My old man just started a blog today, his 1st post is a detailed account of his visit to the new Banksy exhibition in Bristol with lots of photos to boot.
“I hope this collection goes on tour and eventually finds a permanent home. I have not seen a better visual commentary on our times.”

Sporting goods firm Nike and computer company Apple, two of the world’s best-known brands, have decided to join forces and make equipment for runners.
The firms will release a system that links Nike running shoes to Apple’s iPod nano digital music players.
As well as listening to music, users would be able to see how far and how fast they have run, and the amount of calories they have burnt.
Nike also launched a range of clothing designed specifically for iPods.

mrs mule pointed me at an intersting article, apparently (and with cool photo evidence) why you shouldn’t microwave water.
Below is a science fair project that my granddaughter did for 2006. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.
Interesting no…? So has anyone else done this?… this forum post with the same experiment (the post after this one is most amusing and I won’t repeat it here!)
and then some clever bod notices the photoshop job in the original microwave water experiment

After digging through our old collection of vinyl, I happened upon this tremendously cheesey song, “Thumbs up, book early” performed by Franki Woods (well my copy says Franki Woods, but apparently his name is Frankie Woods) who was children’s entertainer at Prestatyn for 30 years. He wrote many works in that happy chappy George Formby style.
