The language used isn't lost on me either. Disgraceful.

Inbox Heists
Foodstinct is where brain meets braun - a foodie's guide on how to freestyle in the kitchen.
Passed out Guy, joining the ranks of moshzilla in the giffing hall of fame and easily the funniest thing I've read in months.
London street art gets even more inventive, with the appearance of the Decapitator. Old St, Shoreditch High Street.
Old codgers finally get a taste of the social networking action with the retiree aimed release of PensionBook.
Shasta Rae? Stryder Denver? Chastity, Blaize, Flower? Get the low down on whether those 'unique' baby names of yours are merely latent cruelty tactics in Baby's named a bad bad thing.
You know how you're always going on about wanting to name a whale? Well bug me no more, as Greenpeace get all anthropomorphic on yo' ass. Before you vote, have a guess which name has already cornered 63% of the vote.
Totally Craig Dack tries his hand at scambaiting.
Batleb and Robin eat kebabs and battle the forces of evil as only they know how. Fancy someone having a crack at done-to-death wog humour and actually being funny.
Word of mouth is travelling fast about a new restaurant in London, and is quickly getting a reputation… for being awful: Devo. Definitely my next date location.
'Strap in, shut up, and hold on' recommends Johnny Virgil on his blog before unleashing the force - a flashback to a JC Pennys Catalog from 1977. If this hasn't reached your inbox yet, your friends are working too much.
Cleverly invented super heroes of dubious repute duke it out in The Superest.
Ever longed to see to lounges gettin' it on? Me neither, which is why this site is so confusing, and prompted Will to pen this.

Pretending to Read
RIGHT NOW:
Shantaram (Gregory David Roberts)
Hyperion (Dan Simmons)
30 Jan - As Johnny hastily defends, Hyperion is not Sci Fi - it's fashionably challenged literature. I had a rather embarrassing incident trying to explain it's premise to a rather cute med student who was 'lancing' my infected finger. In essence I came across as a science fiction nerd who does unclean things with his digits. Ah charm, I knew thee well. Anyway the book is good. If you can handle not impressing med students.
Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez)
25 Dec - As Eleanor observed, the characters Marquez paints seem realer than reality. Elegant, magical insight, if a little distant and hard to lose yourself in. Now eager to attempt 100 Years of Solitude.
The Power of One (Bryce Courtney)
28 Oct - Felt I needed to re-read one of my favourite books of all time. What hurt this time around is that Hymie annoyed me. May need to read Tandia now to get the feeling back.
Carter Beats the Devil (Glen David Gold)
30 Sep - Quit. Accidentally read a review and realised I was reading what amounted to shit.
Such a Long Journey (Rohinton Mistry)
20 Oct - I preferred this one to 'A fine balance'. Brilliantly written and paced, he's an author that has taught me so much Indian culture, history, and family life.
31 Songs (Nick Horby)
5 Oct - One of my favourite authors. If you don't find some new music while reading this, then you're obviously listening to Brittany.
Me Talk Pretty One Day (David Sedaris)
30 Sept - Flew through this. A great read from a great writer. Had me laughing loudly in the train and embarrassing myself. A birthday gift from May, who I thank for introducing me to Sedaris.
Six Not So Easy Pieces (Richard P. Feynman)
25 Sept - He's not kidding. A tough read on the physical world.
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (Richard P. Feynman)
15 Sept - Great. Feynman, despite being involved with the Manhattan Project, still comes across as being playful and wise. A Recommendation from my dear friend Frances, who I met in Edinburgh.
How to Get Rich (Felix Dennis)
06 Sept - Don't ask what I was thinking at the time, but actually a really really good read. Dennis is a poet, and he knows it.
Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid (Bill Bryson)
03 Sept - Loved it. The imagery of the Dad hurting himself during the lake dive had me in stitches.
A Child of the Jago (Arthur Morrison)
16 Aug - More London Slums. Interesting. Old. Lots of Fighting.
Salaam Brick Lane (Tarquin Hall)
01 Aug - Ruled. Hilarious prose and riveting style. Must try to find his Elephant one.
The Damage Done (Warren Fellows)
23 July - The obligatory Thailand read. Poorly written but stunningly engaging.
The Time Travellers Wife (Audrey Niffenegger)
13 July - One of my all time top 5. Escapist and hopelessly romanticised, but unavoidably endearing. Read. It.
