cliffs.
