Eclecticism is the light and the way. Parsnips are fantastic. Celeriac is evil.

..because nothing says ‘I love you’, ‘I buy love’, ‘Now you can be online FOR ME ALL THE EVERY DAY’, ‘my heart, soul and brain have been eaten by consumerism’ and ‘If you ever ever leave me I will hunt you down whilst sniffing articles of your clothing and post CDs with me singing every breath you take (naked) on through your door’ like a wifi enabled (crap) laptop with optional webcam..

Bedfordshire county council plots demise of western europe

Posted on by tiff

  Yes. You heard it here first.  Bedfordshire county council’s landfill waste reduction scheme is secretly a cover for a dastardly plan to spread the Black Death and thereby wipe out one third of western europe.

Upgrading from 2.x to 2.6.1

I admit it, I am a bad person. I am a foolish person. I let my wordpress install lag behind on leekworld.

Scrub weird bits of glue and tape off stair backs. Try and remember the proper term for the back of a stair step. Sand melamine bits to get a key. Remove more staples, wondering how there could be more staples in the world than the amount originally removed…

Spotlight on Beijing 2008..

I’m signing every petition I can that calls on the Chinese government to respect human rights in Tibet and open dialogue with the Dalai Lama whilst they’re in the olympic spotlight.. After decades of repression, the Tibetans are sending out a global cry for change. Unrest is spreading across Tibet and neighbouring regions, and the Chinese regime is right now making a crucial choice between escalating repression or dialogue. President Hu Jintao needs to hear that “Made in China” exports and the upcoming Olympics in Beijing will have the support of the world’s people only if he chooses dialogue. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get his attention. Click below to sign the petition–in just…
