Only in America?
2008-01-10 14:32:00
How far would you go for £180? Run naked down a street? No, probably not. Walk over hot coals? Maybe? Would you push a dead corpse down the middle of a busy street in New York on an office chair? No? Well two men clearly thought it was worth the hassle, effort, smell and risk as that is exactly what they did ? only to be caught by an off-duty police officer when, unsurprisingly, a crowd build up around the corpse...read more on Only In America

Granny Pants Put Out The Fire
2008-01-04 11:01:00
Great as lingerie is there are something things it?s not suitable for. Putting out kitchen fires is probably one of those things. Instead you need large, unflattering and cheap ?granny pants.? Which luckily for one woman is exactly what she had when her kitchen caught fire! The quick thinking woman grabbed the £4.99 pants, or ?parachute knickers? and threw them...read more about the pants that put out the fire Buscador Español

So what?s on the cards for 2008?
2008-01-01 18:31:00
Firstly, Happy New Year to All! Well, rather incredibly 2008 is, as designated by the UN, the international year of the potato. Which is a sad fact for the people of Peru who had designated 2008 as their own ?national year of the potato? but sadly no one will be able to tell the difference as we shall all be going potato mad. It is also ?international sanitation year? which worries me a lot...read more about United Nations Year of the Potato and 2008

Romantic Rome ? Top 10 Tips
2007-12-27 10:55:00
Fancy a Roman Holiday? Here?s what not to miss! 1) Give the horse-drawn carriages a miss. They may look romantic, but Roman traffic is anything but. Instead, choose to explore by foot. 2) The flower market on Campo de? Fiori is colourful and exuberant. Down a double-espresso and immerse yourself in the blooms. 3) Does your beloved really love you? To find out, wander through the Jewish quarter toward Teatro di Marcello till you find Bocca della Verita, ?the Mouth of Truth?. This is a legendary lie-detector for paranoid lovers. Put your hand into the scary statue?s mouth and swear your love. If you don?t really mean it, your hand will be bitten off. (Allegedly.) 4) Trattoria San...Read more about Romantic Rome

The Perfect Christmas Day
2007-12-19 10:40:00
Preparing a perfect Christmas Day for your partner is all about a little planning and some early mornings, but put in the effort and the rewards will be there for a long time to come, and it is the season of goodwill after all. First on the morning of Christmas Eve go out and buy some nice breakfast materials ? croissants, local jams, nice teas and coffees, some top range orange juice and so on ? and store them away. Then on Christmas Day get up early, put the food on a tray along with some flowers and a card (women love cards, don?t know why, but they do ? so get one and write some nice inside). Then surprise your partner in bed with a lovely Christmas breakfast and for the pièce de résistance a glass of champagne to really make her feel special. And include one nice gift with the breakfast so she is overwhelmed by how much she is getting and she?s not even out of bed. Ensure you have made the house nice and warm - light a fire, whack the thermostat up an extra couple of deg...

St Trinian?s that most British of comedy films is deeply rooted in the culture of Britain. The books and films were based on a series of cartoons by British cartoonist Ronald Searle. The ladies of St Trinians vary between sharp, sly, sexy and brutish with many being well armed with hockey sticks and other assorted scholarly weapons whilst still others were armed with sexy stockings and suspenders and the skimpiest of school uniforms. The uniforms on some of the girls were modified to...Read more about the new St Trinian's movie

No, No, No to Ho Ho Ho

Australian Santa?s have been banned from saying ?Ho ho ho?. Recruitment company Westaff is responsible for supplying most of Australia?s shopping mall Santas. This year the company is urging its Father Christmases (or should that be Fathers Christmas?) to change their traditional expression of festive delight from ?Ho, ho ho? to ?Ha, ha, ha.? Two Santa trainees on a Westaff course in Adelaide reportedly left the group after the ?Ho? ban was announced. Another Santa said, ?We were told [the word ?ho?] was a derogatory term for females and can upset people.

Ladies prefer toasters to lingerie, Telegraph suggests?
2007-12-09 13:11:00
Modern man is truly alive these days ? we can admit to crying and we look emotional and ?deep?, buy skin care products and retain our masculinity and these days buying lingerie doesn?t make us look seedy or short of gift ideas. One of the writers at The Telegraph newspaper suggests ?his wife would prefer a kettle to some lingerie?. Hmm...I wonder? Come on ladies! Stand up for your rights, get a grip of your man and make him understand the kettle?..is a 'REALLY BAD' idea! This is 2007 and men can still be MEN while also buying their girlfriends or wives lingerie. MioDestino is a prime example of this: expert tuition, great gift ideas, fun blogs and nothing seedy at all.

Macabre as it might sound an Italian undertakers firm has released a calendar showing shots of coffins with beautiful models in an effort to ?sex up? the undertaking business. I wish I was making this up! There seems to be something slightly sinister about using sex, the basis of life, to sell coffins, the most unwanted purchase of a lifetime. I wonder if cremation firms and urn manufacturers will start producing calendars with models holding strategically placed urns?
