Bite on the bum

Posted: 21st October 2010 by Annie in Ramblings

I have recently been feeling that perhaps blogs and anything on a public forum, start like cute little, innocent puppies with doe eyed beauty but gradually grow into over familiar, smelly snarling beasts that come to bite you on the bum when you turn your back. All very well if you are a well toned bottomed [...]

Metal Detecting Puppy

Like my good buddy Age, my better half comes up with lists for his birthday and Christmas which like Age’s list often exceed my budget. This year my better half has got two things in the top ten gift list, which I have now been inspired to create. (Always nice when you make the effort [...]

Being ill and watching Sweeney Todd don’t go.

Posted: 15th October 2010 by Annie in Ramblings, Reviews

This week I was ill. One sick day I decided to watch the Tim Burton version of ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’, as you do, (the one bonus of sickness is watching films after all). A friend had recommended it and was particularly impressed by the fact that the stars actually perform [...]

Meeting Leonard Nimoy

Posted: 14th October 2010 by Annie in Ramblings

The title is a little misleading, as it was not I after all who met the man also known as Spock from Star Trek. A previous post this week (scottish-star-trek) reminded me of this event though and because I know trekkies are everywhere, they may appreciate this tale. My mum met Leonard Nimoy at a book [...]

CHOWDER – The Ocean’s Manna

If you have never tried this sweet thing…please please do. I had it for the first time the weekend before last and was blown away. It is basically fish soup. I don’t like fish that much, but I like this. It may come in a whole cobbler loaf. I don’t like the look of food [...]

‘I’d like to discuss a proposition with you… …..a little idea I’ve had involving a McYeti theme’

Everyone’s getting younger

Posted: 8th October 2010 by Annie in Ramblings

Recently on facebook I happened to notice my friend’s new profile picture looking shall we say, a little more youthful and fresh. Now courtesy and good manners insist that women tell their female friends ‘you look great’, ‘have you lost weight?’ or similar…unless you bump into a friend like the one I did the other [...]

Tender moment on live TV

Posted: 6th October 2010 by Annie in Ramblings

I’m not sure this is for real, but made me chuckle – you just don’t expect it!

If only I could post photos…I said that without even thinking, haha yes I cannot work that out yet, well I lost the lead that makes the magic happen anyway! I had an idea for some bad pictures of me in an afro wig I own. Anyway back to Google images to find something that [...]

Thanks Stephen Hawking!

“Into the Universe – The Story of Everything” I have been watching his show and actually feeling brain overload for a few days afterwards. It is really concise and easy to follow, which I like, but the facts are cosmic (strangely enough!). This weekend it was enough to find out that Voyager 1 travels at [...]
