Well, this morning I interrupted my work translating Krapp's Last Tape from French to Klingon (thanks for the input, MBA) to synthesize animal protein in my lab. Afterwards, I broke for a light brunch and sex with Jennifer Connelly in a hot tub while discussing the irregular movements of explosive sound.

What's everyone else been up to?

I spent all morning splitting the atom. Had a brief lunch with David Beckham as he needed my advise on how to handle his marriage, and then spent the afternoon leading negotiations with heads of state for world peace. This evening im going to chill out with some light entertainment and have a farting competition!

and have a farting competition!

Here's hoping you make it to the quarterfinals. Remember, this is the time of year that all the preseason conditioning pays off. The important thing is to stay within yourself and take it one fart at a time.

BWAP: I am stocking up on cabbage sprouts and fizzy drinks as I post!

Love your avatar by the way! We are watching all the re-runs of Lost in space at the moment and reliving our childhood! I bought my partner a signed colour photo of Dr Smith and Will Robinson which has pride of place on the wall!

Gilli, I can't stress this enough...lay off the fiber. I've seen so many people disqualified in these competitions cuz they tested positive for bran, it's such a shame after all that hard work they put in. Plus it can be a bit messy when you don't intend it to be...

I wasn`t able to see any tv this past week - long story - so I`ve just spent the day watching 6 hours of tape ; Sopranos , Without A Trace ( 2 episodes ) , 24 , Law and Order - Criminal Intent and West Wing.

And now I`m going to see Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S McNamara at the Irish Film Institute.

And yes - farting happened and may well happen again.

A UK farting competition eh? Well I probably wouldn't stand a chance anyway. I mean we have beans over here but there you have those pies made of kidneys and other animal intrails and organs. That has got to reeeeek.

Is there a way I could wager on it thought ?

If flatulence takes your fancy, then Irish pubs are the place to be these days. Since the smoke ban all kinds of unpleasant odours have become eye-wateringly obvious, extreme flatulence being the chief culprit. At the Joy Zipper gig in Eamann Doran's last Sunday they tried to offset this by using dry ice. 2nd last song the dry ice let up and I was nearly floored by a truly superb waft. A stomach-turning, silent-but-deadly masterpiece. Heaven.
