London - A passenger in first class woke up to a shock when he found himself sitting near a corpse on a British Airways flight, British newspapers reported on Monday.
Paul Trinder, 54, said cabin crew moved the body of the elderly woman from the economy section where she had died after take-off, the Mirror and Sun tabloids said.
"The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor," Trinder, a businessman, was quoted as saying. "It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows."
The woman's daughter was also upgraded and spent the rest of the nine-hour flight from Delhi to London grieving next to her dead mother, the Sun reported.
The Guardian newspaper said the incident happened last week.
British Airways has apologised for any distress suffered, according to the reports.
The Mirror quoted BA as saying: "We apologise, but our crew were working in difficult circumstances and chose the option they thought would cause least disruption."

Lily Allen's sex revenge
People handle break-ups differently.
Some make their way through a box of Kleenex and ponder where it all went wrong, and some find solace in a bottle or two of wine.
Others, however, get nasty and it seems Lily Allen is of that breed.
You may remember that Lily based her hit song Smile on the break-up with her ex-boyfriend DJ Lester Lloyd.
(The song is about a girl describing her guilty pleasure of seeing her ex-boyfriend upset about her. Their break-up was hard for her, but now that she has got over it and he's crying for her, she feels he's getting what he deserves. And that is making her smile.)
However, when Lloyd decided to do a kiss-and-tell, Lily showed that hell indeed hath no fury like a woman scorned and that it was ultimate payback time.
She told The Sun: "He was my first love, which felt sacred. I wouldn't have been as upset if it was one of the others.
"But, I didn't love reading it in the papers - my grandparents didn't either. He is a spineless bastard."
So, just how did she get her own back?
"I slept with all his friends, actually," she revealed.
Lily is not a woman to be messed with.

Break a leg: say gamblers as Mills take part in dancing contest
Bodog.com is encouraging punters to bet whether Heather Mills' prosthetic leg will fall off during her participation in United States television show Dancing With The Stars. Mills is the estranged wife of Beatle Sir Paul McCartney who lost her leg in a 1993 traffic accident.
The site made a "No" outcome the heavy favourite, and said Mills's leg "must fall off, not be purposely taken off, during a dance routine for all "Yes" wagers to be graded a win."
The fourth season of Dancing With The Stars, in which couples - a star and a professional dancer - compete, is scheduled to begin on March 19 with a line-up of 11 celebrities.
Former model Mills told syndicated US celebrity TV show Extra last week that she wanted to show people that "even with a prosthetic leg you can dance."
"It's very unlikely my leg's going to fly off even though it would be quite funny to knock one of the judges out," Mills told an interviewer.

Man claims to have made love to over 30 cars
Bloody hell...
A British man has confessed to making love to over 30 different cars and setting up a website to explain his techniques to the masses.
It was The Sun which lifted the bonnet on people who love cars - a little too much.
It quoted the story of Chris, apparently a 38-year-old from the West Country, who claims to have made the beast with two boots with everything from a Peugeot 205 to his current squeeze, a Jag XK8. Donald is not afraid of exploring the boundaries of his sexuality. He’s also had brief flings with two motorboats and a jetski.
Not only does he like a bit of quick fit action, he also runs a website devoted to his auto erotic pastime, and claims to be in touch with about 500 other crankshaft fanatics.

Illegal drugs can be harmless, report says
I’m all for a spot of recreational usage, but I’m not sure about this two-year study which states that illegal drugs can be "harmless" and should no longer be "demonised".
The report said Britain's drug laws were "not fit for purpose" and should be torn up in favour of a system which recognised that drinking and smoking could cause more harm.
The RSA Commission on Illegal Drugs ,set up in January 2005, also called for the main focus of drugs education to be shifted from secondary to primary schools and recommended the introduction of so-called "shooting galleries" - rooms where users can inject drugs.

