An offer I CAN refuse

Feb 10, 2010 22:07

As you may have noticed, if you're on Facebook, they have adverts down the right hand side of the page.  These are targeted based on your age, what you've listed in your likes and whatnot and are usually trying to entice you to buy something, sign up to something or remind you ever so kindly of your age.

Sometimes, people get it a bit wrong and it makes for some amusing ones.  One recently was the ad trying to sell Uggs to 39 year old women.  No word of a lie, the tagline was:

Get Free 39 year old Uggs!
Um... Advertising Fail? LOL!

But this morning, there was an offer for me that was out of this world...A free trip to Luton... On the bus.

I think the accepted shorthand of the phrase you're looking for is pmsl

A free trip to somewhere I don't go to on a regular basis would have killed you?   Heigh ho.

Also extremely annoying has been that my Facebook for BlackBerry application has been up the ying yang all day.  Surely no coincidence that Facebook have been mucking about again and moved everything around.  Facebook are worse than Marks and Spencers for moving things around.

A sad day today... Dean Andrews (DS Ray Carling), tweeted that it was the final day of shooting on Ashes the Ashes series three.  That is officially the end of five quite brilliant series of Life on Mars / Ashes to Ashes.  The end of Ray, the end of Chris and the end of Gene Hunt.  I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm chomping at the bit for it, but it's going to be sad too, to say goodbye to these characters that I've absolutely loved to bits over the past five years.  It's been some of the most fun television to watch.  And what can you say about Gene Hunt...
Actually... don't get me started on Gene Hunt, we'll be here all night...



As well as following the updates from Dean (above left), I've also been following Ruth Gledhill's tweets from the General Synod, which have been a mixture of the serious and the silly.  There was one that came from her on a re-tweet which said, something along the lines of:

After a four hour speech by Dr Rowan Williams
The General Synod voted in favour of assisted suicide.

Cue hullabaloo from those who failed to see the joke...

Update:  Tweet from Dean at 21.43:

It's over x

Excuse me, I have to go locate some alcohol and toast the cast of A2A as they sail off into the sunset of television history.

Bugger... can only find cooking sherry :(

Ah well... will just have to imagine it's Bolly...

EDIT:  Simon has just come back from housegroup with a LARGE bottle of whiskey.  Flitwick Road housegroup are giving away alcohol?  Cool, can I swap?!

EDIT 2: Also has come home with bottle of Single Malt as thank you gift for his stint as Secretary of the QRA...

We're now swimming in the stuff.  Cheers everyone!
