BMW

What does BMW stand for? Is it:

1. Bayerische Motoren Werke - the automobile?



2. Bob Marley and the Wailers?



3. Boy Meets World - a TV series?



4. Black Mans Willy - a plant?

Yes you're right BMW stands for all the above. But it's answer number 4 that has brought a few complaints in to the BBC over 'Gardeners' Question Time'. BMW, or Black Man's Willy - is in fact Rhodochiton Volubile.

Was Dr Kelly Murderd?

I see from today's news reports that Lib Dem MP Norman Baker is once again raising doubts about whether Dr Kelly committed suicide or not. Would he have cleaned the knife he apparently used to cut his wrists? Is it a cover up?!



If I'm not around in future then you'll know the thought police or 'they' have been around to silence me!

A Great Wit

I'm pleased to see that Oscar Wilde has been voted the Greatest Wit of all time.

Spike Milligan, comedian, was second.

And Stephen Fry came in third.

But then they don't know me - do they!

I'd Like to Join In

How lovely - I've been invited to join in blogging on this site by the administrator - Pisces. So here is my first posting:

I see from today's Daily Mail that Gordon Brown wants to tackle OBESITY. It's a BIG problem. But if the Govt are worried about health and obesity then they would do well to ban artificial Trans Fats i.e. Hydrogenated Fats from all foods sold in the UK. The USA and several EU countries have already impemented bans them as it is now known that they are a health hazard and contribute to unhealthy weight gain. The human body does not have the capability to deal with these artificial fats.

If you want to explore more about the campaigns to end harmful trans fat in foods then read this.

Authors

I've just sent out invite to friends who live in the same area to invite them to partake of writing on this blog if they wish. If they should wish to do so - I then hope there'lll soon be a list of authors to look at under the 'About Me' heading.

First Post

We are a group of friends living in small south coast seaside town. I've set this blog up to see whether a 'consortium of friends' would like to join in and experience the fun that can be found in the blogosphere world.
