Collection day?

Oh my. From Blognor Regis:

Chichester City wheelie bins discovered in Poland!

Maybe it was dropped by a migrating goose?

How Stuff Works provides the lowdown on Zombies!! (although given the ad clutter on that page, the news that FireFox also blocked a pop up is alittle excessive don’t you think?). The Bird Flu panic is pissing me off, 60 people dead in the whole of SE asia, compared to 12,000 killed by normal flu in the UK alone last year? It’s not a problem, worry about the real issues. In the meantime, dyslexia may be genetic, which may mean it can be diagnosed earlier. I’ll not get into my usual rant about undiagnosed learning difficulties and ignorant teachers again.

Oh, it’s the start of winter, meaning that the clocks change tonight for UK people. Which means I have to be up even earlier than normal to get to the Vs thing has organised at Steve’s. I may need a phone call at 10ish.

What if everyone out there added Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta, NJ to their LiveJournal schools list?

I can’t wait to see if I get an email ordering me to take my LJ down. EXPEL ME IF YOU CAN, MISTER STUPIDHEAD!

Also, I suspect a few of my female Friends (naming no one specific) may be interested in this nifty little gadget. Oh those last links are a bit ‘icky’ (for those that don’t like sex related links).
