It’s typical: we get Ann Widdecombe while the Ukrainians get Yulia Timoshenko.
Next time anyone complains about Blair being image-obsessed I’m just going to point them towards Yulia’s capacious online album. I love all the very similar shots of her touching her ear and gazing sadly into the middle distance. But that’s not all she does: there are also shots of her cooking, attending the Matrix III Ukrainian premiere and looking pretty without touching her ear. The woman’s talents are limitless, and with more politicians like this I’m sure the Ukraine wouldn’t have got themselves into such a mess with the election. Who’d care who won as long as she could cook and look lovely gazing into middle distance all at the same time?
If Blunkett gets wind of this new honey on the political scene he’ll have her a visa before you can say “rat up a drainpipe”.
Just one last one before I go to bed, then that’s my lot: Statesman or Skatesman?
Iraq follows in the US’s footprints and initiates a colour-coded terror advisory system.
One of my favourite Internet videos of all time is the one where Anthea Turner gets hit by the motorbike and set on fire.
I hate to seem obsessed with the finest politician of our times, but this really deserved a post of its own rather than a comment to the last item. So, blogrot is happy to blog… the Kilroy Introduction Generator. Refresh the page for a new introduction.
Bonus points for cybersquatting the orange wanker.
A rare plug for a bitrot.net stable-mate: the Sneaky Dilbert Grabber now features forward and back buttons for easier Dilbert browsing.
Now I’m no football expert, but this yellow card seems a bit harsh to me.
I read the headline. I dared to hope it might be true. I clicked the link with fevered hand… and oh, what a pay-off!
It truly makes me proud to live in Manchester. I’m only disappointed that none of the news sites seem to have a picture of the momentous event. Given that the event happened at Manchester High School for Girls in Rusholme, the silver-topped perma-tan can consider himself lucky he wasn’t covered in curry. (Given the choice between that foreign muck and the honest, home-grown, hard-working, Anglo-Saxon kind, I think I know which he’d prefer.)
Needless to say, I will be glued to this week’s Any Questions to gauge the effect the attack has had on our hero’s ordinarily unshakable level-headedness and compassion for all humanity.
Espresso Stories is a website for stories of 25 words or less. You can find mine here.
…and so it’s a good job I was sitting down when, on the hunt for some freebie wallpaper, I did a Google search for “wicker man” and found this bag of piss instead.
