SAY WHAT... ?!
These are 'real', although obscure, rarely used and mostly forgotten words from the English language...
DIBBLE - To drink like a duck, lifting up the head after each sip.
EYESERVICE - Work done only when the boss is watching.
LIBBERWORT - Food or drink that makes one idle and stupid. Food of no nutritional value; junk food.
CHANTEPLEURE - To sing and weep at the same time.
MEUPAREUNIA - A sexual act gratifying to only one participant.
So... this morning I couldn't help but dibble my coffee followed by some eyeservice. For lunch I will libberwort and this will lead me to chantepleure, and finally when I get home I will engage in meupareunia either with someone, or if need be on my own!

My concern for the youth of today: What does it mean to be famous?
In today’s world, particularly within our younger generation, it really does seem as if anyone can become famous, and I can’t help thinking Andy Warhol and his ‘15 minutes of the visionary future’ is surely coming back to haunt us.
Let’s start with reality television shows which encourages them and us, and proceeds to bombard the viewer with sometimes genuine potential, but equally potential useless talent, creating a voyeuristic, judge and jury mass of couch potatoes up and down every household in the world. And so what of the lucky contender/s whom eventually do win the show; are they now famous... and for how long?
Next glamour models, and footballers wives, and anybody’s girlfriend of anyone whose ever been photographed. Every day we are invited to gaze and yearn for the clothes they wear, buy the perfume they endorse, find out where they hang out, and who they are friends with… so are they famous, and if so exactly what for?
How about the music industry: all the singers, and bands; are they the real deal in terms of being famous? At least we know why they are on our radio, and played over and over on MTV.
And then of course there’s Hollywood... every actor, or actress who has ever appeared on film; now they must be ‘proper’ famous people... right?
Or are we advertising a world to our children that is becoming increasingly confused as to the difference between famous and celebrity? As adults, most of us do, or should know the actual reality is not about being famous or a celebrity, but the 'quality' of your fame that determines your status? See Andy was right!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against people seeking, or being famous, but it’s the level of fame that is beginning to annoy me. I want famous people to make me happy, take my mind off things, entertain me, inspire me, etc. However, I don’t want fame becoming almost a career option children of today think is quickly attainable, you can do ‘anything’ to get it, and it‘s an easy way to make money and get your face in the papers.
Some of you may read this and think; hang on… this woman writes a blog on Colin Farrell and yet here she is sounding off about people taking fame to the extreme?! (I'm guessing my daughter probably will). And so the answer to that is: maybe you're right? Maybe I too am being taken in by the whole fame game? Just because I consider him ’a famous person with talent’, and I believe this has been proven by his continued status within Hollywood... doesn't necessarily mean I've not succumbed to the world of fame and all it's starry-eyed dreams and riches... just that I've perhaps not realised?!
After all who am I to decide who should be considered a ’better’ or more ‘suitable’ class of a famous person tha
n another? I cannot have the right over what anybody else thinks, or chooses to do, or say, or admire, but can I not have the right as a human being to express my opinion... even if it is only to myself?!
Oh... I feel so much better now ; - )
WRITTEN ON BEHALF OF EVERY MOTHER WHOM DREADS THE DAY THEIR CHILD COMES HOME AND SAY'S: "I'VE DECIDED I WANT TO BE FAMOUS"!!!!!!!!!

ME, MYSELF & I
If someone suffered from a multiple personality disorder and they threaten to kill themselves... would this be considered a hostage situation?