O.J. Simpson says he could be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby
Blimey….If there were ever any doubt that this man is seriously delusional…. Hasn’t he learnt yet to just keep his mouth shut?
O.J. Simpson has allegedly claimed he could be the father of the late Anna Nicole Smith's baby, Dannielynn.
The pair starred together in 'Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult' in 1994 and O.J. allegedly told documentary maker Norm Pardo - who filmed 70 hours of footage with him from 2000 to 2005 - that he was "throwing his hat into the ring" regarding the paternity battle.
Pardo told the New York Post newspaper: "He said he knew Anna Nicole pretty well, and he said he had slow-moving sperm, and he might be the father."
O.J. - who was cleared of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her lover Ron Goldman - even joked he hoped the baby wasn't his as Fred Goldman - Ron's father who has pursued O.J. for damages in the civil court over his son's murder - might try to take her.
Pardo claims O.J. said: "I hope they don't do a DNA test on Anna Nicole's baby. If they find out Dannielynn is mine, I don't want Fred Goldman trying to seize her money - or the baby herself."
The five-month-old daughter of Anna Nicole - who was buried in the Bahamas on Friday (02.03.07) - is currently in the custody of the courts as both Howard K. Stern and photographer Larry Birkhead claim to be her biological father.

Looking a bit run down? Get nipple tint for a ‘sexy flush’
This might be the nuttiest re-purposing of one beauty product since the use of Preparation H on puffy eyes.
There's a scary New York Magazine Intelligencer piece on how Benefit's Benetint is being marketed as a nipple tint. Yes, a "kiss-proof and water-resistant" nipple tint, apparently what every woman wants.
While Benetint says the product was originally meant for lips and cheeks giving women a "sexy flush," it seems that nipples need make-up, too. No word on whether you need to apply lip liner before or lip gloss after.
Benefit's spokeswoman the history of "ripe, rosy" nipples being standards of beauty even encourages that undercover nipples get Benetint. We're not going to argue with the pros of ripe, rosy nipples, especially if you're at the beach, but the real question is: How gross are your bras going to be after you wear it?

"Naked Sunday" at gym, anyone?
Reading this made me skin crawl…
Who on god’s green earth would want to go to gym naked? The thought of all those sweaty bums and dangly bits…
The only workout I can imagine doing naked is the horizontal one, and then you’re supposed to be naked and sweaty!
The first clothing-free workout session at a Dutch gym went ahead as planned on Sunday -- and participants and observers said it met expectations.
Around a dozen middle-aged and elderly men braved the glare of nearly twice that number of journalists at Fitworld gym in the town of Heteren, including reporters, photographers and at least five television crews, to fulfill their dream of exercising naked.
Patrick de Man, owner of Fitworld, said he got the idea in part from two of his regular customers who asked why he had separate dressing rooms for men and women.
"That was the spark," he said, and he ultimately decided to open the gym on Sundays for nudists. The response was overwhelming -- both positive and negative. Some clients were worried about whether it would be sanitary.
De Man decided to open the inaugural session to the press after receiving inquiries from as far away as Russia and Australia.
No women nudists attended, though De Man said eight had signed up, out of nearly 100 applicants overall. The cost is $13 per session, sold in blocks of 10.
Nude exercisers were required to put towels down on weight machines and to use disposable seat covers while riding bikes. In addition, the machines were to be cleaned three times before they would be used again by the gym's regular clientele.
A team of sanitisers from the Swisher company was on hand to explain the full procedure.
Nudists were expected to spray machines with a cleanser and wipe them dry, then repeat that procedure with a disinfectant.
The disinfectant was "strong enough to kill any bug or germ, including Aids," said Sjaak van Huet.
All the machines and the whole building were to be cleaned again by the sanitisers at the end of the day.

Geek Alert: Watch movies from your wrist!
First we watched movies in the theater, then on televisions, then on portable DVD players, then on iPods, and now on cell phones and even watches!
With 2GB of storage, this home theater watch should be the perfect size to download one of your favorite movies.
That’s if you’ve got the balls to look like an idiot sitting on the tube, staring at your watch. And what about the sore wrist you’re likely to get from keeping your hand twisted in a “what’s the time” position for 90 minutes?

