  • British couple are oldest in the world to divorce - at...

    Rated Nov 08 1 review uk, bizarre dailymail.co.uk


    after 36 years of marriage, Bertie and Jessie Wood mutually decided to file for divorce.
    nothing unusual in that, you may think, especially when you consider the Woods live in the UK, where almost 50% of marriages end in divorce.
    but Berie and Jessie were both 97 years old at the time, making them the oldest couple in Britain to get a divorce.

    it's not known why the couple wanted to separate - you can only assume that it must have been quite drastic if they couldn't even stand to spend their last few years with each other. there is a happy ending though. although Mr. Woods died a few weeks before his 99th birthday, Mrs.W is still rocking out in her local care home

    68 year-old Cha Sa-soon has passed her driving test after forking out more than £2,600, spending 4 years attempting to pass and 949 failed written tests.

    all that's between Mrs. Cha and the open road now is the trivial matter of passing her practical. if you live anywhere near Seoul, you may want to avoid driving in the next few weeks
  • BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | China to auction Olympics condoms

    Rated Nov 08 1 review bizarre, asia bbc.co.uk


    when the Bejing Olympics ended, one oppurtunist collected 5,000 of the official Olympic game condoms that had been handed out to the athletes and has now put them up for auction, with a starting price of around 8p per jonny, for the 'Exceptional Auction of China Sport Collection'

    each wrapper bares the Olympic motto of 'faster, higher, stronger' and you'd have to be all of those things to work your way through the 5000 in the lot

    the auction is on the 29th of November, if that kind of thing interests you. and if that kind of thing does interest you, take this word of advice - beware of any ads in your local paper offering to sell you condoms en masse...especially if the ad says 'slightly used. one previous owner' ;)

  • garyganu: Blacks Are the Most Dangerous Cultural Group in...

    Rated Nov 01 3 reviews blog, racism, america blogspot.com


    an 'insight' on why blacks* are "the most dangerous cultural group in America".
    i'm confused as to why there's a comment on the su page can say 'how true, i never thought of it that way' - for two reasons. firstly, the dude who wrote the comment wrote the article (must have some kind of schizoid related issues, to write something and then realise he agrees with himself?) and secondly, probably most importantly, how can some-one be so openly racist?
    i know there are some huge differences between the folks US of A and us over here in little old Blighty, but one thing i like about being British is that racism is frowned on by the masses, not celebrated. most decent Americans would probably be horrified to be pigeon-holed as racists, hell, most decent people from anywhere would, but i don't think the author of this article will mind too much as gross generalisations and sweeping statements seem to be his thing

    Anyway, back to the article. we're told how *fact* black people commit more crime than 'whites' (does that mean white Europeans, white Americans, white...??) and given some other pretty lame examples of why the black man is Bad (hell, even prostitutes, those morally upstanding folks, wouldn't date a black guy...though how the author knows this, i'm not quite sure!)
    One point made does need to be answered though: "Why are these truths being suppressed? Why are they not taught in our schools as part of African American studies? Why is the danger of the American Black man rarely a topic of news and commentary in the media?"
    i'll tell you why - cos if schools taught that kind of negativity, we'd all be brainwashed from birth and the great White Man would still think he was superior to others, just cos of the colour of his skin. now, that'd be backwards, wouldn't it!? i imagine that kind of thing would result in some white Americans thinking they were better than their black, brown, pink or purple piers and maybe even in one of them growing up to write an article based on their own opinion and hatred, rather than fact or fairness. hell, that would be not be right.

    i could've written something much more flowery, with far more vitoral, but, tbh, i cba cos you're never going to get through to people with closed minds anyway, so i just thought i'd write this saying 'dude, you're NOT ON!'

    cheers n b'bye
  • Christopher Walken recites the lyrics from Lady Gagas...

    not
    a fan of the 'Lady' with a man bulge that they call 'Gaga', am a fan of the man they call Christopher 'grammar rebel' Walken.
    after watching CW recite 'Poker Face' on Jonathan Ross's Friday night show last night, i knew that it'd only be a matter of seconds before some-one put it on youtube and then literally a matter of a few more seconds before somebody stumbled it.
    i praise that inciteful soul, but must say, with certainty, that i had the thought first, just i'm far too lazy. especially on a Friday night. honest

  • BBC NEWS | UK | England | Suffolk | Concern over moving...

    Rated Oct 19 2 reviews health, uk bbc.co.uk


    when i was at primary school, many moons ago, i remember an ambulance arriving at one of the cottages opposite the playground. we all watched to see what the commotion was about and were a bit confused as to why the firebrigade also turned up, but there were no signs of a fire. later, we found out that the guy inside the house had suffered a heart attack, but was too large for the ambulance crew to carry down the stairs, so they had to get him out via an upstairs window.
    for obvious reasons, this story, of a 70stone dude, reminded me of that. it also made me wonder how, illness aside, somebody could allow themself to get that huge in the first place. and i don't buy that 'i'm big boned' sh!t either, before you start :)

    ooh - i've just signed in on somebody else's comp and realised my page looks insanely uncentered. not in a spiritually uncentred way, just in a skew-wif way.
    this lack of stumbling is causing damage to my brain - i've actually forgotton how to spell centre/center. i think i've got that disease where one thinks in French and adopts a crazy accent, you know, thingy disease (told you my mind'd been damaged)


    anyway, here's a very thirsty kitten.
