I love a lot of things

about this picture.

I love the fact that for every piece of spam I receive wanting my bank details there are dozens of idiots whose greed gets the better of them and hand their lives over...

I love the fact that simultaneously there are a couple of people who have so much time on their hands that they construct complex stories for weeks on end just to get a picture of the Con Man doing something ridiculous.

I love the fact that they then put these pictures on the internet so I can see them.

And lastly, I also love that on Jesus' Second Coming*, he finds himself trying to hustle a living in Sierra Leone conning naive Europeans. What a shitty hand to be dealt.


* For those who don't get the reference... A loaf and some fish... And a Celtic shirt??! Of course the man is Jesus.

Europeans

Looking at this video reminds me that Europe isn't so great after all... I think I made the right decision in going to the Troubadour instead of making sure I caught that plane.

ps I'll try to post on different subjects as soon as I get over myself.

holiday through computers

instead of actually going on holiday I'm now going to have to live the experience through my computer. I have to say, THIS is a holiday I would like to be going on. Wow Wee!!

After weeks of anticipation - Ben Rayner has LANDED!(as you can see below)

bad start

"Boris Johnson, the new London mayor, made his first policy announcement today – banning the consumption of alcohol on all public transport in the capital from June 1.

However, the move immediately drew criticism from transport unions claiming the policy could endanger transport staff.

From next month anyone found drinking or carrying open alcohol containers on any of London's buses, tube trains, trams or the Docklands Light Railway is liable to be ejected. If the offender resists, the British Transport police can be called to help remove them."

Mens Health

Erm, is this thing an annual or something? Every time I see it in shops or advertised I'm sure it has exactly the same picture on the cover with the same headline – 'Lose your Gut', or 'Get a 6 pack'. Do these guys realize the reason their magazine gets left on the shelf for a whole year is because anybody who gives a shit about that sort of thing already has 6 packs?
