The Bootyful Game. What if football was played by beautiful girls rather than funny looking men? [video]

FiveThingsToKnow wrote a post recently which caught my eye: A guide to choosing a vacuum cleaner. I threw out my old vacuum just the other day. It had lost it’s ability to suck up dust which effectively turned it into a very large, ugly paperweight. A lot of people seem to recommend Dyson vacuum cleaners. I’m not that bothered as long as it sucks!

Iggy Pop’s rider. “We need one (1) monitor man who speaks good English and is not affraid of death…”

Another stupid tattoo (see previous stupid tattoo post) this time of Patrick Swayze. As a centaur. With a rainbow. Obviously.

Scientists have created a map that shows the differences among smells, potentially enabling odors to be digitized and transferred with computers. At last, one step closer to smell-o-vision!

Another Tattoo blunder

About a month ago a wrote a blog post about Joanne Raine, a girl from Darlington who ended up regretting her tattoo. Well now another tale of regret and ink has emerged.

Alan Jenkins decided to express his love for his family in the tradional way, a tattoo covering the whole of his back.

Alan spent 20 hours under the needle at a cost of £870. As you can guess things went downhill from there. The tattoo isn’t actually that bad. The drawings of his daughters Daniella and Jade, and his wife Lisa look quite like them. This is a minor miracle as normally tattoos of peoples faces look horrible.

The problems occured when Alans wife of 15 years ran off with a 25 year old Latvian fittness instructor Kaspars Gavars. Alan remains positve despite his cheating wife’s face following him everywhere he goes, saying

“I’ve still got plenty of room on my chest if I get hooked up again.”

‘Supermarket’ Tattoo Blunder.

Joanne Raine was very much In love with her boyfriend ‘Roo’ and wanted to express that love to him. She didn’t buy him a present however or cook him a nice meal, she got a tattoo. There are three rules to remember if you plan on getting a tattoo

Don’t get someones name.

Don’t have a tattoo written in a language you don’t understand.

Don’t get the name of a band, because every band turns rubbish or reunites when they are 60+ for the cash.

As you can see Joanne ignored the rules. It was only once she showed the guys behind the counter at here local Chinese takeaway her new ink that she found out that it didn’t say’Roo’ but ’supermarket’.

Even that was incorrect as Kanji (the Chinese characters that make up part of the modern Japanese logographic writing system) form whole words rather than letters.

“I did it because I wanted to show him how much I loved him and he had one done as well.”

Perhaps she was lucky that the tattoo doesn’t actually say anything, she has since split up with her boyfriend and can’t afford to get the tat covered up.
