Lee called me up today worried that I was stalking him again because on Andys site, “Lee Hollingdale MQ” had been searched for multiple times. Nope, it wasn’t me – I got a bit bored of stalking Lee so I’ve moved onto some one else ;o)

After the phone call, I thought I’d check my blog stats to see which google search had returned my site and these are the results:

- big busted grannys

- attractive grannys

- granny big boob

- Andrew Hollingdale

What is this obsession with grannys!! Maybe there is a huge demand in the market for granny sites and this could be a big money making opportunity for me…

Andrew – looks like you might be being stalked as well unless you were typing your name in google to see how famous you are ;o)

Why do American insist on calling public toilets bathrooms or restrooms when they are neither!

So far, I have never seen a bath in a public toilet (although I have seen some showers in the public toilets in France, but the French are a bit weird) and I defiantly don’t go into a toilet to have a rest. It’s a case of doing your business and then getting out again to have a chat/bitch with your girlfriend by the sinks. I wish Amercians would stop being difficult and just call it what it is… A TOILET!

As a child, my parents used to always tease me on how accident prone I was. If anything was going to be broken, 9 times out of 10 it was me who did it. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have grown out of my accident proneness. People give me their computer programs to use and I always seem to break them (but not on purpose!), I’ve fallen over outside Grand Central station TWICE and I’ve smashed my much loved bottle of Branston pickle which took me ages to find in NY. All that in just a few weeks!

I’m starting to wonder if I should invest in a roll of bubble wrap to cover myself in to keep me and the rest of the world safe. Plus I have the bonus of when I get bored, I can pop the bubbles… hours of fun!

I was looking at my blog stats and someone came to my site after searching for “big busted granny”. First this made me laugh and then I started to think about it a little too much…

Do grannys still have a bust? I always though that once you reached 60, they fell to your knees and were never to be seen again.

Why would anyone be interested in seeing a granny’s bust? Surely a fit 20 year olds bust is more attractive? But i guess men are a bit strange so maybe there are guys out there who like granny’s.

Does this mean my blog is now a porn site?

Andy – Every time I search for something Message Broker related in google, you’re blog comes up within the top 5. How did you manage that!? You’re often higher than IBM!

I have been suffering with bloggers block the last few weeks, I can’t seem to think of anything interesting to write on here. I think I’m trying a little to hard so expect the next few posts to reflect my spaghetti mind filled with ramblings, moans and fluffy stuff.

Besides lots of drinking with work colleague and training to be a consultant, I haven’t really done much lately. I found that my new favourite drink is Sake, a really nice Japanese drink and Sushi is actually yummy even though its raw.

Its great being able to try foods and drinks from different cultures, back in Salisbury unless you want a curry (there much be at least 30 Indian restaurants in the small city) there is very little choice. When I get back to the UK, i will have to explore London more there must be some good restaurants around with authentic food from other cultures?

My tip of the week – try Tofu. I had never eating it before because I used to think it was just for vegetarians and wasn’t as good as meat but I’ve had it a few times while in NY and I have fallen in love with it.

Today on Fox 5 news there was the following breaking story:

“Weeing in the shower can help prevent and cure athletes foot”

This is not a joke!!

I have added some new photos to Flickr of the trip Sam and I had to the pier near Brooklyn bridge.

We went to a shopping center next to a pirate ship museum (well I thought they were pirate ships!) and just outside there was a free concert. So we listened to some music, had an American hotdog (which was disgusting) and relaxed by the water front.

I was told by someone that the people on stage were the New York Doll. Has anyone heard of them before? I didn’t think much of there music, it was a bit alternative and there was too much shouting. They all looked like they were hitting their 50’s/60’s yet were wearing the tightest trousers ever, nearly made me vomit my hotdog up.

Does anyone have any advice on how to take photos at night?

I tried to take some photos of Little Italy and China Town last night but all the photos I took are crap!

I don’t understand – do you have the flash on because there’s not enough light or off so they flash doesn’t show up in your photo? Also, why do most of my pictures come out blurred at night even though they shouldn’t be burred?

I have added the best of the worse photos to my Flickr account.

Yesterday evening I was fed up with sitting in my apartment so I jumped on the tube to China town and Little Italy. I had a great time walking around the shops and restaurants.

Little Italy is a street just off China Town yet there was a huge difference in the two areas. I found China town to be an slightly poorer area with lots of people on the streets rummaging through all the rubbish and the shops were selling cheap tourist tat. I didn’t find any of restaurants very welcoming, they looked like they were just for locals.

Little Italy was a complete contrast. I felt like the people who lived and work there are proud of their area and want to invite people in to try their culture. The streets were very clean, most of the restaurants had seating outside and they all looked welcoming. Even the Italian people advertising the restaurants were friendly and not pushy (unlike a lot of places in New York). The only big downside for me was the number of cigars! There were cigar shops everywhere you looked and as a result, there were loads of men smoking them.
