Be honest, there’s nobody else reading this but you: How shallow are you? Do you look at your face one hundred times a day and wince at the sight of a face which doesn’t cut it? Or maybe you’re obsessed with smiles? Does a fish-faced smile make you want to slap someone around and scream “Get a good face will you!!!”
Then Ratemyface.com is for you. It’s a web-site designed to specifically cater for the shallowest and most vain people
Some things in life will never be explained; no matter how far we travel along the path to technological progression, a number of things will remain unexplainable: sock logic is one of them–
Why do so many people have a problem with odd socks?
I realize that many people believe, fundamentally, that aesthetically speaking, any break-away from the norm might constitute a reason to worry about that person’s mental health, but really, should socks come under such scrutiny? For what
I love nothing more than a good discussion about whether or not a film should be remade or not; while an enormous part of me is screaming “Don’t do it! It was fine the first time around!” the other small bit—tiny, in some cases, especially small after being subjected to Nicholas Cage’s mess in The Wicker Man—wants to know what else could come of a character. One such character is the discussion of the following forum post.

I picked up ‘Crap at the environment’ by comedian Mark Watson—as featured on TV’s ‘Mock The Week’—with low expectations, anticipating the result to be a strong sense of guilt regarding my carbon-footprint, and an even bleaker opinion on Global Warming than the one I’d started with. What can I learn that I already didn’t when I watched Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth? I asked myself. What can I personally do to make the world a better place when everyone else is sooooo rubbish?
I, like many, was pleasantly surprised and learnt a great deal; while the result most certainly was a strong sense of guilt regarding my personal carbon emissions—as was quite rightly the main intention of the book—my outlook on Global warming was much improved.
Anyone who has seen Watson’s enlightening and often hilarious stand-up routines will appreciate the easy-going style of writing in this book, which finds a happy medium between being both educational—with enough facts and figures to satisfy anyone looking to lower their own emissions and increase their recycling know-how—and consistently entertaining. There are laughs on every page, as Watson passes judgment on everything from Government to health and composting and the minutiae in between.
Over the course of one huge learning curve of a year, Watson goes on a valiant mission to reduce his carbon-footprint in any way he knows how. Not content with the already mammoth job of cutting down his own emissions to the bare minimum—which involves taking enormous train journeys as opposed to the easy option of a simple flight—he sets a full-throttle initiative under-way, and before long has people following by the hundred strong.
The book is a winner and deserves its place in the beat-global-warming hall-of-fame. With his refreshingly honest take on his own failures, the book manages to be both believable and very often shocking, too.
Just before I go, I was talking to my brother who works in the business world and he reckons that there is massive return in buying stocks for boiler juice. He is one of those individuals who is of the stance that America is trying to take over the world by taking over the Middle East. I must say I am getting pretty tired of the fact that everyone seems to have the same argument on this, we should all just shut up and be nicer to the planet…
