Flatulence on the Tube

post from Going Underground's Blog on 10 August 2008 08:05:00 PM. © Going Underground's Blog

I'm sorry, I know it's childish, (I've had one of those weekends where I've been reminded of my youth) but I wanted to kick off the week with this "ad" I saw on the London Underground late last week,

How can anyone sit under a graffiti'ed advertising panel that says "I have a Flatulence problem. Please do not be offended by my odour"?

It really reminded me of the old online poker ones which said "genius" and "greedy" with a big arrow pointing down to the unfortunate passenger below:

Other things that took me back in time at the weekend were getting excited by seeing a rainbow on the way back from a BBQ on Sunday:

Going to an '80s Day at Ascot & seeing Bananarama, Belinda Carlisle, ABC, Paul Young & Kid Creole and the Coconuts (full set of '80s Day at Ascot photos here)

And coming home at 6am after a night of clubbing on Friday night after the MOO Tech Terrace do.

Haven't got a taxi home with the sun rising for quite some time! Thanks to Whatleydude, Alfie & Tarek for persuading me to go & making it such fun that I stayed. Plus nice bumping into Lorrie there who recognised me from Ladyfest!

Free events - Malmö City Festival

post from Europe a la Carte Blog on 10 August 2008 07:23:23 PM. © Europe a la Carte Blog

Malmö used to get a bad rap. Back in the olden days it was a grimy, industrial city filled with the sort of grimy, industrial stuff you?d normally find in such places. Fortunately, those days are long gone, and now clean and sparkling Malmö is giving Stockholm a run for its money. Some pundits disregard [...]

English teacher makes Japanese kids pose for
shocker photo

post from Japan Probe on 10 August 2008 06:37:34 PM. © Japan Probe

It’s stupid and immature for a teacher to trick a group of Japanese students into making sexual hand gestures for a photograph, and even worse for that person to then send it to their friends for laughs. The photo has since been uploaded to to Flickr and then proudly submitted it to Digg.com, making [...]
