Thom's Tangents II

Yes already. Not as long this time, just heard a few bits today I wanted to comment/pass judgment on. Think of it like the old saying "you wait ages for a bus then two turn up at once". How anyone could be waiting for two buses at once is beyond me though. How the fuck would you know which one to get on?

A Norwich man was sentenced yesterday on charges of being drunk in charge of a vehicle. The court was told that the man took his three children to the cinema and proceeded to drink an entire bottle of vodka and leave the screen with his kids still in there. The children later refused to get into the car with him. You see this is exactly what happens when you go and see any of the Twilight films.

Australian band Men At Work have lost a plagiarism case against the Girl Guides over the song 'Land Down Under' which is said to be similar to a song written by a Guide in the 30s catchily entitled 'Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree'. They sound nothing alike. Sadly Men At Work have been forced to pull all forthcoming live shows as 'Land Down Under' is their only song.

Lot of controversy about John Terry. People worrying about negative effects on England's World Cup chances. I think the fact that England are shit should be the more pressing factor though as it goes to that.
