how outrageous I am so boycotting

Air New Zealand and Qantas have banned men from sitting next to unaccompanied children on flights, sparking accusations of discrimination.

happy birthday to you

Happy (belated) Birthday to Ian at Blogadoon. Not his real birthday obviously but his blog is 5. Yay!

A few other belated real Birthdays have been happening recently too like Scally for instance.

Footballers Underpants

How on earth did I miss this? The world of football is going underpants crazy!
My favourite quote being “The Laurent Lunchbox has become a veritable summer picnic hamper of moist goodies…”

Then of course there is the Guardian and the smalltalk column and the penchant for asking footballers about their smalls.

Small Talk: Roy Race
Would you mind telling me what colour underpants you’re wearing today?
[Answers instantly] They’re red and yellow. [Small Talk wonders, aloud as it turns out, what style of pant Roy Race might take] I can’t answer that, Small Talk, I’ve already given away too much personal information!

Small Talk: Frank McAvennie
Ahem, assuming you’re wearing any, Frank, what colour underpants have you gone for today?
I’m wearing a pair of black Calvin boxer shorts. I wear black all the time actually, Small Talk, the colour hides a multitude of sins [laughs long and loud].

More footballers and their undies or buys some undies with your own wording and numbers from footypants

Is everyone doing a naked calendar this year?

Last year I wanted the Manchester Uni calendar – mainly for the month of May.

This year I am spoilt for choice. The french rugby team now have more and more competition not least from the cardiff lions.

Naked Marines

Ritual Abuse in the armed forces is rife. Making marines strip naked and mud wrestle is one thing. I’ve been to many a party like that (ahem) but the video the ‘News’ of the World publicised at the weekend is no ones idea of fun.
Followed of course by the Mirrors Exclusive of another shocking naked marine video.

I have a feeeling this will escalate in the papers trying to out do each other with worse shocking revelations.

I pity the poor soldiers who now have their naked bodies all over the press.

want more nakedness? how about a naked calendar or ivan massow naked or

I wonder if…

I used the phrase Ivan Massow Naked with his Pink Motorola V3 Razr and CTU ringtone all in the same post would google melt?
It seems that those three phrases were all anyone over the past week searched for to get here.
So for those of you searching here they are in no particular order.
CTU Ringtones (24 TV Series), Pink Motorola V3,and Ivan Massow Naked

madonna at koko

I was amazed when working for a Time Warner company came up trumps for me on Tuesday. We has a staff competition and at stake were 2 pairs of tickets for the Madonna show at Koko in Camden.
Imagine my suprise then when Corp Comms called me to tell me I had won the tickets. I was a little overwhelmed and it left me with a dilemma. Andy was working away as usual during the week (he would naturally have been my number one choice) so I had to decide who could go at short notice. Matt ended up being the lucky recipient as we had only been discussing at the weekend how he had never been to see her maj in concert. I needed to fix that immediately.
So we legged it to Camden to collect the tickets from the box office. Casually wandering past the crowds of people who had been queueing overnight to get tickets. To be fair we hadn’t realised they had been there all night.

So Then it was a little like waiting for a flight except the lounge was fancier and it had a huge mirror ball in the ceiling. Waiting from 7:30 until 10 when madge was due on stage. I had bets that she would not turn up on time. She never has at any concert I have been to before.
She did arrive on time though and did a quick set for about 30 minutes or so. It was brilliant and I really enjoyed it but I can’t honestly say I’d have been happy if I’d waited overnight to get in.

Neil Tennant and the other celebrities in the VIP lounge seemed to enjoy themselves too.
So all in all a fabulous Tuesday evening and as soon as I can get bluetooth working again I’ll upload some pics.
