Good Afternoon readers, and welcome back to todays daily blog! We are now half way through the week...Not long till the the weekend!! Is it me or are these weeks getting faster??

Men are better drivers than women. Right guys? At least, we THINK we are. That's according to the results of a survey by OnePoll.com . . . which surveyed 3,000 MEN about the subject. Here are the Top Ten Complaints Men Have About Women's Driving.
#1.) Lack of concentration. This was the biggest complaint men had: They think that women are distracted too easily by children, scenery, or other drivers.
#2.) Braking too late. Ladies, you know when your guy is worried about this one. It's when he's pushing his foot down into the floormat and pressing against an imaginary brake.
#3.) Tapping the accelerator. In other words, hitting the accelerator inconsistently, which gives the ride a stop-and-start feel.
#4.) Drifting toward the shoulder. Guys don't like it when you let the car drift from side to side in a lane, instead of keeping it in a straight line. Especially if you drift all the way over to the side of the road, and hit those ridges on the shoulder.
#5.) Getting too close to other cars before passing them
#6.) Braking too hard.
#7.) Fiddling with the stereo.
#8.) Failure to indicate.
#9.) Going too fast.
#10.) Staying in the middle lane / Not trying to pass.
...What do you think of all that women...A bit mean ain't it?!

If you have false teeth, always remember where you leave them, because a burglar was nabbed after leaving his false teeth at the scene of a crime. HA!! Makes you think what the man was doing to make him take them out and leave them, doesn't it! Boozy Jimmy Lee's gnashers were found at a shop he'd broken into. They were sent for tests but an officer spotted the ex-boxer without his falsies and realised the missing teeth were his. Chronic alcoholic Lee, 32, of Blackburn, Lancs, admitted raiding the shop and a factory in the town. Magistrates jailed him for 32 weeks. Lee broke in intending to sleep, the court heard. The police are still unclear why Lee just didn't go to his own home to go to sleep...

Come to think of it, there are a lot of weird people on this Earth...A 12-year-old boy with 12 fingers and 12 toes won't be having surgey to remove his extra digits - because they are not affecting the functions of his hands and feet. Ouyang Guangchun, from Songpo village in southern China's Hunan province, is the only member of his family with the condition known as polydactylism. It is not unusual for children to be born with additional digits, but it is rare for the extra digits to look and function normally. I think people like this, who have extra things are Aliens...Its just odd, and not right!! If I was that boy, I would have had those extra things removed, because I wouldn't like to be mis-taken for something odd and scary and not many people would talk to me!

Monday 26th July

Happy Monday! Welcome back to Monday's blog! Well its been a nice-ish weekend weatherwise...Spent most of Saturday in the garden doing some cleaning up and on Sunday I spent more of the day relaxing and catching up on last weeks EastEnders! Oh its all kicking off in the Square isn't it! I was in the pub last night and there was this family that was going on about EastEnders and taking it so serious! Christ, IT'S NOT REAL PEOPLE! Just so you know, I'm not Soap mad...I hate Coronation Street and Emmerdale! I don't know how people can sit and watch that rubbish!

I've been a right busy boy this morning...I got out of bed, had a shower and went out into the garden...I started sweeping the paths and doing some weeding and then I went back inside and did the cleaning indoors! See, I'll make a good husband ladies! ...If you're interested, get in touch ladies

Here is a odd story to start the week with...Apparently DARTH VADER'S change of heart at the end of "Return of the Jedi" is over. He's back to being EVIL. Last Thursday morning, he robbed a Chase Bank in the town of Setauket, on Long Island, New York. Okay . . . it was just a guy dressed in a Darth Vader costume, with the black helmet, the robes, and a cape. Around 11:30 A.M., Vader walked into the bank, pulled out a semi-automatic handgun, and demanded some cash. The teller gave him an undisclosed amount of money, and he took off. And if that wasn't evil enough, Vader made the teller put the money in a bag with the NEW YORK YANKEES logo. (And, as all baseball fans know, they're the TRUE Evil Empire.)

