Not available in the shops...

That's right folks, new Chemistry Andy now comes complete with glasses for that slightly more academic look. Still at the great price of just £999,999,999,999.99 payable in monthly installments for the rest of your life.

Please note: Contains moving parts. Unsuitable for Children and Adults of a nervous disposition. Batteries sold seperately.

Unavailable in Siberia.....Unavailable Anywhere.

PS Things currently annoying me include these car insurance adverts that promise a "No-Claims discount for life even if you make a claim" and the Frosties advert. Thankfully someone else was annoyed with the Frosties advert too and made
this.
They talk about Frosties being on a plate just because it rhymes with great. I don't know anyone who eats Frosties from a plate, the milk would go everywhere surely. Posted by Picasa

Tea set

Behold, shown below is the new tea set that I got on the way back from my holiday. I think it's great. Notice how the tea pot fits on top of the cup, pure tea-making genius really. Anyone who knows me will know how excited I am about the ability to make more tea. A teapot, cup, sugar basin, milk jug and thing to put your tea bags on (complete with spots!) all for the reasonable price of £6.48 brand new. Needless to say, I was very impressed :-)

Ok, this one wasn't taken on holiday. This was taken today out of the window in my house. You can't beat the sun shining through the clouds like that.

Funny how these clouds seem to have sunk to the bottom of the sky. I like that blue/grey colour in them though.

I like that odd shade of orange in this one that just seems to be in one line of the clouds.

Holiday Clouds

I thought I'd blog some of the cloud pictures I took on holiday. I took this one on the first day, I liked the black on white cloud effect.

On Ilkley Moor Baht'at

I've just come back from a week's holiday in a nice cottage near Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire. The cottage looked like this...

I spent a lot of my week relaxing in the hot tub and that looked like this...
We did do some other stuff besides that. I did take some cloud pictures that I'll stick up at some point. I do like Yorkshire, I don't really know why, just makes me feel good when I'm there. It's certainly got some great views...
I had a really great time and forgot about everything for a week. I think everyone needs that once in a while. I did spot one funny story in the news while I was away; well I thought it was funny. It was about the guard dog that destroyed Elvis's teddy bear. You can go and read the full story here. Basically, a guard dog at Wookey Hole Caves in Somerset went on a teddy-destroying rampage. The quote from the General Manager there was priceless "About 100 bears were caught up in this frenzied attack, some were merely little chews, whereas some of them had some quite devastating injuries." I wonder if that guy has ever considered a career in war reporting, I reckon he'd be rather good. I couldn't help but laugh.

PS
"On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at" is a Yorkshire song meaning "On Ilkley Moor without a hat", you can go and find out all about it here. :-)
