Having checked out Spotify almost immediately after it was pointed out here, I can vouch for it being very good- as long as you can put up with a 10-second ad every 4 or 5 songs. Also, it’s not an exhaustive database, but it should have everything bar your most obscure guilty pleasures.
Thanks Kirsty!

Great variety of stories from all over the world.

The youtube clip I give a link to below, whilst discussing something that has been in the public domain now for a few years is, nevertheless, worth watching. Especially if you or someone you love is fat and incapable of losing that excess weight in spite of trying numerous diets. If you’re unaware of the topic discussed in this lecture then I might just be doing you a great favour for which you’ll be forever in my debt. Just consider it a new year gift from me
It’s about 90 minutes long, but the first 30 mins will be sufficient to get the gist of the talk. The last 30 mins as well is also worth watching, (the middle section is mainly scientific talk) .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
Even if you’re not overweight, it’s worth watching as it gives an insight into how the commercial aims of big business and governments don’t necessarily correspond with what’s best for the people.
Happy New YearAn interesting lecture replete with good science, which makes a refreshing change from the bad science that’s a hallmark of both the food-and-drink mega-businesses and the quack-fad-diet peddlers. The lecturer was a tad too over-confident and smugly sure of himself but was nevertheless pretty compelling
‘You are what you eat’ may be a worn cliche but is still a truism. Surely no one should be surprised that a diet largely composed of ‘fast’ processed, adulterated food and drink is bad for your health, both physical and mental, if consumed regularly over the longer term
This wasn’t mentioned in the lecture but think it’s worth pointing out that it seems to be the received wisdom that fast/junk/processed/convenience food is cheap: it’s not, fresh fruit and vegetables, particularly in-season are cheap (comparitively) but do of course take a few minutes to prepare. And if you do crave processed animal protein then choose tinned oily fish and tuna; which are not only cheaper pro-rata than ‘tesco value beefbugers’ but a whole lot tastier and actually good for you
Mine’s a malty mild or hoppy bitter; yours is a sugary coke or processed juice
Smug or what
This prank with the dog amused me:
That tickled me to death too, Matron. I wonder if screaming a reflex response by women; instinctive?
Wonder if these will flush Gamble out of hiding
How about this one then? I defy anyone to not laugh at the cat video. And the way it ends could not be better.
The other ones are still photos – but also hilarious, though you might have seen them.
