Have a morning blog post of things that have recently amused me

It seems that the USA is quite sensitive:


I particularly liked the mouseover on this:


This was _not_ my first date with meaningrequired. Honest.


A rant about Pachelbel that I've probably posted before, but remains very funny:

Which led me to a video where the pianist from The Axis Of Awesome is asked to play Knights of Cydonia while selling tickets in the street, and does a fantastic job:

And finally, have some Star Wars burlesque (unless you're in work, of course. Unless you work for somewhere a lot more understanding than I do!)

As a career cyclist, I would *love* to take a bike tour of the Netherlands.

it's actually something I need to plan now, possibly for next summer.

yeah, since Scotland and Netherlands are both very contained countries [not discounting that the Highlands are relatively remote], travel that seems very common to you would be somewhat rarer.
My partner took me for a road trip to Newcastle recently, and I was *stunned* how close it is. Basically one road. And it took her a while to convince me it was doable.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome that you can get to Newcastle or Penrith in 90 minutes by train.

indeed.

kinda funny, I've been a colossal travel-phobe for pretty much my whole life. I hit Glasgow a few times over summer, went to Newcastle last month, and am going to Moscow on the 26th.

the strange things love can do to you.
