I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,711

I didn't have any Barbies. I used to put my friends Kens together and they'd tell me I was weird. Pah.

Dolls freak me out a bit anyway. Although Barbies are definitely less scary than the realistic sized ones that cry and talk.

Oh how I have warned you all about Zebras, they're worse than ISIS.

There was an episode of The Simpsons on C4 today, that originally aired in 1998, where Lisa wanted to go to a museum to see the Egyptian Treasures of Isis exhibit. It was surreal seeing her excited by "the Orb of Isis".

No, no! It wasn't the zebra's fault - the (drunk) man goaded him ( if it"s all true).

Tractor drivers are to be allowed to pull heavier weights and to drive faster but they don't even have to take an HGV test. That doesn't seem right to me.

I'm trying to get the Twitter game going #JeremysSuspendedBecause - for no other reason than if it starts trending it will massively stroke my ego. Also it's fun

"BBC suspendiert «Top-Gear»-Kult-Moderator Jeremy Clarkson"

I think that was a spelling mistake.
