More dictionary words and weird news

After discovering that I was a "Giri" in Spain, I was soon to be informed that we also have a word for those tourists that come to the UK: "Grockles". I would therefore like to take this opportunity in welcoming all the grockles to my country and wishing them a pleasant stay :)

Talking about dictionaries, whilst surfing away (as you do) I came across this cultural dictionary, and for those of you yearning to learn proper english (of the london variety), there is a description and examples of Cockney Rhyming Slang (especially for you, Geir). Oh, and here's a more fuller list, although what slightly worries me is that it is based on a canadian site.

Now to the news bit. Spookily like a scene from George Orwell's "1984", the BBC (I know I keep mentioning them, but they are the ones that seem to have all the breaking news) reports that there is a planet-eating star out there, not too far away, and it's hungry for more. Start fulfilling those life-long ambitions now, you don't know whether you'll have time otherwise :)

Another new development. Fed up of email claiming to be sent, only to find out that it got lost on the way and there's nothing you can do about it? Well now there's a solution. P-mail. Yep, that's right, a new network protocol has been set up to allow pigeons to transfer packets of data (eg emails). The benefit of this, you may ask? Well, if your message doesn't arrive on time, you can actually 'shoot the messenger' instead of hitting the computer :) How thoughtful.

Well, enough talking, got to get on with...erm...restructuring my website :)
