To slym or not to slym

Some products are sold on their slimming properties, such as this meal-in-a-cup 'Slym Meal'. It has low fat and comes with Calcium and Vitamin C.

Newspaper nudes

Stating the obvious

It is odd that in writing/specifying dates today about current events, some find it necessary to state that we are living in an age after Christ's birth (AD - Anno Domini Nostri Jesu Christi or "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.") - more than 2000 into it. I came across this sign yesterday.

Photoblogs/photoblogging and videoblog/videoblogging are words that have become common in every use, particularly in the blogging community, that it is a matter of time before the keepers of the English language (whoever they may be) will have to recognise these words in the English vocabulary.

This is yet another of those blogs that records things seen and snapped at the spur of the moment that might amuse some, interest others or is just plain kay-poh (gossipy). Enjoy
