Things on the net....
Mindless surfing has produced these little gems:

B3ta Full of bizzare nonsense. Go to the movies section.
Yatta is a very odd one (have a look at the .asf)
And one that you must have all seen by now but is always good for a laugh, Badgers.

Enjoy

Life!
I have some new outlook's on life:

Day time telly is usually crap.
BBC1, 2, ITV, CH4 and 5 don't actually put anything on People want to watch.
It dose not matter how many dust sheets you put down you still get paint on the carpet.
Your internet/Computer will never be fast enough.
and
People don't, on the whole, change.

Just thought I would share that.

The Big Q answerd.
Here are the answers to last weeks Big Q.

Lots of points to award today, First the questions.

Q1. What can a crocodile not do
A. A crocodile cannot stick out its tounge.
Winners. Markiss (10 Samples) for the correct answer. Brian (5 samples) for, Fly (probably not what you're looking for, but it's true!)
And Edmund (5 Samples) for, Crocs can’t move their jaws from side to side. Also they can’t see below their noses.

Q2. What is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
A. "Go" Is the shortest sentance
Winners. Markiss (10 Samples) For correct answer. Edmund (2 Samples) for a valiant effort, The shortest sentences possible in English
are comprised of a noun and a verb. A common example given is ‘Jesus wept.’(John 11 35 – its disturbing what I remember) although this may be the shortest sentence in the Bible it blatantly isn’t the shortest in the English language. So I opt for: ‘I slept’ not the shortest what the heck. BTW I’m currently listening to Ministry psalm 69 and aptly now have the song ‘Jesus built my hotrod’

Q3. What do women do nearly twice as much as men.
A. Blink
Winners. Edmund (10 samples) for, Blink, attempt suicide. And Markiss (5 Samples) Nag/moan or putting their underwear on... Thong and Bra as opposed to just 1 item for blokes! and Brian (5 Samples) for, Go to a hairstylist? Seems like that's where my mom and sister
are a lot.

Final tally:
Markiss: 25
Brian: 10
Edmund: 17
Congrats to all.

Blinking Pr. Update!!
You will remember Robs email.
Yes you do.

Well you will also remember I took up the challenge and replied (yes you do its down there) well I received an email today from Mr James fryer.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for getting back to me. It's refreshing to see you have such
a strong opinion about this subject rather than just sitting on the
fence!

Could you please remind me which blog you write so I can reference
you.

Kindest regards

James Fryer

I like people who respond. So I sent back a small message.

Hullo.

My blog is "Mindless gibberish of a tired mind" found at http://www.worldofsoil.co.uk/blogger/diary.htm

I hope no offense was taken to the frankness of my answers. When you spend ages clearing your inbox of spam and trying to rid yourself of popups, redirected links and a whole host of other internet nasties that companies seem to use to try and entice you to buy stuff, you become a little jaded. Especially when you feel that a bastion of solace my be a new arena for product placement.

The blogger network is spread far and wide and gives a broad insight into many aspects of life company's should learn to read and understand what people want and are looking for, Not invade with adds and try to force people to be consumers. I have never bought something through a popup, redirect or spam.

My best advice to you would be to spend some time reading through some of the bloggs that are out there, give yourself a good few weeks to get a good idea of how these people think (we are all a little strange) and I think you will understand why there would be serious objection to commercial blogs.

Good luck

Jeremy

If anyone feels I have missed something or would like to add, remove or alter please feel free to do so or let me know and I will update it.

Choke your inner child!
Thanks to markiss for this one

My inner child is ten years old!

The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether
I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost
in a good book, or giggling with my best
friend, I live in a world apart, one full of
adventure and wonder and other stuff adults
don't understand.

Spam, spam, spam, spam, CHEESE.
1. What does party mean to you? (I.e. when you go and get your party on, what does that mean?)

Getting down and jiggy with my bad self, getting pissed, falling over.

2. What was the first thing you thought or said when you saw your significant other for the first time?

Who is this woman and what is she doing in my house, More to the point how do I get here into my bedroom.

3. Do you talk to yourself? Why?

Yes. No you don't, Yes I do. Shut up both of you and answer the question.
Due to my dislexia I sometimes find it useful to reiterate things to myself out loud, especially when writing or doing something that requires a little concentration.

4. What's been your biggest personal change in the last ten years?

Leaving home, county, living with someone, buying a house.

5. What are you most looking forward to?

The birth of my baby girl.

Blinking PR.
Following on from robs recent email I have replied.

1. How do you typically source material/stories for your blog/site?

Vast quantities of mind altering drugs. Not Really, it usually stems from deep within and is brought bubbling to the surface by having to empty my inbox constantly of spam. That and blatantly stealing things from other sites.

2. Have you any examples of a story that you have broken on your blog, being second sourced up other blogs or the mainstream media?

Ummmmm please repeat the question in English. No, I think I received a small mention in a dark hole on the internet, but other than that I doubt It very much if even the mainstream media would debase themselves that much.

3. Do you believe people use or will in the future use blogs as a news source over the traditional medium of newspapers, TV and radio? And
have you any evidence to support this?

Stop taking drugs, Just say no. Your out of your tree me ole sausage. Not a chance in hell that blogs will ever replace traditional medium. Blogs are useful tools for people to air there feelings, thoughts and ideas without the censorship of others.

4. What are your views of the commercial sector adopting blogs to communication with customers, and other target audiences?

Here we go the real reason! Why is it that something comes along that is doing very nicely and some asshole finds a way to exploit it. Let us take a look at current forms of advertising on the net.

Spam Email: What a waste of time, 90% of people now have a program on there computer or webmail to filter spam it is sent and goes straight in the deleted folder. It is never read. It just pisses people off.

Popups: I know lets create a form of marketing where the surfer opens a window and gets 10 for luck all advertising things he doesn't want. Once again programs are created to stop it.

Now the answer.

Commercial blogs: Gee they wouldn't be biased at all. A whole page dedicated to advertising the next cheesy product to be released. " feeling bald, get our new anti baldness monk, with guaranteed results" Yep guaranteed never to grow your hair.

To answer your question LEAVE BLOGS ALONE. Commercial blogging will never work.

The kitchen sink!
The brevil sandwich toaster, Three half used tins of shoe polish and an assortment of brushes, A bottle of bleach, Three dead light bulbs and bluetack.

What do these things have in common. Well they all seem to gather in the dark recesses under the kitchen sink.

well I am on a quest to find what other people have under there kitchen sinks, This stems from me looking for some Bluetack the other day and finding it under the sink. Now in my mind bluetack should live in a draw not under a sink.

So here is your task:

1. Go look under your sink, Right at the back. You know in the corner you have been meaning to clean.
2. Find something that is out of place.
3. Post it in my comments.
4. If you have a camera take a photo and send it to me I will be creating a page with all the images I receive.

Points: I will be awarding soil samples to the best ones.

Hope to hear from you all soon

have fun

COMMENTS UPDATE
It appears that i am still having problems with my comments and i have contacted the good people at Haloscan to see if there is anything they can do.

For the time being the best way to get them to work is to hit your back button, your forward button and try again.

I know this is a pain but stick with me and we will get through this together.
