Day 162: Much the same everywhere

I heard a radio advert today for a restaurant with a contemporary atmosphere 'unlike no other'. Oh well, no need to bother remembering which one it is then, as apparently they're all the same.

This evening, this grammatical blunder was completely overshadowed by a philosophical inconsistency. We switched on the TV after the girls were in bed and saw a report on Kelly Clarkson who has revealed that at high school she struggled briefly with bulimia but recovered quickly and now says she will never fall into that trap again. So far so good. It gets better. She said that 'of course' she is bigger than some of the stick-thin celebrities she is photographed near at red-carpet events but she thinks it's important for people to see 'normality'. Great. Then we return to the studio to encouraging noises from the (admittedly stick-thin) young female presenter. Fantastic. Cut to the co-presenter (this is the next story - really). Jessica Simpson has 'lost' both her celebrity boyfriend and 25 lbs. Cue picture of said extremely slim celebrity. What has the presenter got to say about that? 'She looks great!' All hope of normality breaking into celebrity-culture as anything but a weird side-line is gone again. Sigh.

Anyway, here are another couple of pictures from yesterday. We all rode the train around the other rides. Here's everyone except me waiting for it to get under way.
