weekend gloating blog

It may not mean much to you, but then this isn't your blog. Hahaha.
Oh sorry, don't go. Didn't mean to offend you. Friends?
Anyway, (if you're still reading) I am at last appearing at amazon.com as a bona fide author. So it must be true.
Not amazon.co.uk, or any of their other sites, you understand. Just the granddaddy of the .com booksellers, not his offspring. Early days though, early days.
What am I going on about, is one possible response. Well, friend, my latest book (together with Lady Charlotte Guest and Sir James Knowles by the by) 'Legends of King Arthur Through the Ages' is available to buy at that very outslot.
If you drift my get.
Lovely cover too.

Paul McKenna's TV show is, of course, a bonfire of delights. I can't help wondering if he could 'help' ex-hero and football legend George Best though, whose life seems to get grimmer with every passing tabloid.
Now that would be one interesting TV show...

King Edward

Ah, the wonders of the potato. You can boil it, bake it, chip it, fry it, mash it; and yet it is not seen anywhere in the UK government's 5-a-day campaingn.
Is it not a vegetable? Does it not bleed if it is pricketht? (Eh?)
How unlike the US's own 5-9 a day (yes, they always go one better in the Land of the Free) campaign, where the potato takes its rightful place amongst the white fruit and veg in the 'colors of health'.
According to the UK website potatoes (as well as yams and cassava) are not included since they are 'starchy foods'. No yams either? Oh come on guys.

very sleeeeepy...

I've always wondered what it would be like to be hypnotized. I guess it depends on who floats the sheets. Still feeling a little woozy though.
Ah, but what a voice that man has.

ever been googled?

The words 'lovely' 'Ann' and 'Robinson' are not used frequently in the same sentance on the internet, it seems.
Searnching google for "lovely Ann Robinson", my entry of last week on this very timeslot is first on the results list 'of about 12' adds google, perhaps rather too helpfully.
Searching for "lovely Kylie Minogue" on the other hand produces a veritable 'about 230' exact matches.
"lovely Colin Jones" unfortunately gives the almost unbelievable (and undeniably unjust) 'Did not match any documents'.
Oh my fragile ego.

You are feeling sleepy...

I was not completely surprised to see Paul McKenna restoring the sight of a blind man on TV this week.
There was a wonderful moment though where the man (blind for a number of years) sees his wife for the first time. 'She hasn't been going to the gym has she?' or something similar were his words.
Age indeed does not come alone.
