As funny as toothache....

WARNING!!!!!  THIS IS RANTY POST

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can't turn anywhere just now but I come across posters and reviews for this...

I'm sure he is perfectly nice man, but the films of Rowan Atkinson make me want to scream. And no! that's not scream with laughter. But sceam with pain and perhaps puzzlement.

I don't understand.

Why do people think this is funny?

I once spent an entire flight to the USA , where if felt as though the whole plane was shaking with laughter to a Mr Bean movie.

It was one of the worst plane rides ever.

If I was being dramatic (me???) then I would say toothache was funnier.

Except that's not true.

Nothing hurts more than toothache.

And I should know. I have toothache right now.

My whole head hurts and has been hurting for two days. To make matters worse when I finally plucked up the courage to call the dentist, I can't get through.

Any suggestions to stop the pain would be very very very gratefully received.

*whimper*

Carry My Books

There are many which are borderline bad taste. A little bit too cheesy to be ironic, but too cute to be entirely dismissed. Things which you just need a good sense of humour to wear.

We all know about my adoration for bags. I'm always looking for something a little different for when I feel like veering off my usual black and slouchy path. That may me a neon satchel or a patchwork doctors bag.

Or it might be a book bag...

Designers Alex Pogrebnojus and Vida Simanaviciute, creators of A+V, have transformed famous literatural tomes into custom-made suede leather totes. Literal masterpieces by Sartre, Pushkin, Tolstoy, Karl Marx, Chekhov, and even the Bible, have been transformed into bags. It's so bad it's definitely very good.

These are the sort of bags you may very well end up wanting to collect, somewhat bizarrely. Of course, I'm now trying to think of what books I'd like turned into a bag....

It really shouldn't work. At all. But carrying around the Bible in bag form is, quite frankly, bloody marvelous. And I would carry it in a heartbeat. And I'm pretty sure God did not say Thou Shall Not Carry the Good Book In The Form Of A Handbag. So if the big man says it's ok, it's ok.

hand on my heart...

Growing up I was always fascinated by the Claddagh ring by friend Lorraine wore.

We knew it was symbolic, but we were never sure exactly what it meant.

The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a token of friendship, love, or marriage. The design and customs associated with it originated in the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, located just outside the city of Galway.
The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).
Claddagh rings may be used as friendship or relationship rings depending on the intention of wearer and, in the case of a gift, of the giver. There are many traditionally accepted ways of wearing the ring which may signal someone's relationship status which include -

1. When worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing to the fingertip, the wearer is free of any attachment.

2. On the same finger but the other way round, with the heart pointing away from the fingertip, it suggests someone is romantically involved.

Now The symbolic Claddagh has redesigned by Kingdom favourites Tatty Devine...

 They have made the traditional token in matt gold perspex for contemporary courtship. A ruby red heart is topped with a twinkling crown. All the pieces are embellished with sparkling red gems and studded with Swarovski crystals. Oh, and because you're a modern lady, you don't have to wait for an Irish chap to buy these for you, either.

Ring £24.00

 

Large Necklace £48.00 

Earrings £39.00

But if there are any generous long haired irish boys reading this, then I'll have one of everything thank you...
