I staggered sleepily to the kitchen yesterday morning when I was greeted by the sight of a raisin on the floor in front of my fridge. Lest you think I am so obsessive-compulsive as to freak at a mere raisin on the floor, let me remind you that a raisin bears an uncanny resemblance to [...]

I just added an About Me that links to my Dobbs Home Page. I had fun creating it with Google Page Creator — it's the first web page I ever made and it was so simple to do too!
Squirrel for England!
Posted in News & Oddities on April 23, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Taken from Vitalfootball:
Pacey Arsenal left back, Squirrel, could be called up for England after a great display at Highbury last night.
Squirrel played 15 minutes of the first half and stole the show, his pace and trickery causing the Yellow Submarine all sorts of problems.
Nutkin' to his mates, will almost certainly feature in Sven's world cup [...]
Swiss Hunks

Following my post on Come to Switzerland, BBC News reports that the Swiss Tourism Board commercial on "World Cup 2006: Our Alternative Ladies' Programme" has been generating interest around the world, despite only having been broadcast on the internet. There is the one potential hiccup – the Swiss team has actually qualified for the tournament [...]
It’s goodbye Ace

After a few weeks of less than inspiring performances with strange song choices, American Idol 5 got it right on 2 fronts — they had an awesome Rod Stewart-Great American Songbook episode, and Ace got voted out. I love Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook series so I really enjoyed this week's show with all the [...]
Nescafe Decaf

Hubby got tired of me looking longingly at the coffee jar every morning and sniffing his cup of coffee so he suggested I get some decaf coffee. I got a jar of Nescafe Decaf from Giant today – not the same bottle though as the picture. I haven't had a taste yet but I guess [...]

Winnie the Pooh gets Star

Winnie the Pooh sure does love his honey, but the beloved bear now has something just as sweet: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Not bad for a Bear of Very Little Brain!
On another note it is interesting that EH Shepherd who illustrated the Pooh books actually hated the bear and his association [...]
Civet coffee anyone?

For the truly brave, fancy a cup of civet coffee?
One of Philippine's best kept secrets, it is produced from the droppings of the palm civet. Known locally as alamid, civets are carnivorous but they also have a taste for the sweet, red coffee cherries that contain the beans. The beans pass through the civet [...]
Come to Switzerland

I’ve been taking a break from blogging the past few days (not that anyone seemed to notice!) but what better way to break a blogging dry spell than this:
Switzerland is seeking to entice football widows to leave their sports-obsessed men behind during the upcoming World Cup and visit their country. And what better [...]
