My car threw something up into the litter tray that looked more like Michael MacIntyre.

Comments abound online likening little Kim to Eric Cartman. A much more accurate likeness in many ways, but amazingly one that the mail has failed to notice...what with it not having anything to do with their favourite bland comic so they wouldn't have an ecxuse to print a photo of him.

I hope MacIntyre's happy interview-based relationship with this rag comes back to haunt him one day - him and Bill Bailey.

I'm not sure whether to suggest a vet, a mechanic or an optician...

"preparing her nest", and just the term "nesting" in general - like the woman has turned into a fussing prissy mother hen of a creature and is the only one about to become a parent (the dad doesn't matter), always sounded so twee and sickly to me.

Anyho, not hugely relevant I guess - moving on.

I think the terms/metaphors of 'nesting' and 'nesting instinct' for expectant mothers is pretty widespread and pretty well-used.

What the fuck, did anyone even read this before pressing go?

Quote:
However, Holly, who was also being aided by co-presenter Phillip Schofield, 49, was entirely unaware that in Italian, pecorina actually means a certain kind of sexual position.

Shocked D'Acampo hastily corrected her pronunciation but managed to gloss over the faux pas by telling her pecorina meant something different in Italian.

Gino, who was also being aided by co-presenter Phillip Schofield, 49, managed to gloss over the faux pas.


It makes me feel like I'm in the early stages of alzheimers reading this drivel.

Shop sells goods for a profit

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ng-on.html
Quote:
High Street pawn show Cash Converters is buying goods from hard-up sellers for as little as a quarter of their value and selling them on with huge mark-ups.

In some instances the company sells products on for more than double the cost it paid to sellers who are seeking help after Christmas as the country threatens to fall back into recession.

At a branch in Camden, North London, the MailOnline was offered £80 for a Sony PlayStation 3 games console (160GB memory).

Cash Converters, which buys around 10,000 items a day, are selling the same model online, for £139.99.
