To Seph.. the love of my life..

Can anyone tell me why skimmed milk exists? What is it's purpose? It looks like cloudy water and strangely enough.. tastes like it too. I just had it on some cereal as it was all they had left at the shop and now i feel deprived and I'm sulking.. To be concise.. Skimmed Milk has no business masquerading as dairy product!!! pfft

I just watched the funniest thing on TV that I have seen in a long, long time, still wiping the tears of laughter from my face... Tourette De France Keith Allen teams up with a party of teenagers from the Tourette Scotland support group, and travels with them to France on a red Routemaster bus. Led by John Davidson, the group's ultimate goal is a visit to the Sal Petrier hospital in Paris, to see for themselves the place where their condition was first diagnosed, back in the late 19th century. As well as debunking the myriad preconceptions about the syndrome, Keith Allen's Tourette de France looks at the humorous side of society's reaction to Tourettes. By turns funny and touching, it gives the viewer a rare insight into a group of normal, likeable, and occasionally mischievous teenagers who are managing to live fulfilling and rewarding lives, despite the bizarre hand that fate has dealt them. If you get the chance to see this then you would be a fool to miss it... the part when they actually finally reach Paris after getting there in a clapped out London doubledecker bus doing 30mph and then shout out to the local Gendarme 'What's your problem, you skinny wee c*nt'...ahh just brilliant! If you are in the states then it is probably tough shit to you cos it's on UK Channel 4... :P

I was just reading Total Tattoo magazine, as I flicked over the page I was confronted with the most amazing images. I have found her website which is pretty sparse at the moment.. it only has a fraction of some of the images that I have had the delight to see but it is still well worth a look. To quote: Is she a phantom tattooist? Does she really exist? Not many people have seen her, there are not too many photographs of her but Claudia is real! She is a Swiss tattoo artist working in Amsterdam, doing tattoos that just blow the tattoo world to pieces! Judge for yourself what this mysterious woman is capable of.. www.claudiatat2.com

Over Christmas we are plagued with overtly festive advertisments on tv.. all of them looking awfully wintery with a generous blanket of snow... This however causes me a problem... my kids want to know 'Mum, how come it is christmas and we have no snow?' Now I live in England and we didn't always have a winter wonderland at Christmas but I can certainly remember a lot more of them when I was a kid. My daughters are nine and seven and I think they have only ever had one time when there enough snow to actually have some real fun with. This brings us to the issue.. why the fuck is that?.. Now I am not any kind of green warrior but I do try to do my bit. I recently bought a car with a small engine which has less emissions, I use energy efficient lightbulbs, I recycle and I threaten my kids with the death of the planet if they dare to leave lights on! Today I watched Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth... and you should too. If you watch this trailer and think that you really need to do more, then prove it, even if it is to watch the full movie and find out more information then go out and get it.. (if u are in the UK and want a copy then drop me a line). http://www.climatecrisis.net/ If you watch this and think it is a load of complete bollox and you don't give a shit then you can also show me that by de-friending or de-fanning me.
