Happy Hump Day

It is midweek for most of you peeps out there but unfortunately for me, it is my Monday; or it will be in a few hours.

I've had a good couple of nights off and got some creative stuff taken care of.

I also added to the forum earlier. They say let sleeping dogs lie... so I did lol

I am gonna kick off today with some SWC news.

The 2nd Annual Underworld Racing on Antar 4 is underway. The race is due to

end on Day 17.

If you are looking for some UFC action, The UFC 4 event is quickly approaching.

The main event will feature Ozzy Vazul v. Galia Winters...with 2 undercard

fights including Neva Rath v. Sinya Ani, and Vorian Hadal v. Jido Kalradia.

UFC 4 will take place Y22D44.

A few days ago we were discussing these appearing/disappearing monoliths. Well, it turns out there are more popping up all the time. USA, Germany and the UK (including the Isle of Wight), we have already reported on but now there have been some in the Netherlands, Belgium, Columbia, Romania & Spain.

One guy, Tom Dunford, 29, from Fishbourne, West Sussex, has taken credit for the Isle of Wight structure and told the BBC that he created it "purely for fun".

Similarly, an anonymous collective called The Most Famous Artist has taken credit for the monoliths in Utah and California.

It posted an image of the Utah monolith on Instagram, with a price tag of $45,000 (£34,000)

I might have known it would all be BS. Hoaxes and copy cats. Maybe these people should get a job and make a useful contribution to society.

Speaking of hoaxes, take a gander at this pic. Do you see it?

The Reddit user who captured this image said he has been left so terrified he is now looking for somewhere to live.

When one of his peers suggested it was a prank by one of his friends, he claimed he was home alone, stating, '"Two of my flatmates were at work and the other was out at a friend at the time.'

He had initially heard 'taps and noises' from his kitchen so he took a photo.

He was quoted as saying, "It was kind of like the sound of feet shuffling around or clothes rubbing against each other."

Look at the larger version and you might understand why he wants to move out.

Creepy!

This next story is one close to my heart and ever since I moved over the pond, many, many people have heard me saying ' You can' open ANYTHING in America'. It's true. The boxes are Gorilla glued shut. Those tough plastics packages that require scissors to get into. Then when you go to get scissors you realise it is a new pair and the packaging is the same as the other damn thing you are trying to open. Anyway, I digress

A study has found that the average person will spend the equivalent of 43 days of their life-time struggling to open troublesome packaging. The survey claimed we spend 19 minutes a week trying to get into tricky packaging which is secured with too much tape, cable ties or even items which are screwed into place. Vacuum-packed plastic wrap and stuck jars are also among the encasements many find themselves struggling to open. At least it is not just me.

This also infuriates me (Having one of those days I guess lol)

The show "Jersey Shore" aired from December 3, 2009 - December 20, 2012 (Oh the misery)

We've gone 8 years without having to watch that stupidity on tv, but the cast feels it has to stay relevant by staying in the news. Last week we reported about Snooki and Deena's legal problems after they are being sued by a meatball company...Now, not to be outdone...Mike "the situation" Sorrentino has apparently pissed off his probation officer. She's asking the judge to slap him on the wrist for falling way behind on completing his community service hours.

Sources report that Sorrentino has completed only 18 of the 500 hours of community service he was ordered to complete as part of his tax evasion sentence. The probation officer says she's continually talked to Mike about where he can volunteer in his community ... like at Toys for Tots, his church and several food banks, but so far he's only done 18 hours since his release from prison in 2019.

The probation officer told it to the judge ... who's now issuing Mike a

written warning.

I'd send the smarmy git back to prison.

SAD NEWS

Chuck Yeager, the pilot known as "the fastest man alive" for being first to break the sound barrier, has died.

Chuck's wife, Victoria, says he passed Monday night after 'an incredible life well lived.' She says he will be known as "America’s greatest Pilot, and a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever."

According to John Nicoletti, Yeager's friend and ground crew chief, Chuck had several health challenges in recent years and had a fall that led to further complications. Nicoletti says he died at an L.A. hospital, although he lived in Northern California. He was 97.

Madonna gets tattooed for the first time at age 62...The singer has had the

initials of her six children — Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, and twins

Stella and Estere — tattooed on her wrist in black ink in a vintage typewriter-style font.

Interesting, I'd have had her pegged to get "blah blah blah, I'm a dirty tramp" instead...but wow..what a great mother.

WACKY-BUT-TRUE:

MYSTERY MAN DIRECTS TRAFFIC WITH FROZEN PEAS

Police in Italy were called about a man who was standing in the middle of the busy road directing traffic. But when they arrived the man had left the area and couldn’t be located. Witnesses say the man was directing traffic with a bag of frozen peas. Some things you just can't make up. Maybe he thought he was keeping the peas (get it?) 😂

So here is another odd one and I am intrigued as to what you think of it. This is the news that a woman so 'allergic to Christmas' that festivities could 'leave her blind'.

Okay, so what's going on with her? you ask.

According to the news story 'Victoria Osborne, 47, suffers from such extreme allergic reactions at this time of year she could go blind. She cannot be near artificial trees, decorations, wrapping paper and scented candles and is also crippled with chronic migraines, triggered by bright flashing lights, such as dazzling Christmas displays.

The mum-of-one has a severe allergy to formaldehyde, which is used to preserve dead bodies but also found in artificial trees, ornaments, Christmas crackers, perfumes, and cleaning products and exposure causes her eyes to burn like “rings of fire”.

There is more heart-wrenching information about her condition, which some of the commentators on the pot are far from sympathetic about. Probably because of these...

Seriously ?!?!?! If you don't wanna do Christmas just say so.

Love always x
