New Camera Lust

I love my new camera. It has macro and a host of modes for all different stuff and I can't stop playing with it
I had a play at my mums today

Here's my adorable nephew Miles



Jess messing about



Jess in her usual position - I think we were boring her..


Flower shots. I took the first and Bethan took the second. I think she took a great photo. Is it just me or does my flower look like a scary Halloween face?

Buffalo Soldier

Dear Mr Man on the bus,

My journey home takes approxiamately 18 minutes. Tonight so did yours. I understand that sitting for 18 minutes can be a trial for some. You looked very smart. Your dreadlocked hair was perfect. Your suit was immaculate and your shoes were the shiniest I have ever seen. You are a cool dude no mistake. I also understand gadgets are a must for any man about town. And your phone is a cool gadget. It too was a shiny black, very slim, small and sophisticated. I know this because you played with it for 18 minutes. It slides up and down. It works because you tried it - lots. It also has an MP3 player - nice.

One word of advice - the phone with oh so many extras surely came with headphones. Let me explain what these are. They have 2 small earbuds on the end of a wire. The wire connects to the phone and the ear buds go in your ears. You know, ears, the appendages you have each side of your head. One of your ears had a diamond in it if you are still confused.

At first Buffalo Soldiers was quite relaxing - its a jolly song with a nice beat. But Im sure your snazzy phone has enough memory for more than one song. On the 5th play, Buffalo Soldiers need to be speared by Zulu warriors.

People playing their mobile phone MP3s aloud in a public place is my new pet peeve. Especially the same song on the bus when I've worked 12 hours and I'm tired

So please Mr Smooth, shove your shiny, slidey phone that plays Buffalo Soldiers up your ass

Thank you

Sticking up for Britney - kinda...

So Britney lost custody of her boys - temporarily I might add

The media circus must be whooping with delight at being able to drag her through the mud again.

I'm not saying she's perfect or not at fault. But I'm assuming she's lost custody not because she's a bad mom, but that she can't look after herself right now let alone two under 2s. But what losing her boys is going to do to her mental state I can't imagine. I doubt she's going to be out partying

She's obviously mentally ill. Whether thats drug induced, I honestly don't know, but even if it is she's still ill. I'm not going to make a Leave Britney Alone video, I'm not advocating her having her kids, Im just thinking

Enough already....

Are you a perfect parent? I'm not. I haven't driven a car with one in my lap but I'm sure I nearly dropped one if not both when they were babies. But I don't have cameras and paparazzi checking out my every move. She drops 10 pound shes skinny and anoerexic, she gains 10 pound shes chubby or "fat"

I know, I know, shes gone out and flashed her butt, her beaver, her tatas. No excuses there. Shes turned trashy and a joke.

She's yet another child star gone wrong. Surrounded by sycophantic fair weathered followers all her life telling her shes pretty, shes a star, how awesome she is. Where are they now? Where were they when MTV made sure they made headlines this year? Who made her wear her bloody underwear on stage? Who drugged her up enough that she stumbled around like Bambi on ice?

Is Fed seriously any better as a parental figure? Did he fight for custody of his other kids. No, because a bit actress isn't as lucrative as a mega star. And she's a mega star because we made her one. Let's wait for how much money he asks for to look after these boys. How much do hookers cost these days?

In an ideal world, Britney would sort herself out and be a good mom to her kids. Fed would get off his ass and get a job and show his boys the right way to go in life. They'd grow up with 2 loving parents even if separated

But I guess that wouldn't sell as many trashy newspapers and magazines

Oh Mother...

Planning to visit my parents this weekend, I texted mum to check they were going to be in

Her reply? - Going to Porthcawl for Elvis weekend in an hour


Dear God....
