Well, how about that.

Recently I said how a particularly bizarre Google search was finding my site. Well, thanks hugely to J, because he found me via an even weirder one. I don’t even want to know why he was searching for that. But it does go to show that Google isn’t the be all and end all.

But just to increase my chances of getting hit up for random searches, may I link you nicely to this awesome eBay auction, which, thanks to some stupid Americans, is totally humourous to us Brits. Thanks to the Big Gay One for letting me know.

What a week for English sport

First England beat Australia in the cricket, which albeit small, is a far cry from to what any English cricket fan has become accustomed in the last few months in one of the most miserable Ashes series’ I can remember. Then, England’s rugby team finally produced some rugby to demonstrate why they’re currently World Champions in the first match of the Six Nations in beating Wales 42-20. Perhaps most importantly was Jonny Wilkinson’s return after a unbelievable run of injuries, in scoring 27 points, almost playing the whole match, but in managing to not get (too seriously) injured.

Phew. When is the England footy team next in action?

I can’t work it out

Sometimes I post about how stupid people are, usually as a result of some idiot emailing me via my site. The trouble is, I’m now in a situation where I don’t know if people are emailing me dumb stuff because they want to get mentioned, or whether they’re actually just dumb. Take William Fitzner, for example:

Mr Thornton,
I am interested in applying for a position with your company in the Louisville area. I know the Thornton family is from the Georgetown and Lexington area and would be happy to meet with you there. My phone number is (***)***-****. Please contact me– I’m worth the time.

Apparently this dumbass is worth the time. Worth the time for what? Or shouldn’t I ask? Considering that he’s asking for a job, but he doesn’t say in what. He seems to think there’s only one Thornton family in the whole world. And finally, it’s not MR anymore…
