no great suprise
the new razorlight album is one of the biggest pieces of cack i've listened to. fact. but lets be honest and admit that it's not really a suprise, after all the single which preceded the album, was also a great piece of cack. 'kirby's house' the one track that had been previously released, has actually been made worse so it can fit in with the theme of album, cack, cack, and more cack.

its true...
i've been denying this for about a year, my mum probably being the person which most goes on about it, but the amount of evidence is piling up, and i have to accept that its true. not seen one in person yet, but i would surely soil my wetsuit if i saw one of these in the water...
basking shark - falmouth bay
basking shark - falmouth bay
The basking shark - cetorhinus maximus - is the second largest fish in the world after the whale shark.
• They can reach up to 36ft and weigh up to seven tons. They are the largest wild animal to regularly visit Britain.
• Despite their bulk they can leap clear of the water.
• They get their name because they bask on the surface.
• They filter the equivalent of an Olympic swimming pool every hour to take in enough plankton.
• They are a protected species in Britain, but are killed in large numbers elsewhere for their liver oil, meat and cartilage.
• In Asia they are used to make shark-fin soup. A single large fin can be worth £5,000.
• They swim, at no more than 3mph, by moving their entire bodies from side to side, not just their tails like other sharks

expansion
I wonder whether if Apple's domination of the electronics market should continue to expand to such an extent that they may be perhaps consider a dictatorship, which would undoubtedly be called iRule.
