I was just {accidentally} flicking through (the childrens) TV channels when I saw this childrens Toy advertised. It is a Barbie dog that Poos! How gross is that? Surely toys are for escapism not for realism. And it looks like you can feed it the poo as well? what sort of example is that to set for kids?

And all this realistic toy stuff, when will it end? Will we get a Time of the Month Barbie? Free with tampon accessory? Or even Premature Ejaculation Ken- sponsored by Kleenex. It is utter madness.

I am off out in a minute to see 28 weeks later. I havent seen the first film, so I hope that wont spoil it.

You wouldnt believe this.... I find it difficult to believe that anyone can be a bad as this on the roads!

(I am taking my life into my own hands here writing this post)

My OH's brother and his friend went home yesterday. Now he is very practical and good with his hands- he can strip a car down and rebuild it- however in other areas of ...er....common sense... he is a bit lacking!
And this includes mapreading- so it seems.
Now last week my OH drove up there (Devon) and convoyed them back here. But we thought they would be fine getting back on there own. Normally when we go down to Devon we take the coast road A27->M27->A30 and so on. Now that could be quite complicated, so we decided to give them an alternative route homw.
Go up the A21 join the M25 West. Join the M4 West follow it until you get to the M5 South. To me that sounds easy!

They left at 10am. They shoul have been home at 3 or 4pm.
At 5pm my OH got a phone call. "This will be them telling us they are home" she said.
...
... "We're still on the M25!" was the reply!
Seven hours and they had been driving around the M25 not knowing where to get off!!!

We suggested that they get directions. They were then told by a policeman to go up the M1 and join the M25 from there!!!!! The M1! That's totally the other direction! And from what I can remember the M5 and M1 dont meet.
At 8pm (and somewhere up the M1 I imagine they were told by a kindly lorry driver to find a route South.
When we called at 11pm they were on the M5.

Now that would have been a hell of a journey!
