Hah – this is soooo funny… Jeremy has posted this actual job application a 17 year old boy submitted at a McDonald’s fast-food “restaurant” in Florida.
Plus: The Amazing eBay Challenge.

David doesn’t like the adverts for the McDonald’s 99p pound saver menu thingy.
I think they’re great. Buy a Cheeseburger for a pound and get a free mini brass plate. In the shape of a penny. Fantastic.
Or buy something else for £1 (I can’t think of anything else at the moment) and get a free token [...]
W00t. I’ve finally found a nice way to incorporate the linkdump posts (“clicky links”) into the main blog. I reckon it looks OK, but I will keep working on it – it still doesn’t look quite how I want it, and no doubt someone will complain that it’s too small or too blue or too something.
I can exclusively reveal on this blog that BBC Radio 4 has invented a time machine.
Yes, that’s right – if you are listening at the right time, you magically get transported back an hour…
It turns out that in Japan there is a limited edition Green Tea-flavoured Kit Kat. How strange.
OK, so I was away on April 1st, but I’ve been catching up… so I thought I’d do a quick round-up of my favourite online (or, in some cases, not) pranks from Friday…
So, back from France…
I’ve been writing blog entries all day (on and off), but nothing is actually ready to post at the moment. Weird. Anyway, it’s all coming soon – expect a huge rush of posts in the next couple of days… I have a list of things to talk about blu-tacked to the side of my monitor!

Off to Paris tomorrow, to see ma grande-mère. I’m looking forward to it… but I won’t be blogging for a while.
Unless I find an internet café in Paris – perfectly possible, I suppose – but I don’t won’t to have to drag my mum around while I’m there. We’ll see… if I blog, I blog. Or, as someone once said, “Que sera, sera”. See what I did there? Linked the blogging back into the French. Cunning, n’est-ce pas?
Heh, came across this article today via Kottke and GoogleNews:
Notorious British graffiti artist Banksy has been decorating New York city galleries with his own distinctive works of art. He managed to hang his work next to classic pieces at four of the city’s most esteemed institutions, the Museum of Modern [...]
…in their spare time, according to the French:
Yes. I do that. Every weekend. Obviously.
(Thanks to Petite for spotting the advert…)
Looks like I’m going to visit my grandmother in Paris next week – we leave on the Wednesday (the 26th ish) and get back on the Sunday (the 3rd – so Wednesday can’t be the 26th. [...]
