Forgotten Update

Well, I'd like to say that I have been on holiday soaking up the sun on a lovely sunny beach somewhere exotic. But the truth of the matter is, that I did no such thing. I have in fact stayed here in Mainz and worked.

But at least I can use a recent news article to back up my reason for forgetting to write. A recent study has shown, that drinking coffee makes you forgetful. At least, it does if you change your train of thought (so doesn't work for most men then).

Now anybody ever wanted that original touch to showing someone when you're annoyed with them? Well, a florida guy did, and so slapped his wife with an alligator.

Fed up with rowdy drinkers, pub landlords normall choose to bar (prohibit) said people from entering their pub. However, this time it's been done to a bird...

Some people just want to make us laugh. A DVD pirate went into a local business and offered copied DVDs. However, the building was that of the trading standards office, so the police were quite happy to talk to him longer.

Now for those of us slow eaters. A Japanese man has broken the speed-eating record by gobbling 52 and a half hot dogs with rolls in 12 minutes. Yes, that was 12 minutes. I think I've got a long way to go...

Nigerians are a superstitious lot. First of all they had the rumour that if a particular person looked at you, your sexual organs would fall off. Now if somebody calls you from a special phone number, it will cause them to die. And I thought I was gullible !

And how could a single post go by without mentioning Bush. A group of scientists are demonstrating against their president, for the bad name he give to them when he asks advice and then selects the information he wants to use, not giving the true picture as it was intended.

Well, apart from those news stories, it looks like hurricanes have arrived in Mainz, with the weather turning very bad indeed, rain, thunder, lightning, wind. What more can you want for a lovely summer day. Oh yeah, the 28 degrees temperature at night.

Well, whilst others go off to Malaga, some to Sardinia, I will be going off to my homeland (England, in case any of you forgot) for a short week.

Well, take care, and drink a beer for me.