Britain To Encourage Online Gamling
Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown will reveal a plan in his budget next month to encourage the online gambling industry, according to published reports.
He will use the 21 March budget to announce that companies could obtain a British licence and still remain based overseas in return for a tax -- possibly as low as 2 per cent or 3 per cent, the Daily Telegraph said on Friday in an unsourced report.
Named a Remote Gaming Duty, the new tax would enable gambling firms to avoid paying VAT, the newspaper said. A comment was not immediately available from HM Treasury.
Internet gaming groups will be able to relocate to Britain and obtain a licence in September under the Gambling Act, the newspaper said. Such companies, however, have said they would decline the chance if it meant paying a tax on gross wins, it added.

Go get some - Sex does the body good!
Shout it from the rooftops – sex is good for you!
This isn’t new or groundbreaking news, but scientists have proved that having regular and enthusiastic sex is really good for your health.
Having sex even a few times a week has an associative or causal relationship with the following:
*Improved sense of smell: After sex, production of the hormone prolactin surges. This, in turn, causes stem cells in the brain to develop new neurons in the brain's olfactory bulb, its smell center.
*Reduced risk of heart disease: In a 2001 follow-up to the Queens University study mentioned above, researchers focused on cardiovascular health. Their finding? That by having sex three or more times a week, men reduced their risk of heart attack or stroke by half.
*Weight loss, overall fitness: Sex, if nothing else, is exercise. A vigorous bout burns some 200 calories — about the same as running 15 minutes on a treadmill or playing a spirited game of squash. The pulse rate, in a person aroused, rises from about 70 beats per minute to 150, the same as that of an athlete putting forth maximum effort.
British researchers have determined that the equivalent of six Big Macs can be worked off by having sex three times a week for a year. Muscular contractions during intercourse work the pelvis, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck and thorax. Sex also boosts production of testosterone, which leads to stronger bones and muscles. Men's Health magazine has gone so far as to call the bed the single greatest piece of exercise equipment ever invented.
*Reduced depression: A study of 293 women in 2002 had the same implications. American psychologist Gordon Gallup reported that sexually active participants whose male partners did not use condoms were less subject to depression than those whose partners did. One theory of causality: Prostoglandin, a hormone found only in semen, may be absorbed in the female genital tract, thus modulating female hormones.
*Pain relief: Immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin surge to five times their normal level. This, in turn, releases endorphins, which alleviate the pain of everything from headaches to arthritis to even migraines. In women, sex also prompts production of estrogen, which can reduce the pain of PMS.
*Less frequent colds and flu: Wilkes University in Pennsylvania says individuals who have sex once or twice a week show 30 percent higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A, which is known to boost the immune system.
*Better bladder control: Heard of Kegel exercises? You do them, whether you know it or not, every time you stem your flow of urine. The same set of muscles is worked during sex.
*Better teeth: Seminal plasma contains zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to hinder tooth decay. Since this is a family web site, we will omit discussion of the mineral delivery system. Suffice it to say that it could be a far richer, more complex and more satisfying experience than squeezing a tube of Crest — even Tartar Control Crest. Researchers have noted, parenthetically, that sexual etiquette usually demands the brushing of one's teeth before and/or after intimacy, which, by itself, would help promote better oral hygiene.
But is there such a thing as too much sex?
The answer, in purely physiological terms, is this: If you're female, probably not. If you're male? You betcha.
Dr. Claire Bailey of the University of Bristol says there is little or no risk of a woman overdosing on sex. In fact, she says, regular sessions can not only firm a woman's tummy and buttocks but also improve her posture.
As for men, urologist Eid says it's definitely possible to get too much of a good thing, now that drugs such as Viagra and Levitra have given men far more staying power than what may actually be good for them.
The penis, says Eid, is wonderfully resilient. But everything has its limits. Penile tissues, if given too roistering or prolonged a pummeling, can sustain damage. In cases you'd just as soon not hear about, permanent damage.
So go get some, girls! It’s for your health…..

But there's hope yet. Online Bingo has taken off in a big way, and it's relaxed, welome community feel has won over many a land-based fan. You can chat, play games and win prizes while you play, all in the comfort of home.
In other words, it's bingo - only better.
I discovered this quite a while back, and have loved every minute of play since. At danger of sounding like a walking advertisement, go and have a look at River Belle Bingo - it's where I spend my free time playing, chatting and having a fantastic time.
Just don't tell my friends....
Smoking is as much part of bingo hall culture as yelling the word BINGO!, which doesn't bode well for the future of this popular game.

