What bemused you today?

Pork with Apple - perfect combination.

It appears that Herr Hitler isn't too impressed with the iPad either.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnT0zp8Ya4

You can't help thinking that an awful lot of royalties are due the actors in that scene.
Is it is the most parodied sketch ever?

Although you know what the footage is like - as soon as you start to read the sub titles, you start laughing.
Thank god you can't get it on an iPad

OK, what amused me today?

My Skin Tag - source of soooo much pain and discomfort and the cause of a reduction in mobility and missing Sundays Butterfly trip has apparently had the audacity to just fall off! 

Can you believe that, not so much as a by your leave or with your leave - just upped and fell off. No idea when, where, how or why!

Oh well, best make arrangements to go and see the Butterfly's tomorrow! About time they got shot with a decent Canon

Herman Van Rompuy - President of the European Council.
Jose Manuel Barroso - President of the European Commission
Jose Luis Rodriguez - President in Office during Spain's six-month presidency of the EU (also the Spanish prime minister).

Our local news reports that the US president Barack Obama has called off a visit to a joint summit meeting scheduled for May in Madrid because of uncertainty of who he should be shaking hands with. One Brussels diplomat is reported as saying: "The US simply don't know who they're meant to be dealing with.  They thought the Lisbon treaty was meant to solve all these problems." PJ Crowley, the US assistant secretary of state, voiced the uncertainty in Washington over who runs the EU.

Sounds as though I'm not the only one bemused/confused - no wonder Europe is in a mess. Answers on a postcard please, preferably to Barack Obama.

I doubt you would fit all the names on a postcard!

Not that you ought to feel just a little bit paranoid:

So, they have thousands of cameras taking pictures of you every day, but you can only take pictures of them if you can run fast enough . .

Now a precedent has been set, I must try this when I next get a parking ticket.

Although saying Jesus Christ has never really worked in the past I'll try invoking the help of Mohhamed next time!

I wouldn't expect anything less from a prat like her.

Given that the judge is a leading light in Opus Dei, expressing your devotion to the Virgin Mary might work even better.

Meanwhile, more legal insanity:

Just goes to show how much judges know about music. Or anything, come to that. The flute part could have been just about anything (and only one small phrase, repeated a few times,  is actually similar to the refrain in the Kookaburra song) - it had nothing to do with why the song was worldwide hit. I'll take a wild stab that it might have had something to do with the lyrics.

What am I missing here, rather, what is she missing? Every Islamist suicide bomber is religious, fanatically so, that's how they can ignite the bomb, their belief in heaven.

A sign in a discount shoe outlet "Buy one get one free" - call me old fashioned, but that used to be known as a pair of shoes 

Mind you, I am looking forward to Saturday, a local nurseries are having a "pot sale" - I'm sure its illegal, but...

Here's the Daily Mash view of the Cherie Blair judgement:

Been shooting in a studio in London all week. (Out at 5:30 am - home at 8:00 pm kind of thing...)

Turned my 'puter on for the first time since Sunday.  I have 279 unread emails.  Those are the ones that made it through the elaborate spam filters I run.  So tomorrow I'll need to read them all.....

Plus I probably got a load of spam.  I get about 5K per month.

Triffic.