Customers in the bank at the time thought it was a joke at first . . . one of them even tried to HUG Darth before he shoved the guy away, pulled out the gun, and said, quote, "I will shoot you in the face. This is not a joke." The man in the costume had a, quote, "squeaky" voice, he was about 6-foot-2, and was wearing camouflage pants under his Sith robes. But so far, police haven't been able to figure out who he is. So next time you are in town, keep your eye out for Darth Vader!

The "Iphone" has been voted the best gadget in a poll...Mind you, this poll was done for this new "Iphone 4" came out. I wonder what the poll would be like if it was done after this phone came out...Apparently, you can buy a bit of plaste or something that goes around this new phone...I thought this "thing" was to improve the signal...But I've heard the case is there to stop the phone from smashing when you throw it at a wall when you can't get any signal to make a phone call!

There is something to worry about!! GLOBAL WARMING IS SHRINKING OUR FRENCH FRIES believe or not. This is already happening in Germany because of a heat wave, and it COULD happen to us: Hot temperatures may mean SMALLER FRENCH FRIES. Not as many extra large potatoes can grow in really hot weather . . . and that means shorter fries. In Germany, they're telling people to expect fries that are only 1.8-inches long, instead of the usual 2.2-inches that they're used to. Errrrrrr, just so you know, I am not making this up!

Thats it for today Monday people!! x

Tuesday 27th July

Good Afternoon from Thin World and Welcome to another daily blog thing...So it must be day 5 of having this Summer cold and my nose is start to run a bit more today...Because these last few days, its just been blocked and I haven't been able to do anything with it, but its not starting to break through...Sorry if thats too much information for you but hey! So its two years today until the start for London's 2010 Olympic games...So exciting and believe it or not, it is only about 18 days until the Premiership starts up again! Booooooooo!! Not more football!

I love my Guinness! I just can't get enough of the stuff...But this is for all beer lovers, but its not something for me I must say! But you might like this...A Scottish brewery has created the world's strongest and most expensive beer and are selling the bottles packaged inside dead squirrels and stoats...Errrrrr...That is the part that put me right off! But anyway, BrewDog brewery made the drink, which contains 55% alcohol, but have come under fire from animal rights activists for their unusual choice of packaging. Libby Anderson, Advocates for Animals policy director told BBC Scotland: "It's pointless and it's very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals. This seems to be a perverse idea."

BrewDog managing director James Watt told AFP: "For the final instalment in the strong beer series, we wanted to create something epic, something monumental." The limited edition beer cost £700 for a squirrel bottle or £500 for a stoat bottle and sold out within hours of going on sale. Now, why the heck would you want to spend that much on something wet...Hey, steady ladies! Steady!

There are a lot of odd people out there who's heads aren't on right...A man robbed a bank wearing a woman's blond wig, fake breasts under a sweater and clown trousers, authorities in Pennsylvania, US, said. Swissvale police said 48-year-old Dennis Hawkins was sitting in a parked car covered in red dye from an exploding packet in a bag of money when he was arrested on Saturday. Police Chief Greg Geppert said Hawkins robbed the bank at gunpoint, using a toy BB gun he had shoplifted from a store. I have one word for this man...WEIRDO!!

Before I came to right today's blog, I nearly posted some letters...Important letters in a litter bin! My local council is a bit dumb, because they have stuck a litter bin right next to a post box...And it nearly confused me, ONCE AGAIN!! Why do councils do that??? Stick bins near post boxes...It confuses a lot of people!

If you are finding your water is going missing and your in Suffolk, don't worry...Because the mysterious disappearance of gallons of water from a village's supply is being investigated by Anglian Water...Residents of Ingham, in Suffolk, have complained that showers and taps suddenly run dry and they have no water for up to 45 minutes at a time without any warning. The water company said it believes a thief is tapping into the supply and has launched an investigation. Well Well Well!! Someone out there loves their water! If you do run out of water, keep an eye out for someone with a lot of water in their bag...

Wednesday 28th July

Good Afternoon Readers! Its is Wednesday...Wooohoooo! We are no half-way through the week and not long until the weekend now! So I have had a lovely morning out in the garden with the cat doing some work and cutting the grass! There is no better smell that cut grass...And thats why I enjoy cutting the grass! I'll be back out in the garden again tomorrow doing some more work! I like gardening...I must follow in my nans foot steps because she's great in the garden.

Now, I don't like doing my washing because thats what my mummy is there for...But this is put me off from using a washing machine...A woman in Exeter was left terrified after finding a live snake in her washing machine. Mind you, I would be terrified too! Mother-of-two Wendy Foley, 51, called the police and RSPCA on discovering the reptile but was forced to wait until the next day for it to be removed. I bet she kept the washing machine door closed! Foley, of Farm Hill, Exwick, said: "The washing had been through a full cycle and was ended, so I was going to take it out and put more washing in.

"I opened the glass door at the front and I saw something. I took it to be part of a pair of jeans and then I wondered if it was a toy snake that children use. But then it poked its tongue out at me. It was horrible and quite big. It was just sitting there on the washing. I don't know if it had been through the complete cycle or not. I screamed and screamed - I was terrified. "I called the police but as soon as I said what had happened, they hung up, they thought it was a hoax. I called back and begged them to listen, that it wasn't a hoax, and they said they would get the RSPCA round." Exeter RSPCA spokeswoman Jo Barr confirmed that the corn snake was taken away the next day and said that it could not have been collected any earlier as round-the-clock officers had to prioritise animals needing urgent rescue or veterinary treatment.

If you missed the show last night...Here is what you missed!! Match.com has a list of things you should do while you're SINGLE. And each thing is sort of designed to help you in your NEXT relationship. Here are the top five . . .

#1.) TRAVEL ALONE. It helps you build self-confidence, because you have to make every decision yourself. And learning to be more independent can help you in your next relationship, because being TOO dependant on other people can be a turn off.
#2.) STAY OUT ALL NIGHT. Just not EVERY night. But you have to be a LITTLE wild when you're single, or you'll regret it. Because once you're with someone again, you won't be ABLE to do whatever you want.
#3.) LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. So, if your ex was the one who did all the cooking and cleaning, don't become a slob once you're single.
#4.) SPEND A WEEKEND WITH A MARRIED COUPLE YOUR OWN AGE. Match.com says spending 48 hours with a real couple will remind you that relationships aren't perfect.
#5.) STAY SINGLE FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS. According to Match.com, that's how long you need to really process a break-up. Otherwise, your next relationship won't be any better.

Thursday 29th July

Afternoon blog readers! I can't believe it is Thursday already! Where has this week gone?? Its nearly the weekend! Woop Woop!! Guess what?? I'm back on air tonight from 7PM...JB is away, so I will be taking you a trip down memory lane playing you nothing but tunes from the 80's! Its been another busy day today in Thin World...I've been hoovering, cleaning around the house and doing stuff in the garden! See, I am a busy so and so!

We all need holidays, and so out our pets...A couple have launched a luxury hotel for cats in Hertfordshire. A few weeks ago it was a Dog Hotel opening, but now its a Cat Hotel...Whatever next?! A fish hotel....??? Matt and Abi Purser charge between £15 and £19 per day for a place at the Longcroft cattery, which is situated in Welwyn Garden City! I must remember that place, so I can take my cat there. Abi said: "There are some pretty good catteries out there if you look, but no-one has gone quite to the lengths we have in terms of comfort and style. We believe cats deserve this kind of treatment while their owners are hopefully getting the same standards on their trip away."

The hotel offers six chalets much larger than the norm, each with their own bedroom and exercise area creating the perfect stress free retreat for much treasured pets. Cats can enjoy our Everyday menu, which is included in the cost, or you can opt for something a bit special from the A La Cat menu! Looks like your pet might have a better holiday than you!

Here's something for you to stick your teeth into...A partial set of false teeth made specially for Winston Churchill to disguise his lisp could fetch as much as £5,000 when they go up for auction. The Second World War premier's dentures were so important to him that he ensured a spare set was to hand at all times. Now who the hell would want to buy something thats been in someones mouth! The son of dental technician Derek Cudlipp, who made dentures for the former prime minister, decided to sell part of a spare set, said auctioneers Keys, of Aylsham, Norfolk. I bet you any money, the buyer would see what they look like in their mouth...I BET YOU!!

