Cheeky news sites

Call me childish here, but this made me laugh This BBC News story covers the striken MV Explorer, which is currently sinking in the Antarctic Ocean.

The video is cringe-worthy to the extreme, with each girl trying to out-sex each other and Posh looking like a constipated skeleton.

Some classic YouTube moments!

Here’s a couple of vids I just had to show you. I don’t know quite why I like them so much, they just made me laugh out loud. They’re both from the Lord Mayors Parade in London this last weekend. It’s basically a bit of pomp and ceremony to welcome the Lord Mayor. Anyhoo, the [...]

Christmas lights in Cannock

In Cannock the big Christmas light switch-on has taken place, but it’s not in the town, oh no. Locals may be aware of a certain lady who’s a massive Elvis fan. She lives on the road going from Stafford to Cannock and many will know about her Elvis Presley gates and cars on her drive. [...]
