Vicks
Apparently you are not supposed to stick vicks up your nose. The reason is that the petrolatum base might accumulate in the lungs and cause inflammation called chemical pneumonitis according to people's pharmacy. Many people including myself have put vicks just on the inside of the nose, just to get the scent. Due to its strong scent, it disguises any nasty surrounding smells. For example, in a morgue as in Silence of the Lambs. There's even a weird sexual use for it but it's not recommended.
Fitness vs Diet
I read in the newspaper that research suggests that fitness should exercise than diet. I would have thought they go hand in hand. I presume the thinking is that at least when you exercise, you are burning off calories. Mind you this is old news
Coconuts
There was a funny picture of an asian taxi carrying a load of coconut husks. It's amazing that the little taxi didn't topple over
Cup Finals
The FA Premiership finishes very late on May 24 and the FA Cup Final is on May 30.
Unusually, the Champions League Final is not the final game of the season as it's on May 27.
London Marathon 2010
I clean forgot about trying to apply for the London Marathon yesterday and now due to traffic, it's unavailable. Highly disappointing. Here's a report
Scotland
I want to try the Caledonian Sleeper from London to various locations in Scotland. But I'd love to go even further up north. Inverness is probably the main city in Highland Scotland. But if you go there, you have to visit all the surrounding areas. I'd go up to Wick. Nearby is the furtherest point on mainland Britain, John O'Groats. That's another 4 hours by train. Then there's the Orkney and Shetland islands.

Random Musings - Day #36
So the UK interest rate is down to a paltry 1%. This means savers will get a maximum of 1% interest. You can't save squat, might as well spend it... Oh let's all go buy a house for a laugh! However, the flip-side is you can borrow pretty cheaply now.
Be careful of hotels. Apparently some hotels are being targeted in an old fashioned phishing attack... That said, it looks like it fallen under the radar of the most popular anti-virus/malware companies and fraudtip weren't available for comment. Pinch of salt?
Well hopefully winter is going to go away soon. But why fight it? Certainly in North America, you've got the start of Winterlude in Ottawa tomorrow for 3 weekends and then if you can get down Miami, there's the Winter Music Conference. While we are at it here's a good guide of things to do, clubs, bars and more at Hype1 (which is not to be confused with an energy drink called hype).
Look out for a remix of Cafe Del Mar vs Nelly Furtado of "Say it right"
Tictac are your real winners of the fourth round of the FA Cup. Due to no fault of their own, they and Volkswagon replaced the goal that saw Everton past Liverpool.
In case you are wondering here's the way to turn off the sounds for yahoo messenger within yahoo mail.

Random Musings - Day #4
Yesterday was arguably the best day of football in England. It was round 3 of the FA Cup, where little teams like Blyth Spartans and Barrow take on bigger clubs like Middlesborough and Blackburn. Also Southend holding Chelski at Stamford Bridge! There will be at least two non-league sides in the 4th round with Torquay and Kettering making it.
Round 4 will be great with Liverpool drawing Everton and Kettering taking on premiership Fulham.
Manchester United look like they are 4th round bound as the are leading 3-0 against Southampton. I am listening to the commentary. I love Ian Holloway's colour commentary on the radio. He was eulogising over United's Berbatov. "He has been carressing the ball all afternoon. Any girl would love him so much!" He says a lot of weird and wonderful stuff. There are some notable quotables about.
He should write a book or be a panelist on one of those quiz shows like 8 out of 10 cats or mock the week.
Just to add, I was told that it was possible to get live streams of football games for free from my dad. After doing some research, there apparently is a way at the moment, through freepremiership.com which leasds to myp2p.eu.
I've had a haircut to basically tidy up my hair. Essentially I've not had it touched for 8 months, so it is everywhere and a little itchy at the back. I think I have my own style. I got a friend to cut it. This turned out to be a good idea. Every time I go to the barbers, I ask for a short, back and sides they cut the top off anyways, which is not what I want. I don't believe there is a name for my hairstyle. But see my hair is long on top and drops down, I could style my hair in a number of ways.
A children's classic albeit very creepy was also brought to my attention in the form of Noseybonk. It's simply some guy with a mask that has a long pointy nose and sets riddles for himself for the viewer to work out. He's the very saw-like trailer.
