...And Relax

After a pretty hectic week at work (I have been in Crawley for 3 days this week), its nice to relax at the weekend.

So, how have I been relaxing? Well, nothing really very special...last night watched mythbusters with a couple of glasses of wine (white, cos I like to think summer is on the way)

This morning, I did my VAT tax return online, so Alistar Darling will have a few more quid to prop up the global economy. The 'credit crunch' situation does make me laugh a little. This has been on the horizon for years, so why should it be such a shock now? I, for one, has been predicting it for about 5 years (I knew I would have to be right some day!)

I watched 'Hancock and Joan' too. This was the second part of the 'Curse of Comedy' season, that explores the lives of some of the greatest British comedy talents. The first one was Steptoe and Son. Tony Hancock is one of my all time favorite comedians ( I was the youngest member of the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society when I was 11!), and I knew quite a bit about the story before I watched it. Never the less, it was really well portrayed by Ken Stott.

This afternoon I went to the gym and did 50 mins of cardio, then 10 minutes of weights (biceps, triceps and abs) then I swam 10 lengths of the pool

Relaxing is great :-)

The Face

Eager to cash in on all these fake 'Is this the face of Jesus on my piece of toast' stories, I would like to ask, "Is this the face of Jesus in my Yorkshire Pudding?"

This is exactly as it came out of the oven, and I think Jesus is trying to appear to the world on this cold Easter weekend.

Anyone wishing to buy this miracle of flour egg and milk, will be out of luck. However, it did taste delicious :-)

Happy Easter!

Weather Stuff

Check out the link on the Carol Kirkwood post - looks like a really well written blog

Anyway, heard a nice snippet on Radio 4 tonight (on the 5 hour drive home) about the weather. Apparently, if we have a nice/dry April, statistically we are more likely to have a shit summer (remember last years hot April?? Temps in the high 20's I remember)

So I am praying for a shit April this year!

The Duchess and the Fat Folk

So, the Duchess of York will be 'slumming' it in Hull, teaching the great unwashed of Preston Road Estate, how to eat properly, and how to get off benefits.

Thats not patronising at all is it? :-)

Lets face it, she was 10 million sheets in the red, so she wrote a book or two, went on Oprah, and appeared in a Sitcom, and generally traded on her Royal connections. A year later - boom! - shes sat on a fortune. Thats not really an option available to these members of the public, is it?

I imagine the folk of Bransholme will be moaning about how the Duchess is living the high life on Preston Road

What can we expect next....? Well I imagine we can expect Angelina Jolie and Madona jockying at Paragon station to be the first to adopt a Hull person! Or perhaps Paris Hilton carrying a Hull person in her shoulder bag

Good grief...

A Profound Question

Im 38 this year, and as a member of the Taylor family, Im doing rather well at keeping my hair. I don't claim to have a full head of hair - far from it. Its starting to go, and at the right angle I could be mistaken for a monk.

So this is my profound question.

Why is it that if you find one hair on your chest/back/shoulder/arm, and you cut that hair, within one month, it will be back with about 10,000 of its buddies. And before you know it, you resemble a werewolf?

However, the hair on your head doesnt follow this simple rule?? Why, God Why? Give a balding guy a break :-)

Dear Carol Kirkwood

This is an open post to weather girl Carol Kirkwood :-)

"Dear Ms Kirkwood

So far this year we have had to suffer gales, frost, floods and even an earth quake. So this summer would it be too much to ask for us to be able to 'suffer' a prolonged heatwave? Perhaps beginning in early June and not relenting until mid October?

It would be great wouldn't it?

"Oh no, 35 degrees again today - what shall we do? POOL PARTY!!!"

So please Ms Kirkwood, lets have some heat this year"
