Healthy Breakfast of the Future: Chocco Flakes with Fizzy Milk

So then, every drink that it's possible to make has been made by now, so you shouldn't even bother trying. Yes, that's right. Any other possibility that hasn't already been put on the market would be plain gut-wrenchingly horrid.

Hey though, what about fizzy milk?

Fizzy what?

You know, fizzy milk... milk with fizz in. Don't you just hate it when you get some milk from the fridge and it's all flat?

Er... not really.


Erm yes, I'm sure fizzy milk will be just delightful. So delightful in fact that Coke plan to release it onto the market. This can't be a good move can it? In this time of growing World obesity and the health push for our children to eat more healthily, the mad boffin scientists at Coke come up with this.

In the difficult quest to come up with a new revolutionary drink in an over-saturated marketplace and spark increased revenues, this seems to be the answer. We are doomed! Or are we? Maybe it will be nicer than it sounds.

The drink contains skim milk mixed with sparkling water, flavored with fruit and sweetened with cane sugar. It may not be the Real Thing, but will be hitting shop shelves in the near future.

I look forward to Fizzy Cheese, Fizzy Yogurts and Fizzy Mad Cow disease.

20p or not 20p that is the Question

And what a question. It's amazing when even the slightest snifter of an opportunity presents itself, the shear volume of scammers in this modern day Internet world suddenly emerge. There can only be one world to describe this category of people and that word is, "Scumbags". Ok... well maybe there's another one, "Stupid".

You may remember, a little while back, the Royal Mint (The clever ones who produce all the physical money) made a bit of a technical boo boo. They made and circulated around 200,000 20 pence pieces without a date on. So.. no date. Doh! This made them all extremely valuable for some reason... a great deal more than 20p in fact.

Some experts claimed any of these 20p pieces were now probably worth around �50. Some sources said they were worth Hundreds of pounds, a few silly sources said they could even be worth Thousands of pounds. Fate had seemingly taken the day off and left Captain Stupid in charge.

Ok, so these botched undated 20 pences were very rare and probably worth �50 each to hardened Coin Collectors.

Step in the scammers / Scumbags / Stupid people...

Within hours of all this, 20 pence pieces started appearing for sale on the popular Auction site, eBay. How many of these were the real McCoy? How many of these auctions were for the genuine coins? Well.... none that I could definitely confirm. Many listings even showed pictures of regular 20 pences with the date either photoshopped off or badly scratched away.

One Seller was trying to sell one at a cost of 11 Million pounds, another at a more modest 9 Million. Each said they would take Legal Action if the Buyer didn't pay. That would have been a very interesting Court case.... I wonder what the eBay fees are on an 11 Million pound item?

To their merit, eBay did remove a lot of these listings. You have to ask though, what thought processes go on in someones mind to attempt and think they can get away with this sort of scam? Criminal Mastermind or Epic Fail?

Ho hum, I doubt it will be the last time this sort of thing occurs. Roll on to the next one...

My Tropical Fish Aquarium Suddenly isn't big enough...

Any obsessed keeper of Tropical Fish will be well familiar with the term "Multiple Tank Syndrome".

MTS is where your love of the hobby gets to such a point, that you desire to keep more and more different species of fish. You suddenly find your existing aquarium simply isn't big enough anymore for your new growing ambitions. And somewhat inevitably you buy an even larger Aquarium to satisfy your growing fishy addiction. After a while, the cycle then repeats itself and you are now deep inside the realms of Multiple Tank Syndrome. These pretty glass boxes are soon everywhere.

Anything can trigger the start of MTS. Reading about a fish in a book or the Internet, or often just seeing a larger more impressive tank than your own. Anyway, take a look at this...



I hope this has helped any sufferers out there. You can't beat a tank that's so large, the only way to clean it is to put on full Scuba-Diving gear and jump in with a large underwater Vacuum Cleaner.

Care: This size Aquarium may be a bit heavy for some floor joists.

Supermarkets cutting down on Plastic Bags. Why?

Last year in the UK, Supermarkets used 418 Million less plastic Carrier bags in an effort to cut down on landfill. Apparently, according to Environmentalist types these bags take around 1000 years to disintegrate.

1000 years? 1000 years? How is it then, if I put some in my kitchen cupboard, they've already got holes in within just a few days? With most of them, one of the handles have already ripped even before they've caught sight of the cupboard.

1000 years? Who come up such an outlandish estimate? Some one who was about to clock off for the day and desperately get to the Pub I think. "How long can these plastic bags last?", "Er, um, oh just put 1000 years, nobodies going to have time to check it for real are they? Lets go now.", "Ok lets, its tough being an Environmentalist what with all the outlandish estimating and everything."

What a load of rubbish. If I made a suit from these Plastic bags would I expect it to last 1000 years before it disintegrated? I Don't think so. I'd look cool for all of half a day.

"What's up with your suit?", "Oh, it's bloody disintegrated again".

That's no good.

They say the average shopper uses approximately 13,000 bags in their lifetime. And you know why that is. It's because the bag starts disintegrating the second you get it out the shop.

"This is It" - Great Jackson YouTube Music Vid



No real need for a detailed description on this occasion. Uploaded in March 2009, 3 months before Michael Jackson's untimely death, this is a great music Remix by Steve Porter.

Great stuff. Keep a close eye on some of those screaming fans, one is particularly amusing. :oD
