Firstly, I've not had holiday for a whole year, yes shocking. I had in excess of 3 weeks holiday, so it was time to 'use it or loose it'. I think I nearly killed my manager one on December morning..."er, boss I need to take 3 weeks holiday, I don't have any more of the year to take it in..."

I moved homes from my flat on Pelham road which involved the usual, which I'm getting pretty good at now - end of tenancy professional cleaning, packing things into boxes and coordinating the logistics of moving it all. Unfortunately, all this coincided with a scheduled Go-kart afternoon at work. I had to cancel it. They reallocated my spot so that's ok and to be very honest, this close to Christmas, I wanted stuff done with my flat. Not only that but I'd still have to get the inventory and condition of the flat checked with the estate agents. So that got done.

I was told that the next week, there would be penguins on show in place of the snow boarding simulator I had just fallen off and made a fool of myself on. They would represent the plight of the Penguins and hope to make people raise money and make them aware of the Penguins. Made me wonder.

Did they capture those penguins in the arctic? Did they bring them thousands of miles, over many seas, away from their homelands and straight into London? That would seem rather unsatisfactory and somewhat cruel. Perhaps they are locally bred penguins, reared perhaps in London Zoo or similar.

If you are sitting next to a window in an airplane and it blows out, it's a very high possibility that you aren't wearing a seatbelt, that you'd be sucked out of the airplane. That to my mind is also probably one good reason to always wear your seatbelt.

That said, say you did get sucked out the airplane and made it outside. Being thousands of thousands of meters above the earth - when would you die? Die you will but is it being sucked out or hitting the plane's wings or in the even falling to the ground? If you survived being sucked out, missed the wings and hadn't died yet, it'd probably be a skydive down to earth, where surely on impact you'd die.
