Online baking - how does that work? I got a spammy e-mail this morning asking me to click on a link to enter my details (which I didn't) and reactivate my online baking account. Just was perusing how that would work - do you pick up eggs with the mouse and break them into a bowl, then grab milk and stuff, then a mixer? Seems a bit pointless if you can't eat it all in the end.

It's horrible, and awful for her family, and I want y'all to understand that I don't mean it cruelly.. but I'm glad Jade Goody finally died today. This'll hopefully mean the shitty papers for thick people won't be full of such mindless meaningless stories. OK, so we'll have 'tribute' stuff for a week or two, but it'll die down (if you pardon the pun) soon.

I wonder whether we'll have conspiracy theories about her death in the same way as we did for the now deposed 'People's Princess' Diana? Was the doctor drunk when he was treating Jade? Did The Queen have Jade killed because she was having an affair with Prince Edward? Was there more than one metastasis on the grassy knoll?

Ilunga is a relatively common personal name in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In June 2004, it was reported as being the world's most difficult word to translate. Ilunga, described as a word from the Bantu language, was said to mean "a person who is ready to forgive any abuse for the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time". However, there is no independent evidence that the word actually means that :-)

Sportingly, England lost the second one-dayer in the Caribbean, and the score stands at 1-1 after a match that ended in chaotic miscalculation of D/L t'other day. The ladies cricketers did a lot better and won the Women's Cricket World Cup in the early hours.

Liverpool slaughtered Villa 5-0 at Anfield and move to within a point of Man United. In a match between two rugby league towns, Wigan beat Hull City by a single Ben Watson goal. The score was the same in the favour of Manchester City against Sunderland.

..and then my PC crashed and wouldn't turn back on, so that's it for Sunday's entry, folks!
