Rustling - A News Roundup

January 31st, 2004 - 17:20 | 4 comments

Imagine you’re happily walking down a Taiwanese street. You look to your right and see a sperm whale being transported on the back of a large lorry. Then: KABOOM! If only Douglas Adams were still alive.

Second on my list of things to do once I’m in power (after banning Johnny Vegas) is to pass this into law.

There seem to have been a rush of heroic animal stories recently. Like these. We’re gonna need smaller capes.

Hands up who remembers me raving about a little single by the unknown Katie Melua a few months back? Nobody? Didn’t think so. Check out the top item on this list, then feel free to email me money, adoring sonnets, underwear etc. Seriously, I received this album for Christmas and I’ve had to work hard not to listen to it too much. You know that feeling when you know the songs so well they don’t seem so special any more? I hate that. She’s got a stunning voice - hopefully she’ll take off in a Norah Jones like manner.

Apparently 49% of people think the Hutton Report was a ‘whitewash’. In similar news, the Chinese Emperor’s nose is reported to be 2.6cm long.

Yeah she does sound good. Good luck to her. Hopefully radio1 or something might actually play it!

Taiwan!! *That’s* it! (Sorry, was telling Lynsey about the whale thing earlier) Hehehe I didn’t think about the Douglas Adams thing XD *scans sky for a pot of begonias*
That’s odd, a fish that saved a classroom from being burned down was called Dory too =P *names her next pet Dory*

That book review thing was worrying to say the least

It was a bit, wasn’t it! Do you ever think about becoming a politician and sorting this stuff out? I do. Then I think ‘hmmm, I’m anti-car, anti-religion, anti-alcohol and anti-smoking…who the hell’s going to vote for me?!’

I missed an interview Katie Melua on the radio last night - hopefully it’s available on the bbc radio player
