That little bird gets into the most bizarre situations
I was getting my new tattoo this afternoon, when Bobble flew out of my bag and demanded one of his own. Normand was kind enough to accommodate his request. He had a tree done, in memory of his friend.
Oh, proper chocolate milk, how I have missed you
Pretty accurate
But only for certain topics.
S’good to be the King

Pre-birthday party
Ben has been missing me and wanted to throw me a birthday party as soon as I was in Leicester, which wasn’t a bad idea seeing that the oldies wouldn’t be in Canada with us for my actual birthday.
Katy went all out on the cake, and the spread rivalled boxing day. I’m stuffed!
Eeeelehvun
Yesterday was Olivier’s past day at the office. After a few gag gifts (cuvée pimp katzpiss wine and the eeelehvun t-shirt) we went to lunch in St-Sulpice – with matching outfits.

How to make a soundbite that is completely meaningless
Prime Minister David Cameron says that if online pornographers don’t voluntarily install effective age-restricted controls on their websites he’ll introduce legislation that will close them down altogether. A recent Childline poll found nearly 10% of 12-13-year-olds were worried they were addicted to pornography and 18% had seen shocking or upsetting images. The minister for internet safety and security, Joanna Shields, said: “As a result of our work with industry, more than 90% of UK consumers are offered the choice to easily configure their internet service through family-friendly filters – something we take great pride in having achieved. It’s a gold standard that surpasses those of other countries. Whilst great progress has been made, we remain acutely aware of the risks and dangers that young people face online. This is why we are committed to taking action to protect children from harmful content. Companies delivering adult content in the UK must take steps to make sure these sites are behind age verification controls.”
So basically, if you run a porn site in the UK, move it. Oh, and those family-friendly filters? Think again.
Start me up!
I tell ya, I don’t get no respect at work…
Did some say science?
