8 September 2009: Links



Changed the order of links on the right hand side of the blogger page today (that's about as much design work as you'll ever get out of me).

In particular, note the sudden rise to attention of Ali's blog as she has brought it back to life in preparation for the release of her first novel next month. Available from all good bookstores that support romantic comedy, and probably a few that don't. Read more about it all here.

In addition, following a number of somewhat bizarre phone conversations over recent months concerning the worldwide travellings of our westcountry foodstuff known as the Cornish Pasty, it has been decided by myself and Ali to begin a semi-regular blog named 'Pasty Watch' where we will attempt, among other things, to locate the world's most far-flung pasty, determine the correct recipe and settle the Ivor Dewdney debate once and for all ("are they any good or is it just a nostalgia thing?").

And in true Daily Mail form, I need to add a health scare: according to this link and some not-yet-very-substantiated research, it seems that homogenized milk is particularly less healthy than non-homogenized milk, especially from a cholesterol viewpoint, due to smaller fatty lumps being more easily absorbed into the body (uh-oh).

Better get back to Traderspoint.

I like your link-sorting. Can't wait to get your sis's book. And I am always on the lookout for a tasty pasty.

Hey Jeff, now the College Football season is underway, it's time to start raising your link up the list too...

Any pasties in South Carolina?

damn, relegated - but I'll live...

A lifelong saints fan dies in his sleep and meets St Peter at the pearly gates.

St Peter greets him and says "you got here just in time, we're having a kick around"

so the saints fan looks over to where some players are warming up he immediately recognises Bobby Moore, Alan Ball, Alfredo di Stéfano and Stanley Matthews standing by the touchline, then he notices something odd; he turns to St Peter

"there's a guy who looks like Matt Le Tissier? he's not dead is he???"

St Peter replies "oh, no - that's just God, he likes to pretend he's Le Tissier"

And did he attempt to get the ball out for a throw-in as soon as the match started for spread-betting purposes??
