November on the treadmill

Perhaps before a refreshing spa, why not let your kitty enjoy a vigorous workout? [via b3ta]

Books 'n' booze

Reminder: London meet up on Saturday 30 June, South Bank & Hammersmith. 11.30am under the clock at Waterloo (look for a gold balloon) for those doing BookCrossing, and 4.30-5 onwards at the Dove, Hammersmith, for those doing alcohol. Full details on the other thread.

People of Toronto, do you know of anywhere we can hire a London black cab for our wedding?

The domestic martini

My parents have been given a bottle of imported gin for Christmas. They are teetotal. While I do drink, I hate gin. Does gin have any household applications?

Life before the Ashes

Stoolball is the medieval ancestor of cricket and baseball. First mentioned in print in 1671, it was reputedly played by milkmaids, who used their bare hands as bats. The game is still played today in some parts of south-east England, but luckily with frying pan-shaped contraptions instead. An important rule is that not following the spirit of the game will get you sent off the pitch. Here are some pictures of games in progress, along with other medieval bat-and-ball games such as Nipsy and Knur & Spell. Or, if you don't like ball games, try another medieval sport, dwile flonking (play online in flash).

Never mind CGI, who needs plasticine?

Stop motion animation plus Post-it notes equals pixelly goodness. (Flash, via milkandcookies)

Ooh, it's a bit parky... in.

Brrr. Our rented Victorian flat is getting a bit nippy. Help us insulate it.

NSFUSA?

When worlds collide: King Mswati III of Swaziland chooses his thirteenth wife at the Umhlanga, a Zulu reed-dancing ceremony [NSFW, tame]. The BBC reports on the story, but then realise US networks they syndicate to might be fined due to FCC regulations on nudity. Richard Porter, editor of BBC World, explains more in his blog.

God hates the gogglebox

Disaster! Our flat was struck by lightning. Even worse, now our TV doesn't work.

Just another day in paradise My new writing project, it's the blog of Rowan, a recently deceased motorcycle courier trying to come to terms with the afterlife. It's more sacriligious than religious -- I'm an agnostic and find the concept of heaven intriguing and ridiculous at the same time. I'd appreciate feedback on where I'm going with the project. Cheers.

Can a noise provoke disgust?

Is there a sonic equivalent to goatse?