Valentine’s Day Sucks If You’re single.
So I looked for reasons why it's great to be single.
It doesn’t quite make up for the lack of flowers and chocolates, but it made me feel a little bit better. Downing lots of shots later tonight should make up for the rest…
1. I don't have to fight for remote control ownership.
2. I don't have to wash smelly socks and skiddy underwear. (not that I did that anyway)
3. There are no pairs of shoes left in the middle of the floor to trip over at six in the morning.
4. I can lie in the bath for as long as we want.
5. I don't have to fake an orgasm.
6. I don't have to shave
7. I don't have anyone saying 'you're not going to wear that, are you?'
8. I don't have to suffer his cooked meals and then spend an hour trying to get the burnt, congealed mess of the bottom of our saucepans.
9. If I want to do something, I just do it!
10. I enjoy sleeping in my double bed and having it all to myself.
11. I can be moody without anyone trying to find out if something's wrong! If I don't want to talk - I just won't!
12. I have FREEDOM to choose.
13. I love waking up and not hearing the sound of snoring.
14. I love going out and not having to say where I've been or what I've been doing and what time I should be back.
15. I love going shopping and not having to hide what I've bought in the wardrobe and pretend I've had it ages.
16. I control what I spend and where I spend it.
17. I can say what I really think.
18. I can have my friends over to drink wine and behave outrageously WHENEVER I want (because he never liked those friends anyway!).
19. I don't have to worry about what sort of food to buy, I can eat whatever, whenever I choose.
20. I'm not made to feel like an idiot for sitting on the Internet - I can surf to my hearts content.
21. I can spend all night on the phone without having to justify it.
22. I go to bed when I please.
23. I can make a mess, and never tidy it up.
24. I can drink wine out of a mug.
25. I can do a smelly fart without being told it's 'unladylike'.

164 days until I read again…!
Once again, Chav’s a little slow on the uptake. I think I’ve only read 6 books in my life. And yes, they were Harry Potter books.
So now that I’ve found out when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be published (July 21st!!), I’ll count the days.
Can’t hardly wait!

Blog of a geisha
It seems that to write a blog that really attracks attention and lots of readers, you need to be a prostitute. Or a high-class Japanese hooker in training.
Following on the orgasmic success of Belle de Jour, a funny, clever, honest prostitute (yes, clearly they can be that), comes Blog of a Geisha. This 18-year old Japanese girl is receiving hundreds of thousands of hits on her blog.
Considering that the blog is written in Japanese, this is no mean feat.
Ichimame is a maiko, or an apprentice geisha, which is a hostess trained to entertain men by singing, dancing and well… other, more intimate activities. In other words, she is a high-class hooker in training.
She works at Ichi, a genteel teahouse in the Kamishichiken district, one of Kyoto’s five geisha districts or hanamachi (flower towns).
She started the “Maiko Blog” on the teahouse Web site in December 2005 to inform people about her world and to encourage people to visit Kyoto to see maiko perform.
And as the Arthur Golden, author of the best-selling book Memoirs of a Geisha could’ve told her, people really like to know about the myserious world of the geisha. In September 2006 alone, her blog received 300,000 hits.

Celebrity Cameltoe! Ain't nothin like it on a slow Thursday...
According to Lifestyle Buzz, there’s a strange abundance of cameltoe lately. We’re talking about the Hollywood hotties and not-so hotties.
For those who don’t know what a cameltoe is, it’s what you see if a person wears… ok no wait. If you don’t know what cameltoe is, I don’t know why you would want to read my blog in any case.
That being said, I also consider myself enlightened after learning that for men, it’s called “Moose-Knuckle”. Lol!
Check out stars like Tom Cruise (moose-knuckle!), Tyra Banks, Madonna, Jessica Simpson, Fergie etc. as they reveal a little more than we ever wanted to see (but can’t help looking at!)

