The Great London Easter Egg hunt

-
The London Easter egg hunt is well and truly underway.

I have kept my eyes peeled for more giant eggs scattered around the capital and today I stumbled across not one but two.

There are 200 altogether and they have been put out by world-famous jewellery maker Faberge in the run up to Easter.

They are certainly brightening up the city and after stumbling across my first one last week, I am getting quite excited when I come across more of them.

I spied these two in close proximity of each other in central London, but I am not going to say where – that would spoil the fun.
All the eggs have been decorated by celebrities including Bruce Oldfield, Sir Ridley Scott and Zandra Rhodes.
The first was a black egg beautifully decorated with white and red flowers, the second which was just around the corner was white and bore some kind of poem with the word “zero” used a lot throughout the text.
I have no idea what hat is all about, but they are rather attractive.
The person who finds all 200 by easter wins a diamond jubilee rose gold egg, worth £100,000.
You have to text a keyword on a notice to be in with a chance of winning the prize egg which is encrusted with 60 jewels, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires, to mark the Queens 60 years on the throne.

There are 197 more to find, watch this space.

Another sour and yawn-inducing offering from Tabloid Watch

I t was Oscar Wilde who wrote “the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about”. I have nothing more to add other than to share the following, posted on Tabloid Watch - the website which purports to blog about “bad journalism”. It is in response to Friday's report in the Express putting our money where our mouths are when it comes to reporting the weather. Predictably it follows their usual style of pointless drivel. Point the critical finger guys, be my guest, it does make me chuckle - but while you are doing so, be very careful someone doesn’t have cause to point it firmly back at you.

Jedward spotted in the city, but what were they up to?

I know that hair, I thought to myself as I passed London’s Monument on the way home from work. Those ridiculously elongated, spiky locks, wacky costumes and irritating voices were an immediate giveaway. And of course it only took me a second to recognise Jedward – the X-Factor twins whose ludicrous image and inability to hold a note have propelled them to (semi) fame. I have nothing against them, I am only being mean, and credit where it’s due, they are fiercely determined, and have built up a pretty unique act for themselves. So well done brothers Grimes. But it has to be said, the act is based around being cringe-worthingly bad at everything they try. They only made it through on the X-Factor because Simon Cowell was won over by their determination and self-belief – and let’s face it, that is really all it takes. At one point during the sing off with another band, they barged their way to the front and took over, throwing the other (better) act into the...

Is it racist to mark St George's day?- Ricky Gervais thinks some may think so

-
I don’t like Ricky Gervais. I’ve never found him funny, he comes across as self-absorbed, arrogant and sporting a hugely over-inflated opinion of himself. I didn’t get all the fuss people made of that dance thing he did on the Office, and his infamous “two mongs don’t make a right” comments on twitter which seemingly ridiculed disabled people were at the very least, in poor taste. This morning, however, when he raised another issue  close to the bone, I found myself  thinking  he may have a point. On Twitter, he broached the super-sensitive issue of racism speaking about today being St George’s Day, a celebration of all things, well, English. He wrote: “Happy St George’s Day (That’s the day that English people don’t celebrate in case someone thinks they’re racist).” I found myself thinking  “that’s brave of him”, and " that’s an interesting topic, I’m going to blog about it". But as my fingers hovered over the keyboard I felt a cold flush of...
