I was told recently that my blog lacked humour. So try this gem.

Hmm Looks interesting.

Many papers led with an apparent quote from a passenger on the doomed airline, including the Indo this morning – but events have since moved on:

Meanwhile police in northern Greece have arrested a man who claimed to have received a mobile phone text message from one of the passengers. Police said Nektarios-Sotirios Voutas, 32, was being held on charges of disseminating false information and causing a public disturbance.

Mr Voutas had called Greek television stations shortly after the Helios Airways flight crashed, saying his cousin, who he identified as Kostas Petridis, was on board.

He claimed his cousin had sent him a text message minutes before the crash saying: “Farewell, cousin, here we’re frozen.”

Not power surges…

Ah long gone are the days – but if everyone who sees this (at least those Irish and UK readers) do not break their arses laughing then the Pope is not a Catholic.

I was actually getting to rather like it. But all hopes are lost as TrekUnited have ended their campaign to fund a last season of Star Trek Enterprise.

Jeff is right, “making Ann Coulter the symbol of the right would be like, oh, making Michael Moore the symbol of the left, eh?” I thought she was attractive but, on reflection her legs do look awfully thin. Go to McDonalds Ms. Right!

Yes posts have been very lacking of late, but it doesn’t mean I’m not reading lots of interesting stuff! Hehe.

Kelefa Sanneh reviews U2′s performance in San Diego in the New York Times. They sound in top form, and if the review is anything to go by, Croke Park this Summer will be rocking.

Bono gets the piss taken out of him as ever, and it is very funny.

I really did enjoy Jonathan Ross’ interview with U2 last night. I have a huge amount of respect for U2 just for their talent alone. Bono went on to sing two live songs in the studio – I have never seen the Jonathan Ross audience so animated.
