I don't know how to start this.
You know how sometimes you wish you had a tail? Not a (possibly) useful monkey tail, but one a bit like a dog, to wag and stuff? No, me neither, but evidently someone thinks people do.
Soon, you'll be able to buy and wear a tail that is controlled by your brain, reflecting your mood. Just like a dog. Only in Japan (as far as I can tell, it's for real).
I'd totally forgotten about Michael Palin's travels. I absolutely loved them all. He's got a voice that just suits it all perfectly - a bit like Attenborough and animals or nature. I hadn't forgotten about Karl Pilkington though. Who could? The following exchange is after Michael asks about the photo of Karl on the cover of his book.
"What does your partner, or wife, think of that, is it glamorous?
"She's sort of, a bit, does that have to be the cover? But you know, we've all changed. I mean, I know me body's not what it was when I first met her, but you know, her's isn't either."
Brilliant.
I have to admit that this looks pretty good. It reminds me a lot of the Windows Phone, not that that's a bad thing at all. I actually wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people sign up. I did (although the thought of another social profile makes my head hurt).
