Apologies for the radio silence of late, since becoming freelance in my advertising/social media professional, starting Joe Morgan Photography and spending more & more time on Hooked on Horses magazine, I have had little time to myself, let alone to blog. However, for those of you who have read my blog before, you’ll know I love a good old random Metro Weird story, especially if they feature animals!
I challenge any Physics grad to give me their views on the following…
Number 19 on my life’s to-do list has just become a reality! (yes I actually have a list, I will blog about it one day)
Not once in my life have I EVER won anything! Actually, I lie, I won £5 at a horse racing night at my local football club when I was 12.. i was also the bookie - go figure! Read the rest of this entry »
As quickly as my day was going from bad to worse after locking myself out the house, the metro made my Friday with yet another weird & wonderful story. This week its the story of a bear that came back to earth with a bump after it got stuck up a pine tree while foraging for food.
Police used a tranquiliser gun to stun the two-year-old California black bear, which tumbled more than 15ft into the front garden of a house outside Los Angeles.
But the fall was softened by a tarpaulin that caught the bewildered 100lb cub – nicknamed ‘Yogi’ by onlookers – and it was bundled back into the wild before the effects of the knockout drug wore off.

May I start by saying that some of you are not going to like this post and some of you will no doubt sit behind your computer screen and stress your dismay to my opinions only to then share your comments with all your tweeters and facebook “friends” and so on and so forth. I am just having a Wednesday morning rant after my nightmare tube journey and pouring orange juice on my Jordan’s Country Crisp!
A quick note to all those love sick puppies out there, I am afraid this will not work on human females, so please put your slugs away! Moving on, the rather er.. beautiful creature below is in fact a yellow-green ibycus rachelae, otherwise known as a slug! Not just any slug though, oh noooo quite the opposite infact. This little love beast seems to be a bit of a ninja, with the ability to fire ‘love darts’ to potential mates. Sounds like Rohypnol to me, but hey I am not one to judge. He is one of dozens of new species recently discovered in a stretch of ‘irreplaceable’ rain forest in Borneo. Yes, you have heard all of this right, this is a post about a slug, who date rapes other slugs, in a rain-forest, in Borneo…. I’ll get my coat.

Music has always been a love of mine, even though I never seem to talk about it you can always find me on iTunes and other music website looking for new talent to listen to. My recent “daydream to work” play-lists have consisted of Ingrid Michaelson, Tristan Prettyman, Brooke Fraser & Amy Macdonald to name but a few. So I was delighted to find a tweet on Twitter this morning by Katy Beale linking to an article listing 10 New women in music worth checking out in which a found the delightful voice of Diane Burch. I am yet to listen to the rest of the album but this happy-go-lucky song called Valentino has got me hooked. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did
//EDIT – And here is another recommendation (thanks again @katybeale) check out the wonderful Alela Diane
This video had me in hysterics this morning on the tube to work, much to the dismay of the other commuters. It needs no introduction, its just pure genius! Here is the one and only, Piano Chat Improv guy:
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
