This was an interesting read . . . I’m a left hander, and also the Mother of 2 cacky-handed sons. I always thought the only advantage to left-handedness was a creative streak, but now it seems we can kick bottom too.

This is the strangest item of spam I have ever received. I am guessing it is an attempt at phishing. . . the logic being, you will visit out of curiosity. It does seem unlikely that the UK, not known for it’s tsunamis, is about to be engulfed by one, wouldn’t Ireland get in the way? Anyway, I’m sure the BBC would have said something by now if this was the case.
I was rather intrigued by this line
“We are strongly urging you to evacuate yourself and your family as soon as possible,even though you may live far away from your city.”
How is this possible? If you live far away from your city, it isn’t your city, it’s somewhere else. For example, I live far away from London, this means I am not a Londoner and London isn’t my city.

An interesting read, even if it did make me feel rather elderly. To this list I will add a few UK entries:
Today’s school leavers -
- Were born 4 to 6 years after the Falklands War
- Can barely remember Margaret Thatcher and probably find her about as relevant as Queen Victoria
- Watch the tv series The Young Ones as a bit of nostalgia, and don’t realise it was once cutting edge comedy
- Think there have always been MacDonalds in the UK
- View the original Live/Band Aid in the same way their parents viewed Woodstock
- Think Mick Jagger is a friendly old chap, and are unaware that he was considered a menace to their Grandparents
- Have no idea that up until the decade they were born in, Britain only had 3 tv channels, and no satellite at all
