I was watching Super Botox Me on TV … and in case you are wondering, it is because I would not rule out botox in the future. It brought tears to my eyes. It looks painful. I am aware of the saying “no pain - no gain” but seriously this looks painful. And why do we do it? So we can look as close to picture perfect as humanly possible. We just want to look like those airbrushed models and celebrities!
Will I do consider it despite the pain. You bet! I am as shallow as the rest of the human population. Now to fund those few thousand quid every few months!!

I have always thought of dying as quite morbid but well aparently there are some ways where it nearly doesn’t sound so bad…
And some people will actually experience death more than once…. I am refering to Derek Jones who died 31 times!!

I bet it is not the first time that you have heard people comparing prison to a hotel. Well I think this takes the biscuit…. someone found $55,000 hidden away in a toilet in prison.
Seriously, not even when you travel on holiday do you carry that kind of money. I, like most, actually do not have that kind of money, let alone having it run around in a water closet!!
Perhaps I ought to consider a spell in Prison. Could do with the extra finances. Who said crime doesn’t pay?

This is why the world is screwed up. A woman decides she wants to be a man. Fine. Takes hormones to turn into a man but refuses to give up her female essence. She / he (not sure if I should say he or she) even decides to follow through and have a baby! Baby was not even conceived naturally. Isn’t this a case of having the cake and eating it?
Can you imagine what this poor baby will have to face? Can you imagine this poor child how screwed she will be?
Yes - the transgendered person (yes, a new word for these screwed up people) had a baby girl (girl for now).

I thought that freedom of speech was a basic human right but apparently there are exceptions to every rule.
Rules have been passed against people saying what they think on T-shirts as it may cause annoyance or inconvenience to some people!
They will soon tell me that I am not allowed my Carper Diem on my blog as it might annoy or be inconvenient to some people.

I know the cost of living keeps creeping up and up… but this is ridiculous!! A woman received a £90 million bill for her pre pay electricity.
Seriously speaking we would all notice an error of £90 million but let us say there is an error of £20, would you actually notice it? No. I didn’t think so. Makes you wonder how many “mistakes” actually go by unnoticed. £20 on everyone’s bill would soon tot up to £90 million… and yet will it make the news? Will anyone notice? We are talking only £20 on our bill!

When you think Kidnap…. you think Ransom.
Not in this case.
A man kidnapped his ex to do his ironing!! Figure that!!

Did you know that in New York, it is illegal to urinate on a bird of any kind. Can you just imagine Americans trying to aim and fire (and hit) a bird!!
You can!! Oh!!
No wonder they passed that law!

Malta relatively recently (around 10 years ago) introduced Postcodes. They gave each postcode 3 letters and 2 numbers eg ABC12. The first 3 letters signified the town eg SGN = San Gwann and STJ = St Julian’s. There were a few semi odd ones too like ZBR for Marsascala (It is near Zabbar!). The numbers should have been a grid of sorts.
However this did not seem to work for them. They have changed the postcode system already. They now consist of 3 letters and 4 numbers eg ABC1234! The letters have mostly remained the same but some have changed eg Marsascala has become MSK.
When you consider how tiny Malta is you wonder why they need such a large system to get the postcode sorted. Even the USA (who incidentally have a city called Malta) have only a 5 digit postcoode eg Beverley Hills is 90210. The UK postcode is split into two letters upto 3 numbers and 2 letters - AB12 3CD. The first 2 letters splits the country eg TW = Thames West and the rest is a grid system.
So, Malta needs a more complex system than the US and the Uk combined despite it being smaller than some cities in the UK and US!

As you know I am not a person in awe of celebrities. I find that the majority of celebrities do not generally deserve a second look let alone all the celebrity status they? receive. People like Paris Hilton have done absolutely nothing to deserve my admiration, and? my gripes towards her have nothing to do with a jail sentence. If you think of Nelson Mandela, he was jailed, yet you will not find his picture among any? celebrity pictures! He deserves to be celebrated. Yet places celebrate people like Paris Hilton, Madonna, Jade, Nicole Riccie, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Schwartenegger and? 50 Cent (not even gramatically correct!).
