Penguin Chocolate Bars!
Thought for the day:
What’s the point of having different coloured wrappers when they’re all the same milk chocolate biscuit bar inside?

I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
World Record Holders
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
Living in the USA
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
Underground : USA
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

What do you mean different colours? Does that mean I’m colour blind?
Baa Humbug!!Don’t be so picky, my kids love the variety of wrappers.
ooo…naughty Geoff, removed Neils comment. What happened to freedom of speech through blogs? It’s like being in china or something…
“It’s my blog, and i’ll…” Etc.
He hasn’t noticed yet. But putting a post that asks people not to post is not really game, is it?
But is it not up to the individual to decide on whether they should post or not. They should be free to hear the arguments from all sides, and make an informed decision based upon these facts. By blocking out your opposition, are you not just lowering yourself down to their standards?
also, on my browser (firefox), when i put the cursor over one of the drop down headings on ur site and then take the cursor away, the name of the heading is gone…is this supposed to happen?
Absolutely. It is up to the individual on whether they should post or not.
And it’s up to me, the owner of my website to decide what comments to allow or not. Your argument works both ways.
Neil was also trying to bring a halt a discussion ‘thread’ in my comments, which arguable you could say is trying to prevent other individuals on deciding whether they decide to post or not – So actually, you’re agreeing with me. Nice one, thanks Mikey
Oh, and it’s still my blog!
And many a wise-man have scratched their heads over that bug which only happens in Firefox. It’s really pissing me off. I will be getting some better menus soon – honest.
Oh, and I prefer blue penguin wrappers. If anyone cares …
Is there anyone out there who has kids who own magnetix and no longer want/use them…if so, feel free to send them to me, as my wages cant keep up with the amount of magnetix i need.
For those of you who have no idea what im on about, go to the argos website, and search for 372/3913…(I didn’t know that from heart…honest)
They are a great toy for all ages, so it doesnt bother me if you think it’s weird i play with these
Mikey: Congratulations for winning “Most obscure and off-topic comment to a post in a blog award”, like – ever.
Unless that was your intention of course, in which case you can’t have the trophy after all.
OMG…I won…happiest day of my life…i never win…when will i get my trophy?
Geoff, it’s not just FF, but the menu-disappearance thing also happens in Netscape 7.0. as well. I gave up rolling over your menus long long ago.
You’re all so weak.
And it’s nice to see that every comment is about Penguin wrappers …
Evidently Mr Marshall suffered a temporary sense-of-humour bypass when he deleted my comment despite the obligatory smiley indicating that I was hardly being serious.
Either that or he just does what people tell him all the time
(See, smiley Geoff – ha ha ha, joke etc etc).
Love ya really!!
Anyway, I fancy a Penguin now … anyone else?
Lucky penguin.
What’s her name?
Pippa
Pippa-pippa the penguin …
(See what I did there?)
Geoff – it’s like those designer cigarette packets i was so proud of… just makes life a bit more exciting, innit? sigh. i’m such a sucker for pretty packaging
Back to Penguin wrappers- for a humble chocolate flavoured excessively sweet biscuit, their wrapper designs are pretty ingenious. I wonder if there’s someone whose job title is Penguin Pose Producer.
More to the point, who writes the crap jokes that go on the wrapping of the bar?
I’ve asked it before and I ask it again…what IS it with you English and those penguins!
The same guy that writes the crap jokes on Walls ice-cream sticks, surely?
Best all time lolly stick gag:
Q. Why didn’t the skeleton go to the dance?
[slurp on lolly for 5 minutes ... ]
A. Because he had no body to go with.
Bring on the BAFTA ..
