It'd make me rethink the credit crunch, that's for sure.

Hmm - It does still seem a little quiet around here. Looks like everyone is living on twitter now. I still have a certain fondness for iamcal though, it pre-dated all of my other social networking!

Twitter sux, but not nearly as much as Faceboke. Plurk also sux, really, although I think I prefer it to twitter. I'm not posting in any of these places much anyway because it's a waste of time, really (and I'm too damn busy). Nobody gives a shit what I'm doing anyway, minute by minute, and why should they. And I don't give two tuppeny turds about the piddling details of most other people's lives either. If I do want to know, I'll mail them ffs.

miki - i just signed up to twitter but I dont understand it. I can just about understand why 300,000 might have an interest in Stephen Fry, as he is a lovely man, but what interest can he have in the 50,000 people he "follows" surely 99.99999999% off all the twitters that get sent to him are people saying "oh wow stephen fry you're great"

Twitter is dogshit IMHO.
Posted by che, 14th March 2009:
 
I was hoping someone could explain it in a way that doesn't boil down to:

millions of people shouting "look at me, look at what I'm doing, aren't I interesting" combined with "ooh look what people I've never met are doing" with a massive dose of celeb stalking.

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.

I notice Charlie Brooker is on there but the whole thing smells of Nathan Barley.

"look at me, look at what I'm doing, aren't I interesting"

it's worse, it's "look at me I'm brushing my teeth"

If your wife or girlfriend just lies there during love and you want more action, first ask yourself: Is she loglike outside of the bedroom? Because if she doesn't exercise, stretch, dance—anything—it's going to take some effort to bring out her inner bunny.

Before she can enjoy your body, she has to start enjoying her own. Invite her to go hiking, or buy her a gift certificate for yoga classes. Anything that will get her blood flowing is likely to liven up her sexual M.O. by raising her confidence in her body.

If she's already active yet carnally comatose, try to reconnect with her in a sensual way. Suggest taking a long, soapy shower together or trading full-body rubdowns in bed, and lavish her body with attention. Nothing softens a woman up or turns her on like a little pampering.

Want to mix it up more? Even if she's not into role-playing or video cameras, there are plenty of prudish props that can mimic kink. Grab a spatula and offer to treat her like an omelet. Use a spray bottle to spritz her down.

Countless household items have kinky potential. The trick is to plant the object within reach (or coax her into finding new uses for the kitchen, laundry room, toolshed ...) and make your decision to bring it into play appear totally spontaneous.

Man, I laughed at that, Candy Ass. Fuck me! Carnally Comatose! LOL!

An 18-year-old has secretly painted 60ft drawing a on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion near Inkpen in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he'll have to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling.
Posted by syl, around 25th March 2009:
 
It's a B3tan.
Posted by che, around 25th March 2009:
 
Interestngly the BBC item originaly said "60ft drawing" but has now been changed to "60-foot penis".
Posted by WarHead, around 26th March 2009:
 
Well, it can't be a drawing of a 60ft penis, we can be sure of that.
