Lang May Ye'er Lum Reek in 2009

With all the gloom and doom as we head into 2009, just remember there is always Irn Bru.

Happy Hogmanay to everyone regardless of age, sex, religion, mothers maiden name, sports team followed, favourite breakfast cereal and hopes for the future. As Big Rab , Irn Bru advert connoisseur may say "Lang May Yer Lum Reek" or to put it in another way a Scottish variety of good luck, favoured by my dad.  "May a moose ne'er leave yer meal poke wi' a tear in its een."

Still getting over an Abba special on television tonight before the fireworks from Sydney. Those guys are in their sixties or close to it now. They were more popular in Australia than the Beatles. What gives?  

Off to bed now. We'll leave the celebrating to the others. The nice man on the television recommended that we turn on the washing machine to calm our dog during fireworks. The first one of the evening just went off. Better go and do that. 

Contraception with a Sugar Buzz?

Alternate Night After Pill?

I always wondered why Coca Cola was so popular in the Phillippines when I lived there. So many kids, so little time.

The Harvard research team found that Coca-Cola was only able to immobilize only 30 percent of the sperms within an hour. Ironically coca-cola douches increase the forward velocity of healthy sperm by almost 18 cm/hour, actually increasing the chances of striking a baby using the method.

I love the bit about the healthy sperms getting a sugar buzz and heading down town. Survival of the fittest I suppose. Good to know that scientists have money to burn on this kind of important social and medical research.

Perhaps they should check out spermicidal capabilities of Irn Bru while they are at it. Maybe there is an export market.

Imagine some of the advertising campaigns for Pepsi and the like in some of those countries where it is used for alternative purposes.

You can blame @leoc and @facibus for Todays Medical Report.

Irn Bru Goes Goth in Blackpool

Let's all go on a Summer Holiday.

I really liked the Undertones when I was a teenager. I saw them live with hundreds of other sweaty, pogoing youths at St Andrews University in the late 70s. Non stop action. Can't quite marry them with Goth Culture.

They must be trying to tackle the teenage alco pops and guarana and caffeine laced energy drinks market. What's wrong with some liquid girders to spice up your life?

Irn Bru Feel Phenomenal. What a tag line.

Thanks Duncans TV Adland

Overheated Scotsman at New Year

This makes me all nostalgic as we head into 2007. It has everything, optimism, winter, Scottishness, a connection with my kids through the Raymond Briggs books, Irn Bru.... (just joking). It is very disconcerting for average Scots to head into New Year when the temperature is around 30 degrees at midnight (and I am not talking about fahrenheit). I take solace in the fact that we had hailstones yesterday.

This is more the way I remember it.

Happy New Year Everybody.
