I don't....honestly!!!!!!!!!

The Law of Exclamation

First recorded in an article by Lori Robertson at FactCheck.org in 2008, this states: "The more exclamation points used in an email (or other posting), the more likely it is a complete lie. This is also true for excessive capital letters."

It is reminiscent of the claim in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels that the more exclamation marks someone uses in writing, the more likely they are to be mentally unbalanced.

According to Pratchett, five exclamation marks is an indicator of "someone who wears their underwear on the outside".



I do use a lot of exclamation marks.... but I wear my underwear on the inside...(if I'm wearing any at all!)

I was thwarted...

A few days back I wanted to post a gratuitious Daniel Craig picture, but could not due to Bloody Blogger's picture thingy (technical term) not working! However, now it is...so here it is...!!



UPDATE:
I would like to point out that this didn't work the first 15 times I tried this on my PC..had to wait until I got home to my Mac to upload the sodding picture....

Will the real men please stand up!

Last week I had a few hours to kill so went to see the latest Indiana Jones offering. It was as expected, entertaining, amusing, action packed, but with a little added extra...a real man...Harrison Ford does 'male' really well, regardless of his age, it's all in the attitude.

It seems that this latest performance from Indiana Jones has reawakened a certain 'longing' in the female population...for a time when men were men and girls were...well girls!

This longing for 'real men', gives us the Retrosexual. Mr Retrosexual has been around for a while, however, it seems that Indiana Jones has given a new face to the ilk!

For those of you not paying attention...modern man has changed a few times over the past 30 years...

We have had SNAGS (Sensitive New Age Guys) or Blokus Domesticus the Australian version! Then we had to suffer Mr Metrosexual.

Personally, I always thought that Daniel Craig fitted the real man (retrosexual) image - as bloody blogger is still not working properly...here's a link to gratuitious pictures

Here's hoping that Mr Retrosexual does not morph into something sensitive in the near future!

I would like to point out that there were mutterings on this very subject, on this very site, way back in 2006, whilst discussing the Milk Tray Man

Normal programming resumes...

I'm back....a two week holiday taking in England, Hong Kong and Banaue has ended...I'm now dealing with the onslaught of work and also editing the thousands of photographs I took...that's the problem with digital photography, I just knock off hundreds and hundreds of pictures!!

Will post pictures and notes on my travels as soon as I can catch my breath. And hopefully have time to catch up on all my fellow bloggers going's on...

In the meantime, many thanks for your e-mails etc checking that I was still in the land of the living! All much appreciated!