Manchester Wins Super-casino Bid
Why on earth would anyone want to award Manchester the first Las Vegas-style supercasino in the UK??
Riiigghht… Organisers say it will regenerate a poor area of east Manchester, promising a £265 million investment and 2,700 direct and indirect jobs in one of the most deprived parts of the country.
Deprived is right! It’s great having up to 1,250 unlimited jackpot gaming machines housed on a 5,000 square metre site, an entertainment complex with multi-purpose arena, swimming pool, sports venue, restaurants, bars, a nightclub and a hotel.
But you still have to get people to go there and fight off the crazed United fans before they can settle in for a spot of gambling…
But hey, maybe this ends up being a little Las Vegas and then I won’t have to fly over to the US to get married in Vegas in an Elvis chapel by a badly-dressed Elvis impersonator.
Viva Manchester!

10 Amazing Last-Minute Gifts
If you're a pathetic slacker like me when it comes to buying Christmas presents, you probably need some ideas for last-minute presents.
In all fairness, I went Christmas shopping last week, but ended up coming home with a new shiny bra, a Best of the 80's boxset and some flavoured vodka - all for myself.
So instead of actually going out and braving the crazy masses in search of half-decent presents, I'd rather sit and google tips and ideas on how to get the perfect last minute present.
Bloody typical.
Anyway, here's one of my more entertaining finds, courtesy of AskMen.com
Whether it’s Bono securing his tax haven in Amsterdam ahead of a UNICEF summit or Charlton Heston hogging bullets at the annual Guns and Granny Apples fruit pick, the human mind is hardwired to ensure that each individual is their own first priority. Unfortunately, this psychological bias often comes into conflict with many of the norms and conventions we find in everyday life, such as conceding the last copy of Mean Girls to a 13-year-old or having to refrain from siphoning gas out of your boss’ car.
But on the whole, the event that brings to light this inevitable “me-first” mentality more than any other is the exchange of gifts on Christmas morning -- or as is often the case, the lack of gifts to exchange on your part.Hey, we’re all adults here and we’re mature enough to understand that dissecting which CD would complete your postman’s music collection or deliberating what smell a scented candle should have in order to make your boss happy (the answer is fear) should not take priority over acquiring the money/food/calories needed to survive.
But thankfully, because we are well aware that our minds will always put working and surviving ahead of, uh… NERF, we’ve compiled a list of 10 of the best, unique, last-minute gifts that will give your friends, family and acquaintances the impression that you’ve been laboring over this holiday for months.
Number 10
Self-Stirring Mug
It’s a well-known fact that humans spend approximately 1.3 years out of their entire lives stirring beverages. Okay, I made that up, but that doesn’t negate the fact stirring things like sugar and creamer into coffee is a nuisance, with the wet, sticky stirring spoons/sticks and all. And it’s because of this minor yet annoying process that this 3,000 rpm self-stirring mug from Hammacher.com has become a budding phenomenon across the nation’s homes and offices. Seethed in a stainless steel exterior and only requiring two AAA batteries for power, this self-stirring mug will ensure a happy Christmas morning by allowing grandma to mix her patented “tequila tea” all by herself.
Number 9
Handsfree Can Opener
Just like children, the more autonomous a kitchen appliance is the better. And one of the latest kitchen tools to make the transition from "manual utensil" to "automated appliance" is the can opener. Available from SharperImage.com, the portable, battery-powered Handsfree Can Opener travels around a can, cutting a flat edge just below the rim. Moreover, when the Handsfree is finished cutting, the lid of the can lifts off safely without any jagged edges.
Number 8
Electronic "Ice Bucket" with 10-Temperature Thermostat
Drinking a fine white wine that has settled to room temperature is akin to driving a Lamborghini that’s been topped off with mayonnaise instead of gasoline. With this nasty fact in mind, make any wine lover (or wine drinker for that matter) extremely “merry” this holiday season with the Electronic “Ice Bucket” from SharperImage.com. Equipped with 10 preset temperatures, ranging from 35°F to 122°F, this "Ice Bucket" holds any standard 90 mm bottle of wine and possesses a blinking LED that lets you know when it has reached the desired temperature.
Number 7
Bath Caddy
Over the years, movies have perpetuated a lot of myths that have seeped into the public consciousness, such as violence being relatively bloodless and that baby pigs are fully capable of talking to other animals and saving agricultural institutions from financial ruin. But there is one scene shown constantly on TV and the silver screen that simply isn’t true: The relaxing bath with a book and a glass of wine. In reality, the book gets wet/ruined and one is very lucky if their drinking glass doesn’t get knocked off the tub and shatter into pieces. Thankfully, here to put an end to one of life’s unsuspecting terrors is the Bath Caddy from IWantOneThose.com. The Caddy is simply an apparatus that sits over your tub and is equipped with a book holder, 2 wine glass holders, a candle holder, and three-built in compartments to hold other relaxing items or, possibly, a Christmas handgun.
