Another classic from Simon over at Los 3 Gato Cypriato. I think I might just head off to some island somewhere and blog about it; looks like fun.

I've just finished reading a phriends (scratch that, I don't work with him any more) friends new blog, The Three States if Cypriot Cats. It's a series of musings on the ex-pat life in a small Village in Cyprus. It's well written, witty and well observed.

If anyone asks you, I don't live in the England, right? I'm from Beverly Hills. See, I was listening to Keane's new album, Under the Iron Sea, and thinking to myself that I cannot think of any similar music. Then it occurred to me that maybe I hadn't listened to enough music to decide that there wasn't any similar around! I'd read something a while ago about Pandora. This site builds you

Big Brother is over - and, no surprise, Pete (aka Tourrettes boy) won it. Earlier I mentioned that I'd put bets on three of the housemates to win, Pete, Imogen and Glynn. I was hoping for Glynn to win it, purely and simply because I stood to make the most money out of him winning (£21). As it was, with Pete winning, I got £6, which is a measly £1 profit. Shame you couldn't bet each-way on Big

It started small, with Tamagotchi batteries; you've got to get your Tamagotchi batteries from somewhere, right? Then it got a little bigger, an Analogue cable TV receiver; every home should have one. But I think I could have gone a little too far with the Porsche Boxter. I'm sure Suzy will understand.

I've surprised myself, once again, at how my brain works. In short, it doesn't. I see an opportunity to watch a nice football game at the pub with a few friends, fine, great even. Because it's a special occasion, I agree with my wife that it's OK if I go out for a few beers after the game with my friends, just to catch the other matches, fine, great. So why is it that I went utterly mental? I

Am I a fetishist? I find shoulders attractive. A good pair of shoulders, to me, is probably better than a good pair of legs - so why is it that shoulders get such a bad rap? How many times have you heard someone say 'what a great pair of blades' ? I'll wager (uh-oh, gambling is back) that the answer is never. On the other hand, how many times have you heard someone say they will 'shoulder the

You should know something about me, I'm very faddy. I am guessing, that if you're reading this blog you probably already realised that I get heavily into something for a while, really enjoy it, and then get bored. Well, it didn't take long, but I think I've reached the end of my teather with Big Brother. All the interesting people are walking, or have walked, out of the house. The ones that are

There is nothing worse in this world than a man using women's words. I don't mean words about women, no, I mean words that have clearly been designed with ladies in mind. Words like tea-cake, smooch, and yummy. There really should be a ban on the use of these words, by men, in public places. We have a smoking ban, and, whilst I find the smell of someone else's smoke on my clothes mildly

I caved - I had given myself 2 weeks before I would start watching BB7, as it turns out, it only took me 2 days (and it was probably less than that). I've decided that I cannot keep banging on about Big Brother over here though, so I created a blog specially for that event: bb7-uk.blogspot.com. What I am going to do, just for fun, is create some unofficial biographies of the housemates, I'm

I don't watch Big Brother, but, I think I just saw that they put a guy who claims to have Tourettes syndrome in the house. This is a master stroke from show's creators, Endemol. They will now not have to bleep any of the Big Brother episodes. Doing so would constitute discrimination. The result? Viewing figures will go through the (already pretty high) roof. I know it's going to happen. I know

The story goes like this, I have a friend who has a phriend who was receiving some excellent information about horse races. He was going to pass this information on to me, and I was going to make a whopping tax-free profit. Needless to say, it was a scam - and one that was actually up and running! The good

At what age does it become unacceptable to use the word 'dude' in conversation? You may think that there is no age at which it is acceptable to use the word 'dude', and you would not be alone in this opinion. The odd thing is, I thought exactly that until I was in my mid twenties, and then, for some reason, it became OK. I am now in my mid thirties and, the other day, someone responded to my

I have been 'encouraged' to state that an undisclosed company are not, as previously reported, evil scam-mongers. In fact, they are just good business people with a strong understanding of what is fair.

Nothing particularly interesting about this - but I found a picture from our local paper of the time we went on a tour of historic sites around our home town, Southampton. Even though quite a lot of the older buildings were knocked down during the second world war, there is still a fair bit to see, for example, the building in the background is Bargate, the ancient entrance to the city (although