Here's a great reason to be POPULAR...even once you're out of high school and it no longer affects which lunch table you sit at, or who will fondle your naughty parts. According to a study by Brigham Young University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, people WITHOUT a lot of friends have a 50% higher chance of dying early than people WITH a lot of friends. That's about the same difference as the gap between smokers and non-smokers. In other words, being popular can be as good for your health as not smoking. The main reason is that a good social life does incredible things for your body psychologically... and that can help keep your blood pressure down, your stress level low, and your endorphins pumping. So if you don't want to die early in life, here's a tip for you - GET LOADS OF FRIENDS! If you can't find any...Google "RENT A FRIEND" and rent some!

Friday 30th July

Good Afternnon Friday people! We've made it to another Friday! Wooohooo! Today I am known as Mr Mop...Because this morning I have been busy cleaning and changing beds at my local pub! If your house needs cleaning and you want me to get my hands dirty in your place, do get in touch...And I'll think about it for you! - casey.floyd@mtjr.co.uk

How long is your tongue?? Random question I know but I ask because Californian actor Nick Afanasiev has been credited with having the longest tongue in America by San Diego news station Fox 5. According to some people, there are so many things you can do with a long tongue, but I can't think of any of them...Afanasiev's tongue measures 3.5 inches from the middle of his closed top lip to the tip of his tongue. That leaves him just 0.36 inches short of the world record, held by Briton Stephen Taylor.

Afanasiev's tongue got him a cameo on iCarly and the actor has never looked back. The 20-year-old said: "I knew it was long, I just didn't know it was one of the longest." What I want to know is, why would anyone be so pleased to have a long tongue!

Swans might look lovely but some AREN'T! A male swan is set for a life alone after allegedly killing two wives and forcing another to vanish. OMG! This sounds like a Lucas Swan from EastEnders! Staff at Hestercombe Gardens in Somerset, where the bird is based, have now given up finding him a mate. The swan is believed to have murdered his first wife, who was found dead in mysterious circumstances. The second give birth to three cygnets, but, perhaps fearing her mate's violent tendencies, took them and flew off into the sunset. Oooo this Swan sounds nasty!

There are some sad people out there...Because an advertising campaign featuring three topless women representing different types of beer has reportedly been criticised for sexism. Well Well Well! I would have liked to have seen this advert! According to Orange, CEN reports that some unnamed groups have called for the campaign to be suspended. One protester is quoted as saying: "There is no genuine connection between beer and naked women. The women have just been put there to sexualise beer. The advert is sexist against women." In the adverts, a brunette, redhead and blonde each hold a different type of beer available from Austria's Hirter brewery. Brewery spokeswoman Caroline Kroepfl responded: "The poster shows three self-confident beer drinkers."

Thats it for this week peeps!! The weekend is here now and the blog won't return until Monday now! Have a good one!

Monday 2nd August

Happy Monday peeps!! Where did the weekend go??? I had a well busy one and I've had a busy morning today...I even woke up at 5:30 this morning...Whats all that about??? I'm chilling out now eating and typing this blog at the same time! If you wanted to know, its a Greggs sausage roll and I'm making a hell of a mess on the desk!

You should becareful where you have you get down to it...Because a naked woman crashed through a roof in Aberdeen while having sex with her boyfriend, it has been claimed. It must have been one weak floor or one heavy lady! The couple smashed a third-floor window and stripped off on the roof of the Bridge Street flats on Friday when the incident happened. What I don't get, is why would anyone want to get down to it on a roof of some flats???? The woman reportedly suffered only minor injuries despite the 60ft fall and was released by emergency services after a check-up at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

WARNING!! A 6ft long boa constrictor is on the loose in Essex after escaping through the bathroom window of a house in Barnfield, Wickford. Police are now hunting for the snake, called Diego, after its owner realised it was missing from his home on Friday. Members of the public have been warned not to approach the snake and police have said that it could be a danger to small animals. So keep an eye out for this thing! Specialists believe the the boa may have been encouraged to go out hunting because it is breeding season. Neighbours have been told that it could be in their gardens and have been warned to keep children and pets indoors. Boa constrictors kill their prey through asphyxiation. People, where would you be without my warnings readers?!

Here is something for you...Puppy, Rooney & Bean are new names on the rise for babies. Who the hell would call their babies those names???The trend for unique baby names is increasing. The top twenty unusual baby names in the last ten years include the following:
For fashion fans; Armani, Diesel & Denim
For Hippies; Stone, Echo & Heaven
For celeb fans: Rooney, Cobain & D’Andre
But the top three unique names are Shy, Unity & Bean.

Tuesday 3rd August

Good Afternoon readers!! Welcome to another daily blog full of news and stuff from my World. Had a great start to the day today...I didn't wake up until about 10:30 this morning...I haven't had a good lie-in in ages but it felt good! I haven't done much at all today...I've just had a nice Doner Meat and chips from the Chippy! It was nice too! Anyway...On with the blog!

There is ONE THING I hate about Summertime, its Wasp's! I hate them! They come into the house and then they can never find their way out! And then they start annoying you...A right pain in the backside that! But here's something you might have seen in the papers today, a pub landlord in Southampton has reportedly found the biggest ever wasp nest in the UK! I would have hated to see that! The construction was 5ft 3in wide and 4ft 1in in height and is believed to have housed around half a million wasps. Wasps are right little builders you know! Pest controller Sean Whelan said: "It really was a monster. Nests usually operate from March to September so they're very unlikely to get to be this size.

"The wasps disperse and bury themselves under about six inches of soil until March when they come out and then build the nest for the queen." He continued: "What we think may have happened this time is that, because of the cold winter, the pub kept its heating on so the wasps didn't realise it was time to move on. The size of it for the time of year was unprecedented. They just couldn't have made something this big, this quickly." Whelan had to squirt the wasp colony with an insecticide after using a pole to crack open the top of the oversize nest. "It was scary as hell but it is what I am trained for," he added. I don't dare go up into my Attic now, because of wasps nests!

BIG NEWS! Kerry Katona has poked fun at Katie Price's top lip. The pair have been involved in a recent war of words after Katona commented on Price's wedding to Alex Reid. "It's nice to see Katie Price looking a bit more natural. Last week was the first time I've seen her looking more normal in ages," she wrote in her OK column. I think Katona has been sniffing too much white stuff recently!

I'm thinking that Wendy's isn't going to lose TOO much sleep over this particular unsatisfied customer. On Saturday night, an unidentified man robbed a Wendy's in Atlanta. He pulled a gun on the employees, and took all of the money they had in the register. Later that night, the same Wendy's got a call. From the robber. Turns out he was FURIOUS at how little money they seemed to be making. He said, quote, "Next time there better be more than $586 [in the register]." Then, shortly after, he called AGAIN . . . to complain AGAIN about just how little money he got in his robbery. The police are still trying to track him down.

The BLACK EYED PEAS song "I Gotta Feeling" has set a new record. It's been downloaded . . . legally . . . SIX MILLION TIMES. It's the first song to hit that mark. WILL.I.AM says, quote, "We came out in '98 and our career, if you would look at it on chart, there's no dips in it. For our career to still be healthy and vibrant and doing things like 6 million downloads, it's pretty significant." He adds, quote, "That means that they chose to support the group, support the art. God knows how many people listened to it online and didn't buy it, downloaded it for free and didn't think about it."

Wednesday 4th August

Afternoon you crazy readers and welcome to another blog! So we are now half-way through the week...The weekend will be here in a few days believe it or not...It only seems 5 seconds it was last weekend! Wow I do love it when these weeks just fly by! I wish I never got out of bed this morning...I got out of bed, went for a shower, got dressed and then I opened the blinds in my room...Only to see it was raining! Christ it was coming down! On mornings like that, I just wished I looked outside before getting out of bed!

Its been another busy morning...I had a phone call from my local put where I work and they wanted me to go in and do the cleaning...I cleaned all the bars and I did the washing up from breakfast...Apparently, I'm a good washer!

