Wonderful. I am now dealing with an article in a major paper about...
...sheep bums.
Ovine derrieres. The bits they can't wipe. The asses of the wooly creatures.
This is a serious article, folks. Apparently the bo hipi breed will avoid any animal rights complaints about "mulesing", or snipping skin around sheep posteriors. Heavy stuff. Worth doing a two-third page article on.
Who am I kidding? The only person more pathetic than me for wasting my time on this is Dr David Scobie, who describes himself as a "sheep bum scientist". What sort of a sick pervert goes into science so he can focus his efforts on appreciating the beauty of sheep anuses?
Oh, BTW - he's Australian...

That's it, the world has officially ended
Noted in the paper - John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, now wears bifocals. And why not - he's 52.
The scary thing about writing this is that some who might read it will say "Johnny Who?".

Women, spiteful and vengeful
The good news is that I got accepted for sponsorship to a library seminar.
That bad news is that it's the Annoying PA who gets to handle my travel and accommodation.
To quote:
APA: Hmm .. this is my time for revenge I guess
APA: let see, where I am going to place you
APA: 8-)
So some time this month, I expect to be travelling via dogsled and staying in the same room as the huskies.
I think it was the *not* looking while she was walking around wearing a towel which annoyed her...
