lollipop disaster

comedy scene of the day:
in henley i saw a young lad accidently propel his lollypop out of its holder and in to his granny’s handbag ! It shattered in to pieces as it landed to add to the comedy factor.
granny and childs faces were priceless. didn’t get a photo. sorry

instant ironing in a can

New Product Concept: instant ironing in a can
what does it do ?
instant spray on ironing. simply point the can at a crinkled shirt. spray on the effected area and creases are removed.
how does it work ?
it dissolves small amounts of raised areas of the shirt and moves them to ‘trough’ areas thus redistributing the material in an even way
is it dangerous ?
only if you use it

deconstructionists party

the words party and partly are closely related. i’ve been to three parties in the last few days. all were successful as a ‘party’, but i wonder what would have made them in to a ‘partly’?
Possible a missing cake or the non-appearance of a key guest ? Possibly total lack of interest from the host.
why not throw your own ‘partly’ and see what (nearly) happens

noise of the day

whilst walking to work i was 10 metres away from a skip lorry dropping a massive skip on to the road from a height of about 1 metre. a fantastic noise was produced. fantastic yes. welcome no.
