ooh, good luck to the new parents!

The best April's Fool posting I've come across far - this from a blogger who's usually very serious about her paleo recipes:

*insert a 'this' into previous posting*

Wonderfully yukky!

*scratches through "Well" and in fancy script "Awesome"*

Did you see the April Fools joke on Google Maps for Android?

No, I didn't! Was it good?

They had Pokemon hidden all over the world. It seems they even usually had a connection to the place.

There's even an announcement video:

*lies back in the Lazy Bastard with a cold compress on her forehead, determined to outlast the fever*

I now have a neice named Scarlet

<BB<

My sister-in-law's just gone into labour last night too

Does the fact I've not been able to get the Captain Scarlet theme tune out of my head since I learned her name make me a bad person?

Captain Scarlet, He's the one who knows the Mysteron Game, And things they plan.
Captain Scarlet, To his Martian foes a dangerous name, A Superman.
They crash him, and his body may burn.
They smash him, but they know he'll return,
To live again.

Congratulations to everyone!

My alarm is approxamitley 2ft tall with curly blonde hair and a knack for being cute. There is no snooze button.

Sorry for my absence my 'smart' phone had to go in or repairs. All better now though.

I've got a snooze button or two like that – and no matter what you try, you can't put them forward or back an hour when the clocks change...

Gratz!

Ouch, been playing too much MMORPG lately - congratulations!

Just watched an episode of 'Jamie's Food Escapes' where he 'discovers' Sweden (it's not as if he was all new to it) and it made me

Especially the part when he takes part in a typical Swedish crayfish party and gets quite sozzled - although I'm a bit disappointed he didn't join the Swedes in the 'hot sauna ice cold lake' experience.

Although I do admire him for embracing the fermented herring thing...
