Not a bad idea this.

Click here and click I agree. You know you want to.

For sale.

Our first marital home here. What a lovely price eh? Sadly we won't see any of it as we are renting. We could live like kings (or a queen in Mitch's case) for that price in Scotland. We're off to look at a place just behind us but it'll be sad to move out, mainly because we both hate moving. Oh, and of course it's our first marital home. Och weel, such is life. Any takers?

Life imitating art?

I've been somewhat tardy in updating I realise (and I do have more to say), but my eye was caught by this, which reminded my immediately of the video below. Oh dear.



I shouldn't have laughed, but...

It's that man again.

I've mentioned him before here, but upon reading about him again I discovered what his name actually means, and it's a doozy.
Born Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, he changed his name to Mobutu Sese Seko wa za Banga. Which is I suppose fair enough, but its meaning is fantastic: 'The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest leaving fire in his wake.' How good is that? My name on the other hand means Champion Big Hill Son of Kenneth. Not quite as exciting. As if Mobutu's name change wasn't enough, he also decided to have some official rumours spread about his abilities including his supernatural feats of killing a lion with his bare hands at the age of 7 and the battle he fought against Zaire's enemies where bullets and spears bounced off his chest, to name but two. What a guy. I've realised that I've perhaps taken the wrong approach to self-advertising and should ramp it up a bit to get on in life. Any suggestions about what I should call myself or what I should tell people?
