Stanmore Tree Hugger – Brark

So today the Herald published the results of the Edinburgh Festival Jokes Competition:

7.  I needed  password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

6.  Hedgehogs – why can’t they just share the hedge ?

5.  I took part in the suntanning Olympics.  I just got bronze

4.  I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.  I tell you, never again.

3.  I saw a documentary about how ships are kept together.  It was rivetting.

2.  Last night me and my girlfriend watched three videos back to back.  Fortunately I was facing the TV.

1.  You know who really gives kids a bad name ?  Posh and Becks.

Yes, I know….. this is beyond the SMH, it was a quote from the Guardian …. who quoted a dozen other sources……. Oh well. not so much a newspaper as a concentrator of other people’s news.

“Spector, famed producer who has worked with talents such as The Beatles, The Ramones, The Teddy Bears, and The Righteous Brothers, had his world turned upside down on February 3rd, 2003. Lana Clarkson was found dead in his home in California. Spector was arrested for her murder but his trial was declared a mistrial. The retrial for Spector began in late 2008. On April 13 2009, Spector was found guilty of 2nd degree murder. He was sentenced to 19 years to life making him eligible for parole in 2028. Considering he is 70 now, I don’t think we will be seeing Spector outside the walls of prison before his life is over.”     http://myfivebest.com/five-famous-people-currently-in-jail/
