Here’s one for you to think about over the weekend.
Why are so many furniture shops named with three letter acronyms? We’ve got DFS, CSL, SCS and I spotted a HFS on Talbot Road just now.

Under the guise of a “Reader Panel” that will supposedly influence the direction of the paper, the Gasjet have opened a new feature on their website: farming for personal details to send advertisements to. Even on the editor’s letter about this scheme, he manages to squeeze in an advert for a holiday firm.

So Peter Callow and Mayoress Barbara Hardy have broken ankles.
Please tell me they slipped on an ungritted pavement…

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in the media of late there has been an influx of advertisements coaxing people to mail off their gold jewellery for instant cash. You may have seen them, Cash 4 Gold, Gold 4 Cash, and so on. Even the mainstream jewellers are getting in on this; I heard on the radio yesterday an advertisement for H Samuels’ cash for gold scheme.

This is a video that has been knocking about for 3 or more years, but it’s one that has made me laugh – and sigh. There are as you can imagine plenty of spinoffs of this, I must have watched 50 or more different ones, but enough waffle, I give you the Kersal Massive.

Three come along at once! What am I on about? Buses? No! Garbage trucks! They say they can only pick up every fortnight, well it’s no wonder if a fleet of trucks is deployed to pick up a small area’s worth of bins. Check these pictures out.

This week we have heard that a baby was orphaned after its parents both died after they jumped into a river to try and rescue their dogs. A sad story, but I am surprised that we’ve not had the standard Government kneejerk – ban rivers. Or dogs.
On North West Tonight there was a story about a child that had hanged himself, and his father blamed “high energy drinks” such as Red Bull, calling for a ban on all energy drinks. Again a sad story. His father stated that the child was “bouncing off walls” and always hyper. I’m not really sure what hanging yourself has to do with high energy drinks though. He also declined to say who was buying the child these drinks and why he didn’t do anything to stop it.
Finally what’s the best way of gaining permanent residence in the UK if you’re a Gurkha? Die in Afghanistan. Sad but true.
