    A little bit fruity!

    Something made me smile today - a driving school in Scotland.  It's called 'Drive Me Bananas Driving School'!  Haha!

    Fish breaks teenager's jaw

    pa.press.net - 09.09.2008 00:29

    A US teenager's jaw was broken when a fish flew from the lake where he was floating on a rubber ring, and smacked him in the face.

    Seth Russell, 15, was cruising on Lake Chicot in Arkansas on a large ring towed by a boat when a Silver Asian carp leaped from the water and hit him in the face. The boy was knocked unconscious. "He doesn't remember anything at all," the boy's mother, Linda Russell, said.

    He is not the only one who has had a run-in with the "flying" Silver Asian carp. Carole Engle, director of aquaculture and the fisheries centre at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, said: "Over the past year, we have had some calls about fish jumping and causing injuries on Lake Chicot."

    Queen of the screwdriver

    Bob the Builder has nothing on me.  I am the Queen of the screwdriver.  That sounds a bit dodgy.  But I'll put it in context.  I'm not a drag artist who likes a bit of the old.... hows yer father.  No no.  We're talking DIY.  We're talking putting stuff together.  Namely screwing my toilet roll holder back on the wall.  Hardly full-on flat-pack creation with unintelligible instructions ("attach part a to part b whilst holding part f to the sun and singing Old Macdonald").  But the bloody thing wouldn't go on!  Whoever designed it needs a lesson in angles.  I was not beaten however!  Oh no indeed!  I persevered (I may also have sworn a few times - the f-word often helps I find in moments of excessive stress) and success followed shortly.  I just know it's going to come back off again though.  I suspect one will be calling upon 'No More Nails' very shortly.  But don't tell my landlady, she might not like it.
