Don't you hate it when people post obnoxious text at the top of their blog and you have to scroll past it every time you want to read what they've posted? Man, I really hate that.

November 1963 was one of the most important months in (fairly) recent history. On Friday the 22nd of November, John F Kennedy, President of America was assassinated while travelling though Dallas, Texas.
But overshadowing that completely was the fact that the following day, the first ever episode of Doctor Who was released, which of course completely changed the world; Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction series in history, putting anything those yanks have produced to shame....

Heard this song for the first time a few days ago and it's been on my head since.
Apparently the guy played at a homeless shelter and was moved to write this the same night.
I don't listen to a lot of mainstream music, but because they play music in the shop where I'm working I've heard a lot of it, and I'm actually starting...

A courgette, (AKA. Zucchini, for all those who live in a country where they don't speak or teach English English) is a vegetable that I can't say I'm particularly fond of.
When my mum cooks it as a vegetable to go in the typical English meal formula (Potato product + Vegetable or salad + Some form of meat product) it just sort of sits on the edge of my plate, all limp and slimy, clinging feebly to the insides of its skin like an old person trying to conceal his nakedness with a face...
