It’s Question of the Day time!

It’s a slightly more intellectual one this time. Considering that the banks should be held accountable for the continuing financial crisis and that the bailout of Greece will inevitably be followed by a domino effect of more and more economic problems, in what way would you – if you had the opportunity – most like to kill Phil Collins?

I was checking the statistics of my visitors and saw that many of you do not speak English as a mother tongue, so if there is something you don’t understand, here is a very useful link


My editor Denis works as a translator and uses this site to do all of his translations.

You might have looked at some of my favourite music under my profile. As a country girl I really should like country music, but unfortunately it is a huge pile of Collins. I much prefer the Sex Pistols. One good thing about country music, however, is that the song titles are sometimes brilliant. Here are some of my favourites:

Get Your Tongue Outta My Mouth 'Cause I'm Kissing You Goodbye
How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?
Don't Know Whether To Kill Myself Or Go Bowling
Hate Every Bone In Your Body Except For Mine
Still Miss You Baby, But My Aim's Gettin' Better
I'm So miserable Without You, It's Like Having You Here
If I Had Shot You When I Wanted To, I'd Be Out By Now
Mama Get A Hammer (There's A Fly On Papa's Head)
My Wife Ran Off With My Best Friend, and I Sure Do Miss Him
You're the Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly

You humans puzzle me sometimes. I mean, what enjoyment could you actually possibly get out of cow tipping? I originally thought it was along the lines of giving bovine waitresses a bit of extra money for the quality of service, but no – you humans actually sneak up to cows to push them over. In case you don’t believe me, here is the documentary evidence.


What a disgrace. I mean, there must be better ways to spend an afternoon than pushing over a poor, unsuspecting cow. But even this is more understandable than another human pastime apparently very popular in Liverpool - fly tipping. The intricacy required to tip over a fly – surely it’s not worth the effort for the amount of fun that can be derived from this cruel hobby.

More to follow soon
