Oops. I’ve forgotten to post things. But also, no news has happened since July, so maybe that’s fair enough…

According to the BBC, the Cupacabra is still loose:

Tests end Texan goat-sucker stir

US scientists say an animal found in Texas is not the chupacabra - or goat-sucker - of American myth, but a coyote with a hair loss problem.

From the beeb (here):

Glamour model Jordan and pop star Peter Andre have named their baby daughter Princess Tiaamii.

Jordan, who was born Katie Price, said the first name was chosen because the girl was “our princess”.

And Andre came up with the middle name by combining his mother’s name, Thea, with that of Jordan’s mother, Amy.

Now I could be uncharitable and say they’re both a bunch of big thickos, or that she’s clearly not skilled at choosing first-names (Um… Jordan vs. Katie… which is hotter?) But really I just want to say that it’s wonderful to have such comical celebrities in this country.

Jail for drink-driving or:

“We’ve put an accent over the first A to make it more exotic and two Is at the end just to make it look a bit different,” Jordan told OK! magazine.

Umm…. UK WINS.

England moves into the realms of the civilised by moving the Human Rights of people who don’t want to die of cancer above the Human Rights of people who do.

England smoking ban takes effect

Don’t get me wrong, all this news does is make me want some nicotine, but I also want to get wasted and vomit on ugly people and those bureaucrats in Whitehall have legislated against THAT, so why should the smokers have all the fun?

In October, the smoking age is going to be increased to 18 (pity the poor little 17-year-old addicts, and hope they don’t move on to crack) and um, yeah, basically, I’m generally pleased. When you live in the land of pub culture and go to quite a few gigs, it’s no fun to smell those reeky clothes in the morning.

Here’s to hoping that the pubs don’t end up smelling of warm farts and perfume, like they apparently do in Dublin…

p.s. oh yeah, apparently the terror threat here is at critical.

Can’t wait to be stopped and searched.

Go rent ‘Children of Men‘

p.p.s. We have a new Prime Minister (no relation)

This resignation/ascension only took about 200 years from start to finish… I’ve been waiting so long to see the tail-end of Blair, and now he’s a middle-east peace envoy. Nice turn-around, Tony.

Ok, so I’ve totally squandered being ‘London’ but anyway, my exam is finished and in theory I can dedicate myself back to music, fun, and big brother 8.

To prove I love you all, here’s Of Montreal’s Kevin doing “The Past Is A Grotesque Animal” acoustic(ly).

Thanks, AOL!
