		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve no doubt heard about people who have been abducted and had their kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I went to sleep and woke up with someone elses thighs. It was just that quick. The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans. And then the thieves struck again. My arse was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear-end to the thighs they had stuck me with earlier. But my new arse was attached at least three inches lower than my original. I realised I&#8217;d have to give up my jeans in favour of long skirts. Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arm swing to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary &#8211; my body was being replaced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the smallest person in our bed, Norman the Cat takes up the most space. Most nights I wake up clinging to the side of the bed, wondering how the hell I have ended up very nearly on the floor when we have what most would consider a fairly decent sized bed: a super king. The above photo has answered my question: the cat likes to stretch out, taking up as much space as us humans will allow. Every time I move even a millimetre, Norman stretches out to take up more space. And she likes to sleep sideways. And upside down. With her feet in the air. Oh, and if you can see your way clear to giving her a tummy rub while she&#8217;s snoozing in the position, she really appreciates it. I did get the last laugh though: she actually managed to fall out of be herself the other night when she got just a little too relaxed, rolled over and misjudged the distance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It should have been front-page news: something actually happened at the cricket on Tuesday. And it even involved a cricket ball &#8230; along with a couple of other, more fragile balls. One of the cricketers took a direct hit in the box (a flimsy plastic protective device intended to keep the nether regions of vulnerable cricketers safe and cosy). The box cracked and all other team members were suddenly very interested in the state of said cricketers wedding vegetables. Even at work, it caused most of us in the office to stop, cringe a little on behalf of the poor bloke and talk about the cricket for a few minutes. It should come as no surprise to anyone that I&#8217;m not a huge fan of cricket: a &#8220;sport&#8221; that seems to go on forever and ever and ever. And sometimes doesn&#8217;t even get a result. And I still don&#8217;t think it really is a sport because shouldn&#8217;t playing a sport involve breaking a sweat and moving a lot? No, cricket is a pastime, much like chess and belly-button lint collecting. However, Tuesday&#8217;s incident is proof that even a cricket-hater such as myself can take an interest in the game given [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of telly ads most of the time, an aversion I probably share with most of you out there. And after working nights for all those years, I got into the habit of recording the programmes I wanted to watch and viewing them at my leisure (and with the ads scudding past on my screen via the wonderful fast-forward button on my remote control). I&#8217;ve been working days for three and a bit years now and still try to avoid the ads: most of the time I record programmes even when I&#8217;m at home so I can fast forward those offensive ads. Thanks MySky (now we just have to do something about the small problem of the decoder freezing, crashing and generally pissing me off, but that&#8217;s another whinge story). Anyway, I do see the occasional ad, and sometimes those ads are for supermarkets. I&#8217;m no fan of the forced cheerfulness of the New World ads (what are those people on? Happy pills?) and can do without Richard Till yelling at me in the Countdown ads (although, I did enjoy his last book). Definition Vegetarian: Ancient tribal slang for the village idiot who can&#8217;t hunt or fish. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across what appeared to be a news story on the Mail Online website but a close look clarified just what it was I was looking at: what we in the business call a beat up. The Daily Mail, that online bastion of &#8230; er, crappy gossip stories and other trashy journalism that does absolutely nothing to aid the credibility of the profession has taken to the whole internet thing like the proverbial duck to water and while I am the first to admit the web has paved the way for all manner of crap to masquerade as &#8220;something to read&#8221; (this very blog you are reading right now, for example), you&#8217;d think you might get proper news stories on a proper news website. But no, that isn&#8217;t the case. Although, the story that got my &#8220;I want to Taser someone&#8221; urges piqued wasn&#8217;t about some tacky celebutante flashing their bits while leaving a nightclub. This time it was about the scam being foisted upon an unsuspecting public by those evil money-grubbing pawn shop proprietors, Cash Converters. &#8220;The great pawnbroker rip-off: How Cash Converters buys second hand goods at rock bottom prices and adds huge mark-ups before selling them [...]]]></description>
