I’m shaking at the prospect of not having any cheese-rollingYep! You read it correctly!
![]() Cheese Rolling Apparently the annual suicidal, bone-cracking race down a huge precipitous grassy slope in Gloucestershire by a few hundred nutters has now ballooned into a 15,000 folk free-for-all due to modern instant news and communications. So they’ve cancelled the cheese-rolling, for a bit. And Diane is shaking. This is the bit that I can’t understand, shaking from lack of cheese-rolling, that is… My comprehension is such that I feel I’m on another planet…. See the BBC News report here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire/8563692.stm Possibly Related Sites
Related Posts by TagsAren’t These THE Most Fantastic Pictures?The BBC has picked up today (why today? I dunno!) on some photos from the Cloud Appreciation Society. They are suggesting a new class of cloud to be called Asperatus, on top of the Cumulus, Cirrus etc that we already have. Might I suggest ‘Fantasticus’ as these are some of THE eeriest pictures I’ve ever seen. Thank god for modern, fast, portable cameras! It’s like natural art. Links:

Related Posts by TagsFor no reason…other than a try-out and also the current anti-spam plugins miss the odd bit of comment spam, I’ve now switched off TanTanNoodles’ Spam filter and am giving WP-SpamFree another try plus another plugin, AVH. I’ve left Akismet running regardless. WP-SpamFreeThis now promises a lot, so it’s worth another shot. Two years ago when I tried it, it had interactions with various other plugins, so I dropped it. Since that time, the whole WordPress code has improved tremendously, as anyone who now uses it will know. Visit plugin site AVH First Defense Against SpamThis is a new one for me. It uses the external databases of known spammers and their IP addresses as a blocking filter. This is similar to anti-spam email programs like Mailwasher Pro that I use, so it seems to be “a good thing”. This feature is optional, but it’s the most attractive part, IMHO. It uses either or both of these two services for which an API key is needed. The key is free in each case.
Now it’s a case of “wait and see”. Visit plugin site Amazon Related:
