part of me thought - ah, a good dose of common sense from the beeb to show this and another thought, coo-ee, thats a bit strong isnt it. Cant win can you?
I didnt say I didnt like it. I found some of it quite chortlesome. I said I was surprised to see it on telly - i.e. I was surprised it got past the PC brigade.
the Harry Enfield show last night seemed to sail remarkably close to the wind... I'm not saying some sketches didnt make me chortle - I was just surprised it was on telly. If you made a joke about 'Parking Pataweyo' in the workplace you'd be out on your ear... wouldnt you?
ooh it gets earlier every year... this year its so early they are actually advertising for Xmas 2011. Its not Xmas until the 'holidays a-coming' Coke advert. That is a scientific fact.
I was once asked for money from a guy who claimed to have been mugged in Finsbury Park. He said he was a charity worker helping vulnerable families and he needed ?20 to get home. I was completely taken in and even when he took my number on his phone to contact me and return the money later on I didnt click and handed over the cash. 50 yards later I was 'doh!' Learnt my lesson and I never help people any more. Not even a tiny bit.
abbotsbury has a giant swannery. its really impressive especially when the signets are around. if you dont mind travelling a little further then there is a sealife centre at Weymouth (pretty basic though) and Monkey World in wool is an absolute must. largest collection of monkeys in the world outside Africa. also there is a tank museum there too. West Bay is only 20 minutes away and is worth a look. taking a stroll around Hardy's house and Hardy's monument is nice too. we were there a couple of years ago for the second week in October and it was baking hot so we played badminton on the beach alot.
stealing the entire contents of a fridge is a bit weird. I mean that takes a bit of planning and logistics. to be honest though if that had happened in my halls i wouldnt have reported it - and i wouldnt have told my parents. it would have just gone down as 'funny fresher story'.
