Month: March 2003

No-one told me!
I love Dr.Pepper. I remember the first time I tried it, picking from a shelf littered with cans of Tab Clear, Coke, Pepsi, Cherry Coke, etc, wondering what it would be like.. peppery? savoury?
Well it seems that the nice people* at Dr.Pepper are going to try and use blogs to market some new drinks: Flogging on a Blog.
Will it work? Not sure, as most blogs are brutally honest, and opinionated, so I can’t see it being hugely successful, other than generating a lot of word of mouth.

Anyway, I’m off to buy lunch and a can of… well you can guess can’t you…

* No idea if they are nice or not, but I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as they produce my favourite tooth-destroying soft drink

Guilty secrets
Just ordered the soundtrack to Chicago. Shhhh don’t tell anyone (I blame my mother, watching all those MGM musicals when I was growing up has obviously deeply affected me).

Ohh didn’t I mention we went to see it at the weekend? No? Well, briefly, it was FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANTLY GOOD. Or some other superlative.

Quick roundup
Attracted by the picture of Marilyn Monroe I found that lip size is the key to sexual attraction, which is nice to know.
Whilst on the BBC site, I caught up on the rule changes for Formula One for this season.
I also found a link to an item we bought at the weekend which suggests that, despite arranging an induction at a local gym (for Saturday morning), we are getting lazier.
And another item we purchased for £35 in a one day offer at PC World – thanks for spotting that one Dad (ohh and for going to pick it up too).

Elsewhere, Alex has spotted more Galactic Toss Monkeys, Stuart is considering a hiatus (but Vaughan beat him to it), Mike is awfully quiet, probably recovering after the marathon competition he ran (no not ran a marathon…), Meg has a story about a drum to tell you, and I couldn’t agree more with Dan.

Catch up with the rest of you later – probably when I get back home from Daredevil.

P.S. I’m really trying hard to add title tags to my links, have you noticed?

Bravo, well done that man!
Being ill last week I didn’t manage to vote for the last few entries, either way head over to Troubled Diva for the results of the Which decade is Tops for Pops competition (as voted by YOU!).

And well done to Mike for hosting, organising, editing, creating, conceiving, and generally ‘doing a fab job’ with it.

What? You want the results? Better get over there straight away then!

Etc etc etc…

Dang, I missed it
Meant to post something at 3:03pm. Darn. And yes I realise to be properly accurate I should’ve posted at 3:03am but no chance of that happening.

3rd of the 3rd of the 3rd of the 3rd of the 3rd.

Ohh and is ANYONE else watching 24? I think I may have to find a fan forum, I’m completely hooked!
