Watch this space
When I took the mini bus back this afternoon, I spotted a film crew setting up outside this house, just down the road. I haven’t a clue what they were shooting, but everyone keep a lookout.

Nature Girl
It’s Sunday, so I’m watching Countryfile and I have another nominee for a sex symbol too interesting for FHM. Step forward Michaela Strachan, perky nature programme presenter. I normally prefer short brunettes, but I could spend happy hours hiking with her.
Grand Designs
The Channel 4 wesite has a page listing the companies involved in builds on Grand Designs. This one is particularly useful, being about the underground house built in Cumbria.
A specific link, for later reference as the site is currently under construction, Sundog Energy– providers of solar panels based in Penrith.
Technorati tag: Solar Power
Hugs
Send hugs by phone. I’m with Engadget on this- very, very creepy.

Shopping Zen
I can’t remember whether I’ve mentioned it, but for the last few weeks I’ve been working with a few coursemates to create an Oxford Road version of Monopoly. I walked into WH Smiths today and found this-
Arse.
Then I wandered through Debenhams, where the stuffed toys were getting a little…. frisky-
And what does it mean when Lidl is selling USB drives and 250 gig external drives?
Object of Desire
I want this book. Someone buy me this book. Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase (Flutters eyelashes, tries to look winsome.)
I also visited Magma today. Just put the whole shop on the back of a lorry and bring it round, would you.
Big bunch 'o' Links
Random stuff that amused me on my trawl through teh internets.
The Victorian Sex Cry Generator is an old favourite at Casa Spinneyhead but always worth reposting.
How It Works – the Computer – – we try not to remember the dark days before computers, broadband and all things techy. It’s just too scary. (Although the dark days before broadband was only the day before yesterday.
Fuck the South – a less polite version of Sorry Everybody. I’ve been less convinced about the idea of ‘red’ and ‘blue’ states (fyi Red = Republican, Blue = Democrat) since seeing these maps, particularly the purple one halfway down.
And finally, the one that has entertained me most this morning – How to turn your wife into a house cleaning machine.
HEY, GUYS! You can turn your wife into a housecleaning machine with tips from a psychologist who’s been there, done that — with five of ’em!
“I’ve lived in five different homes with five different wives and I assure you, those houses were spotless,” gloats Dr. Francois Tayler, of Seattle, Wash.
No explanation about what happened to the previous four wives. I’m voting for big divorce settlements or jail for attempted murder.

Are there any penises this small?
The Smart Truck 3 will be bigger than a Hummer. I’ve made the offer before- anyone thinking of buying one- or any other urban softroader- can save themselves thousands of pounds by sending me five grand. For this I will send them a specially prepared T-shirt with the message “I am a moron!” on it.

Fill
Another filler in today’s Deputised Experts, I’m afraid. I guess it could be acut scene.
It's Alive!!!!
The other reason for non-postage was a temporary lack of broadband at casa Spinneyhead. But it’s back now and I’m a happy bunny.
Beerfest-
Setting up on Monday.
Lady-like behaviour from Lesley
Chris gets his bra size measured.
And then has an out-of-body experience.
Last night was the only one I’ll be drinking at this year- tonight I’m driving the safety bus. Magically, my phone could sense my inebriation and, as the evening wore on, took pictures to reflect it. (Though I have to say, I was very focussed on the lapdance I got from my potential nude model.)
And finally, cheesey dancing behind the vodka bar. It’s .3gp format, Quicktime should be able to play it.
Beer Fest 2004
No posts yesterday, due the drinking game that is Beer Fest 2004. This years theme is hammered, and Ian has been busy putting up his ‘art’ work and talking someone in to posing nude for him….
or just turn up at UMIST (sorry, University of Manchester, northern campus), and ask George (the man at reception) for directions. Tell him we sent you.
Cheer up! It's already happened
Riverbend has hit on the idea of Election Condolences cards.
Cheer up…
Your son was too young for Afghanistan.
And it’s still a bit early for Iran-
But there’s plenty of time for Syria…
And he’ll definitely serve in North Korea!
Late
Oh dear. Apologies for the lack of Deputised Experts on Friday and its non-appearance until today.
Collectormania
Collect Britain puts history in place. We’ve chosen images and sounds from the British Library’s famous collections to evoke locations in Britain and beyond.
Knobbly world
How to build a globe from Lego.
And really cool Lego models, including Escher stuff and Mobius strips.
Take Away
A follow up to the Bailing Out post. Lots of foreign holders of dollars are selling up. China in particular holds $515billion and could be ready to dump loads of it as they prepare to tie their currency closer to others in the Far East. If they decide to start recouping their trade debts as well you can say hello to America the Third World country. This is a possible plot thread in the technothriller satire I keep considering.
