That 4.41 on a Friday Feeling Is Upon Us

As the Your Life team gently wind down from doing nothing, we pause to reflect on our various writers’ contributions over the last week.

Where else will you find an explosive combination of this and that? Does any other blog provide you with this eye popping level of nothing-in-particular? Is there any other news source that twists the truth quite as hardly-at-all as Your Life?

Harry Patch and Henry Allingham

Can you believe that Henry Allingham was born in 1896? The recently passed away World War One veteran comfortably spanned the entire 20th Century, as did Harry Patch.

Swine Flu Death Toll Reaches 30… The End Is Neigh!!

The swine flu death toll hit 30. Oh yea Lord above have mercy on our collective ass during this period of vengeful pestilence. Only the penitent man will pass – we have been forsaken and should now crack each other’s heads open and feast off the goo we find within. In case you couldn’t tell – I was being sarcastic.
Just before we start ramming steaks into each other’s hearts and looting churches for large crucifixes perhaps we should look at the real viral pandemic; the scare mongering media and their carcinogenic manipulations.

Wales Gets Trains

Ok, they’ve had them for a while – although it might surprise some. The big news today is that the government is going to spend 1 billion pounds on electrifying the railway line between Swansea and London.
