Linked everywhere and in incredibly poor taste – but bring it on anyway! The Gulf War Drinking Game.

The BBC seem to have finally got a clue about the whole concept of blogging (in the sense of a web page that is regularly updated and arranged in a chronological order, just to make things clear for the pedants) and created a single bookmarkable address for the war reporters’ log. It can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/reporters, which strikes me as a very simple, blogger-friendly address – deliberately so, I suspect, judging by the unusual phrase that has appeared at the top of the log:

For those of you (and there seem to be plenty) hungry for more pictures of Aishwarya Rai, then I suggest you visit aishwarya-rai.com and get your fill, as it were.

I keep seeing people wearing the same style of jacket as my pimptastic jacket. Does the world need that many pimps?

For Weebl fans, a Chris the Ninja Pirate game.

To prove that Aishwarya Rai has normal lips and teeth, here’s another pretty picture:

Work is going very well today. How rare. It’ll never last.
Meanwhile, the BBC does a feature on the famous Baghdad blog, as the Guardian has also done. If I was the author of this site, I’d be laying pretty low by now.

Excellent dinner last night at W2 in the company of Karen from California. Lots of gossip started in the bar at the sight of me entertaining an attractive lady, but dispelled (I hope!) when I pointed out the rather large lump of carbon on her finger.
I’m looking forward to getting back out to California already. I should be going there again in July.

The good thing about Kenny is that you can take a friendly sideswipe at him, and he doesn’t take offence. However, in spite of that, his is still not the best site for spandex opinions. That may be a good thing.
Of course, I’ll now expect him to exact revenge on me by blogging the movements of the two girls who live across the street from me, although he’d have to come round to my place to spy on them effectively.
Meanwhile, I’ve spent the morning in an important meeting, after which I found that I’ve been given the task of entertaining a transatlantic visitor this evening with no warning at all. Thankfully, I’ve been able to improvise some original entertainment at a moment’s notice – yup, drinks and food at W2. Let it never be said that I’m not innovative and can’t think on my feet.

I’m not usually one to get excited about celebrity women as some other bloggers do (no names mentioned, Kenny), but I do hope we get to see more of Aishwarya Rai, former Miss World and extremely beautiful and successful Indian actress. She’s just about to star in her first British film, Bride and Prejudice, which takes Jane Austen’s Bennetts and transforms them into a modern Indian family – which I reckon could be somewhat amusing.