Number 6
Carganizer
Let’s face it: The only thing keeping most commuters from living in their automobiles 24/7 are the stringent laws concerning in-car happy hours. Either way, for most drivers the car has become one big mess drawer, and just like a mess drawer located inside a house, these mobile messes need organization. So here to help out is the Carganizer from Magellans.com. Made of 600-denier packcloth and designed to rest either on a car seat or the floor using grip strips, the Carginizer holds CDs, wet wipes, soft drinks, and maps using modifiable divider. In addition to its center storing area, the Carginizer possesses front pockets for cell phones and sunglasses, mesh side compartments for tissues, gloves and PDAs, and a cover pocket ideal for notes and receipts.
Number 5
Mathmos Airswitch Lamp
Honestly, when it comes to lamps, is it really wise to have semiconscious human beings fumbling around in the dark trying to control enough electricity to kill a chicken? Thankfully for you and everybody you forgot to buy Christmas presents for, there are now Airswitch Lamps available from Mathmos.com. Standing at approximately 10” and available in a variety of colors, the Airswitch turns on its light when it senses a hand passing by its top, while it can be dimmed or brightened if a hand is raised or lowered above the lamp.
Number 4
Laser-Guided Pool Cue
From assassinations to teasing kittens, lasers make everything easier. And now for the holiday season lasers are going to make pool playing and gift-giving much more straightforward. Comprised of two 58" pieces with secure a microfiber grip and an aluminum joint and ferrule, this cue possess an on/off button that triggers a guiding laser that allows you to set up the perfect shot. As a bonus, this cue available at Hammacher.com, also comes with two tip scuffers, two chalks, three replacement leather-tipped ferrules, and a hardside, zippered, nylon carrying case.
Number 3
American Express Gift Cards
Though a gift certificate may seem like a failsafe present, they can and often do end up being misguided. For example, how many of us have bought a wine-shop gift certificate for a relative who doesn’t drink or a book-store voucher for someone who turned out to be an idiot? But don’t worry; the days of coughing up dough for unwanted gift certificates are over thanks to American Express Gift Cards. Available from the American Express website, Gift Cards are valid at virtually any store, from the classiest beer garden to the most prestigious salon. What’s even better is that Gift Cards never expire, they grant users numerous discounts at various retailers, are replaceable if stolen or lost, and come personalized in a golden envelope.
Number 2
MOTOQ™
In the past, when we wanted to compartmentalize a human being into the smallest size possible, we had to wait until they passed away and then cremated them. But now thanks to the MOTOQ™, living, breathing human beings can now centralize every part of their lives into the same 4.6" x 2.5" x .45" space. Besides being the thinnest QWERTY device in the world, the MOTOQ™ possesses an exhaustive array of functions, including a high-quality speaker phone, 1.3-mega pixel camera, Bluetooth-enabled accessories, gaming capabilities, access to the web and e-mail, MP3s, videos (both downloaded and personally shot), and a mini-SD removable memory card.
Number 1
Massaging Foot Warmer
Though love is technically the best gift you can give, massages are in practice one of the most gratifying presents a man or woman can receive. So this year, invest in a loved one’s physical and emotional sanity by not only providing them with a 3-speed, remote-controlled foot massager with optional heat emission, but also a massager that is housed in thick plush lining with Contour-Foam cushioning.
honorable mention
Toilet Dog Bowl
The same way that the most pleasing gift to an alcoholic is a keg of beer, the most gratifying gift you can give to a dog owner is something that makes their pet cuter and more loveable. And that’s exactly what this water bowl shaped like a toilet does. Simply place a two liter bottle in the toilet’s “tank” and let gravity along with Spot’s lack of dietary dignity turn this year’s Christmas morning into the cutest holiday ever.
think merry thoughts...
One of the most stressful things about Christmas is that everybody from your nieces’ teachers to the guy who hit your dog last year is expecting a gift from you. Luckily, presents like the ones listed above are pretty much applicable to anyone with a pulse and who doesn’t possess a mortal fear of gifts. So play it safe this year: Get online, get your credit card and start getting this stress over with.

