OK – so since I last blogged we’ve been turtle watching, hired a pedalo and gone on a banana boat (no crap jokes please, they’ve all been done.) I’ve also missed incredible amounts of news, and managed to forget Nath on that postcard. RV seems to have started a blog, the logofreetv people are all abuzz with activity judging by my inbox, and I’ve come up with a brilliant song. More at the end of the week!

Oh, and The Rebel Sell was fantastic – everybody should read it!

Hi all! I’m going to blog on holiday (how l33t) and tell you about what happened when we collected our bags at the airport. I was carrying one of the suitcases when I suddenly realised – it was vibrating. Shit, that’s not good. Given the current atmosphere I’m just thinking… it’s a bomb! (Yes, we realised after that bombs explode, not vibrate.) Anyway, there was no way in hell my dad was going to let his suitcase be blown up by bomb disposal just because it was vibrating, and opened it anyway. It was Katie’s electic toothbrush.

By the this item is posted, I’ll be off to Zakynthos until 18th August. As usual, you can still leave comments to this blog but they’ll be held in a moderation queue until I get a chance to approve them. Don’t email me asking why your wonderful comment didn’t appear instantly!

Apart from that – enjoy August, and look out for some photos of a teddy bear penguin when I return.

Crazy Christian leaflets are always entertaining, especially when the English is worse than an IKEA instruction leaflet. Here of some of the edited highlights from ‘God Loves You’ – notice that heaven doesn’t seem to be a particularly nice place and that eternity only seems to last 1000 years now.

For more details please visit www.jesusalive.co.uk or get in touch with Revt Nimal Wijesekera [Evangelist – you don’t say!]

God loves you! And remember, “99% living in this planet believe the heaven and the hell. Every one wants to go to heaven not to the hell.”

The Rebel Sell

The Rebel Sell

So, armed with £20 of Waterstones vouchers to spend (thank you Sally!) I set off to get some holiday reading for our two weeks in Zante before we leave on Thursday. Page turning thrillers or delicately crafted novels are out. Instead – I bag the only copy of The Rebel Sell – a book about counterculture and why it doesn’t work. In other words, it’s counter counter culture. Maybe that’s why Waterstones had it hiding in a stock cupboard. Anyway – looks interesting! I await with baited breath “How Counter Counter Culture Became Counter Culture”
