I like simple humour

Who says jokes have to be long and complicated to be really funny?*

Genius.

* Nobody, actually. Not that I’m aware of, anyway. In fact, it seems, judging by the response of the people I have showed this to, I’m an idiot. Ho-hum.

Why being a grammar Nazi is a good thing

I frequently annoy the shit out of people for correcting their use of their English language. Spelling, grammar, your vs you’re etc. etc. ad infinitum. Heck, I even set up a website for it!

Most people ignore me when I do it, which is fine. But I present for you now “Exhibit A, Reasons for proper proofreading and good use of English language”:

family planning advice

Brilliant.

Noel Gallagher gets some

I’ve actually got a modicum of respect for Noel Gallagher - he’s not a completely talentless bastard. Unlike his brother, Liam, that is, who is, by far and a way, up there amongst all time biggest wasters in the world (amongst the likes of Pete Docherty and Amy Winehouse). So, certainly, this chap my have improved his aim by decking Liam off the stage, but nevertheless, I feel Noel has done enough in his life to deserve it. Quality.

(it gets good around 1:50)

What I find particularly amusing is Liam doing his “big hard bastard” act giving it all the “YEH mate, I’m gonna twat you yeah eh?” business after the sizeable security staff have actually grabbed the guy and there’s little danger to Liam himself. If he was truly hard, he would have nutted him off the stage. Or hit him with a guitar, Keith Richards style:

No five minute break for these guys. That’s right, guy invades stage, Keith smacks him, everyone carries on. Oasis have got a lot to learn.

The Legend of Vino DiGiovanni

Challenge: find something cooler than this

If you can find something more awesome than this (and I’m not talking about some sort of two girls one cup thing), then kindly let me know.

Mr Bean to take charge of Bank of England

I have juvenile sense of humour, it’s true, but this story on the BBC tickled me:

The surprise announcement is expected to be made officially on Thursday. The Bank’s chief economist Charles Bean is expected to be named a deputy governor.

Mr Bean will take charge of the Bank’s monetary policy side, replacing the other deputy governor, Rachel Lomax.

I wonder if the author of this story purposely left the reference to Mr Bean in, to give people like me a bit of a chuckle.