Poms big gamblers at work, costing employers millions
Well now. It has once again been proven that us Poms are all a bunch of gamblers who are costing our employers hundreds of millions of pounds.
No secret there, I reckon. It’s because our jobs are so pissin’ boring that we need some alternative stimulation, yea? And it’s not like we’re surfing kiddie porn or auctioning off the company’s stationary on eBay, or anything.
But all they see is the £300m each year in lost productivity.
Look at the bigger picture, lads!
It’s just a wee bit of online entertainment, really. And maybe if we win a couple of pounds every now and then we wouldn’t piss and moan about our sad excuse for a salary so much.
Researchers claim 30% of office workers nationally had either placed a bet online or knew someone who had.
The survey, commissioned by consultancy firm Morse, suggested those who gambled on the internet at work were likely to spend 13 hours a year doing so.
The survey said 38% of the men questioned admitted to gambling online, compared to 21% of women.
Bets were most often placed on the National Lottery, followed by football matches, horse races and online poker games.

No secret there, I reckon. It’s because our jobs are so pissin’ boring that we need some alternative stimulation, yea? And it’s not like we’re surfing kiddie porn or auctioning off the company’s stationary on eBay, or anything.
But all they see is the £300m each year in lost productivity.
Look at the bigger picture, lads!

Lily Allen rocks!
Chav has a new favourite blog.
Lily Allen is a legend. And best of all, she's just a down-to-earth, drinking, smoking, fun-loving gal like the rest of us.
Read her blog for insight into this right proper girl, you won't be sorry

Ignorant girls give us all a bad name
I almost choked on my white wine spritzer (yes, you read right... SPRITZER...sigh...) when I read this.
Didn't realise there were still women like this around! Poor soul. She'll probably get knocked up on the school football field, have to raise the kid alone and forced to work a minimum wage for the rest of her life to support her and BillyBob while living in her mum's trailer.

Is it weekend yet....?
The obvious answer is: NO!
But there is a consolation prize. It's Wednesday!
Which means I'll get drunk, probably dance on tables, probably stumble home eventually and definitely go to work with a hangover tomorrow morning.
Life's good....

Stars' pubic hair auctioned off
Ok, this is bloody bizarre, if I have to say so myself. Charity has taken a new twist in the form of a pubic hair auction.
That’s right…
A PR company has decided to sell pubes over the internet. Celebrity pubes to be exact. Whether or not it is the actual, genuine article is debatable, but according to the company, celebrities from all over the world send them their pubes daily. They mount them, and offer them to you.
All pubes are autographed by their donor.
They believe that every piece is a unique work of art, A priceless collectible beyond anything ever seen or heard of before.
I just think it’s gross and slightly disturbing…
Have a look

sucked in and loving it
Still totally consumed by my newest, greatest, bestest, potentially RICH pastime.
Turned the clinky, pingy, ringy sound of the slot machines off before insanity struck.
Up, down, up, down.
I'm quite a few pounds up at the moment, but I'm not ready to quit just yet. There's a sizable jackpot laying in wait....

It's time to play!
I have discovered the fantastic, amazing, fun, fucking marvelous, unadulterated joy of ONLINE GAMBLING!
I never thought I’d be a fan, but after spending many hours watching my crazy cousin Eddie doing it over Christmas (and winning fuckloads of cash!), I’m officially converted.
I’ve even gone so far as to open an account at Click2Pay to transfer money for play and signed up at Lucky Nugget Online Casino (my cousin’s casino of choice). I got some free cash to start my play off with (which was great!) and have been playing and checking out the various games since.
I know it sounds all posh and intricate for a simple Essex girl, but it’s really as easy as shitting in the woods.
Now I just need to hit the jackpot.
This is where I play: Lucky Nugget Online Casino Go check it out!
