The Ballad of Jogging Butcher
"Thank God I'm fit as a butcher's dog
Or that would have had me pegged"
His oily sweat like liquid lard
Drips from a roast beef leg
Spreads like a messy baby
The darker reek of two rank pits
Unadulterated for the ladies

Fate of the Amazon hangs in the balance | Siân Herbert
since inception, the forestry code has not even been successfully enforced. Landowners often fall foul of the regulations and levels of illegal deforestation are high. According to some estimates, one-quarter of the Brazilian Amazon has already been subjected to deforestation or damage.

Bobby Goldsboro - Summer The First Time
I listened to this as a teenager. Oh, to be seventeen! I thought as a 12 year old. What endless vistas of sexual promise lay ahead of me... and today being the last day of June, like every year, it comes back around. The arrangement is striking, strings and piano combining to evoke an otherworldly, sultry heat haze in this song about sensuality, teenage longing and lust, yet despite this dangerous subject matter, the artist and producers kept it well within the mainstream of the day. "It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, the sun was a demon..." Indeed, it was, and is.

Scientists Confirm: Tea Goes Well With Toast
Scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland confirmed today that tea goes well with toast.
The research follows on from work carried out in 2008 in which it was calculated that it would take the Large Hadron Collider a mere 30 nanoseconds to defrost a pizza.
"We all love a cup of tea," said Professor Schubert Sherbert "and we've often wondered what the optimum time-efficient snack would be with tea. It only took us a week to discover this remarkable and potentially hugely beneficial link between tea and toast - work which we would previously had to have carried out in canteens."
Scientists will now push on to formulate the optimum covering for toast in relation to tea, Professor Sherbert said, and it is hoped that this will reveal more about the fundamental nature of cosmological snacking. Results from the next phase are expected by 4pm on Tuesday.

Don't Mention the World Cup Ever Again
Four years ago in 2006 I wrote this song and made this video for Mr John Otto Cleese to coincide with the World Cup. You know - THE World Cup - the FIFA World Cup. Football. The game played with the feet. By the whole world.
Didn't do too badly. Astonishingly, now England are playing Germany, we're even shifting some more copies of this neatly non-xenophobic number. iTunes: http://bit.ly/dontmentionthewar
Song written by Dean Whitbread, Ashley Slater. Oh yes, and John Cleese nabbed himself a credit too.
