i've been trying to find a book from 1927 for an essay i'm writing.
eventually found a review of it written in 1928 which summarises:

'the book is written with spirit and zest. one or two errors of
diction have crept in. on p.8 the word 'obstreperous' is used in the
sense of refractory, and on p.153 'flaunted' should obviously have
been 'flouted'.'

obviously. god i'm glad we have television nowadays.

i've found a new legend. you may recognise him from such tv programmes as worlds wildest police chases.

admittedly, it's a recent obsession but i've selected my favourites from youtube. first, an introduction if you don't know him. second, john bunnell explaining the most important thing you need when you 'roll' onto a crime scene. and finally, (and possibly his finest work) his over-the-top commentary about a really bland incident.

plus some of his quotes are just out of this world, such as 'these guys paid with their lives... in jail!' and 'crash test dummies volunteer their lives so we can be safer on the roads.'

but remember people, 'violence... it can happen to us, at any time, at any place'

if beckham says its not for the money, why not settle for something
less than the world's biggest football contract?

probably the coolest rabbit i've ever seen.

giant rabbits are definately making it into the animal top 5.

hah! look at this new ford.

a groundbreaking boxy, flat, unattractive design - the americans are gonna love it.

no? well just have a look at this, it isn't a joke.

do you know what, in all honesty, i never knew the university had a library. i better get myself along and see what it looks like and how it works.

that would make my final year a lot easier.

just found this page, which has (somehow) catalogued the mug shots of
celebrities after they've been arrested.

r kelly, nicole richie, michael jackson, 50 cent, bill gates...they're
all there.
