Amazing, the first time for a month that I haven't used a Whitlams lyric for my subject line. I think 'Dawn' is one of the most gorgeous names ever invented, and I fully intend to name my kids that. All of them. Even the boys. All I've got to do now is find someone daft enough to want to have my kids in the first place.

From Elena:

a woman has been caught in Greenwich park while dropping there a Guinea pig, a hamster and a rabbit. If more people do that, this summer's picnics will be even more fun.

They eat guinea pigs in South America. Apparently they're an ancient Incan delicacy. And they taste a bit like rabbit, but without as much meat on them. The only problem is, when you order one from a restaurant, it appears on your plate whole, with the head staring at you, still with its eyes and teeth and fur in place, just so you can't forget what you're eating. So if someone brings a pot of boiling water to the next picnic, we can go hunting around Greenwich for them. I'm sure they would go well with cheese. We could even go on a haggis hunt while we're at it.

From Ken:

I went to Nottinghams' RAWK club, rock city (aka the more precise "cock shitty") the other night where they played the delights of Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit, but I actually very much enjoyed playing tremendous air-guitar and head-banging whilst hileriously changing the lyrics of a Limp Bizkit classing "Rollin'" to "Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'Bowlin'...."

And the sad truth is, however good a city Nottingham may be in other ways, it lacks any decent indie club. Which means we're reduced to going to 70s music nights instead. No night out in Nottingham is complete without dancing to YMCA at least once.

From Blake:

some people have foot fetishes, i have a glasses fetish, for reasons i cannot decipher.

Personally, I have a 'naked woman' fetish. Does that make me strange? Someone else said that we shouldn't drink Ribena because it's made by a company who have taken over another company who twenty years ago used to test cosmetics on animals. Which is kind of like saying we should boycott all English products because in the last century English people used to organise slavery. Or that we should hate all Americans because in the past their army used to invade countries and kill innocent civilians to protect their own interests. (What was that? They still do? Panama, Somalia and Iraq you say? And 90% of the world really does detest Americans? Oh well, that's pissed on my bonfire then...)
