Whilst taking Holly to a kiddies theme park in north Nottingham called Wonderland Pleasure Park, we noticed an old Lord of the Rings mural, randomly painted on the main entrance wall. It must have been there when the park had a slightly older market, and must have been painted before the Peter Jackson movies came out. I thought it was quite interesting!

Time magazine has come up with the 50 ‘coolest’ websites of 2006, including MySpace and YouTube. I can’t believe they missed out beedogs!
I don’t know much about sports, especially cricket, so I’ve been given these rules to try and understand. I’m still struggling a bit, to be honest…
“You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!”

This is good if you feel like you’re being watched at work while you surf the net: www.workfriendly.net.
It formats the web page you want to look at so it looks like Microsoft Word! No-one would suspect a thing!!!

Not available where I live yet, but three branches of Currys in London are selling and installing Sharp solar panels to put on your roof. |
They apparently generate enough electricity (even in this country) for half the average needs of an average three bedroomed house, and some electricity suppliers will even but back any excess that you generate (eg, when you’re on holiday). Prices for a 3-bed house start at £9000, but you can get a grant from the government to help pay for it.
