Saturday

Just got back from a fantastic night round at Steve’s house. We had some fireworks and Kim’s great chili con carne, and lot’s of fun on the dance mats. I’m exhausted!
I’ll post some pictures in the gallery tomorrow.

Bubonic Plague

A pair of tourists in New York have fallen ill with bubonic plague — a naturally occurring though rare disease. The couple from Santa Fe, New Mexico appear to have contracted the disease from the fleas of wood rats around their home. The media on the east coast of the US seem to be having a bit of a panic about it.

New Tables at the Samsi

It’s an old story now, but the Samsi restaurant uses naked girls as tables

The Samsi Japanese restaurant in Manchester is charging £75 to eat food placed on the bodies of two nude women.
Angel Tan, 22, and Kit-Ying Ross, 25, will act as human tables at the first of the “nyataimori” nights on Friday.
The word translates as “adorned body of a woman”. The women will spend the night naked and lying face up.

I should mention that this place is about 200 yards from my office. I pass it most nights on the way to the train station. I’ve not been tempted to pop in though! 🙂
