Here's a new phrase to go round the internet.  After the success of my sister's use of the word wank as an insult (as in, "Shut up, you wank!", or "What a pile of wank!"), I thought I'd think of my own.  And by "thought I'd think of my own", I mean it randomly came out during a spur of keyboard mashing during a conversation with someone who may leave a comment below saying how good my new phrase is (hint).  So, here it is:

Walling - to have a conversation using the participants' Facebook profile walls, or those of other people.

Arrr, Talk Like a Pirate Day, it be.

I hope you've all been pirate-ing it up today...?  Anyone off to a pirate party?  Anyone going for a sail on the seven seas?  Anyone watching some pirate DVDs (I mean Pirates of the Caribbean, of course...)?

Mr Pickwick's, according to a scrolling LED display, is the oldest English pub in Switzerland.  It's the first pub I've been to for a while that I actually like.  Why? - because Geneva is a non-smoking canton.  There's no smoking inside this pub, which means that I don't get sore eyes :)

Anyway, I know what you're thinking.  Why am I telling what is, effectively, the whole world about a small pub in Geneva?  Well, it stops Adam from complaining at me for not updating!

Bye.

You may have noticed already that there's a new 'feature' on the site.  At the top of the page between the menu and the RSS icon.  That's right, it is completely pointless; but its good practice for me in terms of learning new coding things :).  I would give it a name but I have no idea what to call it.  So, from now on, its known as the "click-the-link-to-reset-the-time-button-feature-thing".

As for the poll, the last new feature, it seems to be popular (as far as popular goes on here...).  There's been 11 votes so far - it looks like almost everyone who voted has a bit of a sweet tooth...  I'll be changing the poll on Saturday, and every 2 weeks from then on.  Any suggestions for new poll questions? - leave them in a comment or contact me (button above) and I'll see what I can do.

Finally, if anyone fancies correcting my spelling mistakes, don't hesitate.  I found quite a few yesterday - I need a poof reader.

From a group page on Facebook, here are my top 10 things to do in a lift (elevator, for our friends across the pond) when you're bored:

1. Shave.
2. Offer nametags to everyone getting on.  Wear yours upside-down.
3. Stand silent and motionless in a corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
4. On the top floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the coin you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the bottom.
5. Stare, smiling, at another passenger for a while, then announce "I've got new socks on".
6. Bet the other passengers you can fit a coin up your nose.
7. Leave a box between the doors.
8. Say "ding!" at every floor.
9. Announce in a spooky voice, "I must find a more suitable host body...".
10. Put a desk inside and ask anyone who gets on if they have an appointment.
