To our American friends, it should be pointed out that an ass-hole is a large hole in the ground filled up with donkeys.
Whilst such a landscape feature is curious, it remains a mystery as to why it causes so much excitement over there.

You know those annoying ads you can see surrounding this posting ? The ones that don’t go anywhere near paying for the costs of running this site ?
I get to see them myself, and was somewhat surprised to find one today that had just a teensy little problem with it :-
Nine Mistakes You Should Avoid in 2011
Which was advertising a financial services company. Got to admit that whilst anyone can make a mistake, I would be very unlikely to let someone near my money who is likely to make this sort of mistake!

This is one of those things that you can use to distinguish those who have no sense of fun (“it’s useless”) from those worth having a pint with (“cool!”).

News is serious stuff – perhaps a bit too serious. I am all in favour of news – I watch and read a fair bit of it, and I like knowing what is going on in the world. But does it all have to be so serious ? We need a little more like :-

It actually would not be that hard to stick a few more “light” news items into today’s news. Usually news stories take a great deal longer to explain than is really necessary. Once we know that three people have been injured by a raging bull in Pamplona, we do not need much extra explanation – those of us capable of understanding either already know why bulls are likely to injure people in Pamplona or are quite capable of looking up the necessary information. It isn’t necessary to spoon feed us.
Especially when making usual news reports shorter allows us to see a more balanced view of the world. Normal news shows give us the impression that nothing happens “out there” but disaster and catastrophe. There is plenty of that sure, but there is also plenty of plain old boring days happening together with the occasional oddity that could make it to the BBC’s “Odd Box”.
