cross with golf and reporters

The whizzy Will has directed me to golf balls. The whole link thing failed to work, so if you tried before, please try again. I've now spent five minutes when I should be sleeping trying to work out how the screaming hell I get the url of this webpage in front of the one that should be coming up and linking to. Which should be www.nike.com/nikegolf/juiceball. There. Let's see if the stupid machine can work out how to screw that one up...

If you've seen this already, don't you agree it's fascinating? If not - the jello (babelfish: jelly) is one of my personal favourites. And the cake must be solid icing from at least one inch up.

Then there's the iBelieve - a lanyard for the top of your shuffle (does anyone have one any more; they're soooo last year). So now you can attach the cross to yourself, rather than yourself to the cross, a la Madonna.

And, about crosses, what's the deal with Fiona Bruce? It appears the Beeb, like BA, got a bit hot and sweaty about religious jewellery being worn by staff, and has now backed down and permitted religious jewellery so long as it's not too blingy. However, if you look at the picture accompanying this article, which showed the "crucifix", you'll see it's not actually a crucifix. It doesn't have an image of Jesus on it. I read an interview with Fiona earlier this week where she said it was a "jack" - one of those things you'd play games with as a child.

I wish reporters would get it right. The whole crucifix/ cross thing should be a relatively easy distinction. Similarly, this person in Ipswich who is killing women all of whom share a line of work. He's not a Ripper; he doesn't use a knife. He's a strangler. And, he's not a serial killer - he appears to be a spree killer. If he has a break, gets on with life, and continues to do it over a long period of time, whilst living a normal (yes, I'm not sure how one lives a normal life which involves murder - I think the definition indicates a serial killer carries on going to work/ poker nights/ the gym as per usual, and all the while killing people who share certain characteristics) life, *then* he's a serial killer.

When I say "he" in the above paragraph, the term is used as gender neutral.
