Just wondering about entry to the o2. When tickets first went on sale, you had to be over 16 to get into the standing area, under 16's have to have a seat and under 14's need an adult with them. I've just gone back to the website I got the tickets from and it's saying that 12-14's need to be accompanied by an adult. Does this mean that under 12's won't be let in? Because if that's the case, I'm going to have a very, very, VERY upset 10 year old on my hands.....

Just a random thing, really. On June 24th I was not a fan of Michael Jackson. I didn't like his music, wasn't overly keen on his odd lifestyle, had not time for him at all. On June 25th he died. Still didn't like the guy, still not a fan of his music.

Why are there so many people who at one time thought the same thing about MJ as me before he died suddenly having an epiphany, bulk buying his CD's and professing to have always liked 'Off The Wall'? I'm getting slagged off left right and centre for speaking ill of the dead, but I don't see why my opinion of him should change just because he's not with us anymore. I feel sorry for his family and his genuine fans, but I'm not going to suddenly decide that Thriller is worthy of going into my CD collection because the guy that wrote it shuffled off of his mortal coil.

Just needed to get that off of my chest....

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. 'But why,' they asked, as they moved off. 'Because,' he said, 'I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer.'

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.

This made him (Oh dear, this is so bad, it's good) .

Just wondering...

I read the story about Jordan having a miscarriage a month or so before she and Peter Andre split up. I'm not slamming that, it's a horrid thing for anyone to have to live with.

I just wanted to know, am I the only one that read this and thought 'publicity whore'? She just comes across as someone desperate to claw her way back into favour with the press and the public...

Just curious to see if anyone else is going to see CKY at The Electric Ballroom in Camden tonight? The reason I ask is that I appear to be the only person I know that has heard of them! As wonderful as they are, I don't fancy being the only one there!!!

Does anyone know of any places in London where kids can learn how to skateboard? My kids both want to learn, and I can seem to find anything on the old internet....

cheers peeps :o)

On the front page of Yahoo U.K and Ireland, in the news bit. There's a headline about Britney's breakdown. There's a link directly underneath that says 'buy hair clippers online' Made me laugh anyway!

For anyone that doesn't know. Teacakes are little biscuits with a blob of jam and a marshmallow on top, covered in chocolate. Snowballs are gooey marshmallow covered in chocolate and coconut. Which one do you prefer?

A few days ago I bought a bar of dark chocolate with Balsamic vinegar in it. It sounds disgusting, but it's actually really nice!

Can anyone think of any other combinations that shouldn't work, but do?

Following an interesting "chat" with my two kids last night. We can't decide what the best, quick home made snack food is. I say it's toast, the older one says popcorn, the younger says both (ever the diplomat!!)

So, which one is better? Toast or popcorn?

My nine year old son has asked me to buy him an electric guitar for christmas. The thing is that he is 100% new to playing (apart from an ill-fated session on a Nintendo Wii) so I need something that's not too complicated. The other thing is that what I know about muscial instruments could be written on the pointy end of a pin with room to spare. So any advice you could offer on amps, teaching DVD's, books, anything at all, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers peeps :o)

Just noticed a news story on the Yahoo main page. Apparently Nicole Thingywhatsit from the Pusycat Dolls is 30. Shocker!

What the hell is so newsworthy about that? Does it really matter how old she is? It's not going to make her 'band' sound any better is it....

Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.

Someone call the janitor - we're going to need a mop.

Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?

Hand me that...uh...that uh.....thingie.

Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?

Rats, there go the lights again...

Ya know, there's big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy's got two of 'em.

Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!

Could you stop that thing from beating? It's throwing my concentration off!

What's this doing here?

That's cool! now can you make his leg twitch?!

I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses.

Well, folks, this will be an experiment for all of us.

Sterile, shcmeril. The floor's clean, right?

Anyone see where I left that scalpel?

OK, now take a picture from this angle. This is truly a freak of nature.

Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donation card?

Don't worry. I think it is sharp enough.

She's gonna blow! Everyone take cover!!!

Rats! Page 47 of the manual is missing!

In the middle of a forest, there was a camper who was suddenly confronted by a huge, mean bear. In his fear, all he could do was run as fast as he could.

The camper ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very steep cliff. His hopes were dim.

Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather quickly, the camper got down on his knees, opened his arms, and exclaimed, "Dear God! Please give this bear some religion!"

The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet short of the hunter, the bear came to abrupt stop, and glanced around, somewhat confused.

Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky and said, "Thank you, God, for the food I'm about to receive...."

Just curious...

I watched American Beauty on BBC1 last night. Great film, but I have never been so depressed at the end of a movie! It put me on a real downer. Is it just a 'Me' thing, or did anyone else get that?

There was a Chinese (maybe Japanese?) movie on BBC4 a while ago. It was about a man who fell in love with a woman who was being abused by her husband. They run off together, but are caught and he is put in prison. While he's there he learns how to 'shadow' someone.

One of the main things in this movie is that he is very good at golf, and practises his shots with a golf ball attached to a piece of wire which he ties around a tree.

I know it all sounds nuts, but it was a really good film, but I'm damned if I can remember what it was called! Cheers peeps :o)

...some days you're the windscreen, some days you're the bug.

I'm definitely having a "bug" day :o(

If the tabloid press are to be believed (which they seldom are, but I'm not taking any chances here!) Peaches Geldof will soon be winging her way to American soil to live with her new "hubby". I can only apologize on behalf of my country.

First we lumber you with the Beckhams, and now this.

Are there any wastes of space you'd like to deport over here by way of revenge? God only knows that we deserve it!
