We’re biased, of course, as this blog is from Mrs Wellthisiswhatithink, but it’s a really interesting article about an utterly beautiful product and we thought it was well worth sharing.
Enjoy!

Includes links to classes where you can come along and learn to work with the glass yourself. Such fun 🙂
Really love this blog from Mrs Wellthisiswhatithink (aka Jenie Yolland) on the classes she runs in Melbourne, Australia teaching people to express themselves and learn a new skill by making their own art glass plates and platters.
Article on Jenie’s classes – click here and enjoy a good read!
If you’re heading to Melbourne soon, or you live here, I warmly recommend them. Cheap as chips, and she spreads such joy!

Ouch. There will be a few of these, no doubt, as the UK election progresses to its climax next month.
One has to feel a little for politicians and their minders, sometimes. Even when they are about as far across the political divide from ourselves as it is possible to be.
Not only do they have to watch what they say, but as Nigel “UKIP” Farage discovers here, they even have to watch the signs they are walking next to as well.
Cue some poor media adviser flack being sacked for not predicting the photo, one suspects, and a bonus from the media proprietor to the photo-journalist who we bet stood there for a while to get the shot.
OK, yes, it’s utterly trivial, but it’s fun. And it’s Friday.
Perhaps more worryingly for Farage and his party, and the Tories, both of which constantly rail about the cost to the National Health Service of “health tourists” chewing up NHS resources in Britain, stats have just been released showing that holidaying Brits cost five times as much to Spain, Italy, France etc etc as incoming tourists cost the Brits.
The gap is largest in the cases of Austria and Germany. Austria’s health service spent 43 times more – £5.6m – on treating British travellers than the NHS did on those from Austria – £130,000. Germany, which is visited by 2 million Britons every year, had to pay 34 times more than the NHS – £22m compared to £643,000. Still, they’ve both got pots of money, so who cares, eh?
One of the joys of following an election is when a few facts interpolate themselves into the bullshit.
Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe arrives in Pretoria, South Africa Tuesday, April 7, 2015 for a state visit to the country. Mugabe will meet with South African president Jacob Zuma – photo AP.
We will bring more to you as we go along.
Meanwhile, on the same theme, we sincerely hope the photographer who snapped this shot of Zimbabwean tyrant Robert Mugabe in South Africa has already fled to somewhere safe, as this photo has gone viral worldwide, and the afro-fascist doesn’t have a reputation for a very vibrant sense of humour.
We only hope they’re ready for stiff competition.
Um.
When local water works closed streets to traffic, a pub sensibly decided to let customers know it was still open for business.
However, as this hilarious picture shows, it did not go exactly to plan.
As reported by the West Briton, its creator did not leave adequate space between the words ‘pen’ and ‘is’.
The sign has since been taken down from the pub, which is named after the local crown court. Nice looking spot for a pint, too.

Which one would you prefer, Sir? Left or right?
Well, that’s the lad’s night in sorted, then. And all for under 25 quid.
We kew Essex girls were good value, but this is ridiculous.
OK, so the take away business was getting more competitive, but sheesh. Strippers delivering your pizza? Really? (Come to think of it, that reminds us of a 1970s, er, ” movie” title.)
And hey – it’s not like a silly little SMS sent from an outlet in Southend is going to end up taking the piss out of our brand worldwide, is it?
For other glorious advertising, sub editing and packaging F*** Ups, just stick F*** Up in the search box top left. Enjoy.
According to The Great God Wikipedia, Albert Lea is a city in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The population was 18,016 at the 2010 census.
The city is at the junction of Interstates 35 and 90, about 90 miles (140 km) south of the Twin Cities. It is on the shores of Fountain Lake, Pickerel Lake, Albert Lea Lake, Goose Lake, School Lake, and Lake Chapeau.
Sounds nice, yeah? What is perfectly clear however is that the 18,017th resident needs to be a trained sub editor.
Oh dearie dearie me.

It's the thin line between reality and fantasy. It's the thin line between sanity and madness. It's the crazy things that make us think, laugh and scream in the dark.
