Floaters

On my way into work I walk across the River Thames - between London Waterloo and Embankment. Last week, whilst making this now habitual trek, I saw what turned out to be a human body floating face down the river.

Lovely.

Anyhow - I stuck around for a bit too long (to rubber neck) - and morbidly watched the guys down by the pier go out and fetch it/him/her. Then I tootled off to work (now late).

What has prompted this post is that I'm a little bit disturbed by the lack of news coverage since then... surely a (presumably) dead body floating in the Thames is news worthy?

Apparently not.

Marmite. Did you know...

You either love it or hate it. But regardless of its culinary properties - Marmite has been found to have a wonderful property. Read below fellow Marmitians.

I am not a red head. I have no ginger-gene. Yet bizarrely I seem to have developed a few ginger-ish side-burn hairs over the last 6 months or so. I try to ignore them, but now and then - when the light is just right - I catch a glint of reddy-gold in the mirror.

Marmite, it seems, can cure this. A healthy dollop of marmite spread liberally across your sideburns and left to 'mature' or 'marinate' overnight can give a long lasting dye affect for weeks and weeks.

Marmite your sins away. Do it.

Dean Gaffney - I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!

Anyone who just missed this on ITV has missed out on what was quite possibly the funniest thing on TV for a long, long time.

It was so funny I was actually crying.

Can't wait till some You-Tubes it.