If you love going fishing, you have to keep an eye out for the eels...A fishmonger in China reportedly suffered severe internal injuries after a live eel crawled up his bottom when he fell into a tank!! Just so you know readers, this is very very true!! Li Chang, 43, slipped off his perch while sitting on the edge of a container housing hundreds of the fish. Chang said: "I guess they were scared when I suddenly landed in the tank so they started wriggling everywhere. Several shot up my trouser leg. And then to my horror I felt one go up my bottom." OMG!! That must have felt weird!! I slightly feel sorry for the eel...And oh, the man! "I didn't say anything at first when I climbed out - I was too embarrassed. I dried myself off and tried to carry on working, but it was just too painful."

Chang's co-workers in Gangzhou called the emergency services when he later collapsed and doctors successfully removed the eel and repaired the trauma in surgery lasting five hours. A hospital spokesman said: "The eel had badly injured the patient. If he had not arrived when he did he would have died. We expect he will make a full recovery, though. The eel was as wide as two fingers and as long as a man's arm." Sooooo when you go fishing again...BEWARE of the eels!

In the news these last few days, its been all about these cloned cows...But now, here's some more interesting news! A farmer has saved the life of a lamb born with only two legs. Awwwwwwww! Cui Jinxiu, from Laizhou in northern China's Shandong province, admitted that she considered dumping the lamb - one of two born in the village last month. "The first one was a very healthy and normal one. However, the second one surprised me," she said. "With a further look I was surprised to find that the lamb only has two legs. I thought of dumping it after it was born but the next morning it even stood up by itself. It is very strong-willed and brave. Although only having two legs it is living normally as other lambs."

She added: "Once it sees me or hears my voice it will run to me with excitement." After being bottle-fed by Cui, the lamb has now reached a height of 30cm and weight of 6kg. So yeah, there is a sheep out there with just 2 feet...!

Thursday 5th August

HOWDYYYYY!! Its Thursday...The weekend is just around the corner! Sadly, this is the final blog update of this week because tomorrow I am going to a Funeral and I mightn't feel like blogging when I return sorry! But don't worry, the blog should be back on Monday! Been busy once again this morning...I think there is something wrong with me...Anyway, I've been busy cleaning out a car, making it spotless and I've also been in control of a mop again! I'll make a good husband...What do you think??

I know the weather isn't that hot at the moment but it is Summer...If you are going away anytime soon, remember to look out for places with my name (CASEY) in the title. My name isn't that popular over there but apparently there are loads of places over seas named me...So if you're walking around over the sea this Summer and you see a place with my name in the title - take a picture of it and send it through to MOI! casey.floyd@mtjr.co.uk LOOK OUT FOR ME WHEN YOU ARE ON HOLIDAY! I'm everywhere...Apparently!

Here's something horrible and VERY strange! A Jack Russell named Kiko has reportedly saved the life of his owner by eating his infected big toe while the man was drunk. Now thats the way to sort out something infected...Jerry Douthett was taken to hospital where the infected stub was amputated and doctors discovered that he was suffering from Type 2 diabetes and had a dangerously high blood sugar level! His wife Rossee said: "Jerry had had all these Margaritas, so I just let him sleep. But then I heard these screams coming from the bedroom, and he was yelling, 'My toe's gone, my toe's gone! His wife Rossee said: "Jerry had had all these Margaritas, so I just let him sleep. But then I heard these screams coming from the bedroom, and he was yelling, 'My toe's gone, my toe's gone!'."

Jerry, of Rockford, Michigan, added: "The toe was gone. He ate it. I mean, he must have eaten it, because we couldn't find it anywhere else in the house. I look down, there's blood all over, and my toe is gone." Infection specialist for Spectrum Health Dr Russell Lampen said that that someone without Jerry's life-threatening condition would have woken up during the incident, even if they were drunk. So in other words, if the dog never ate the toe, the man could have died! So thank god for the dog! But I wonder what the toe tasted like...Actually, I don't want to know! I've just had my lunch!

Something for the big birds now...Italy just held the twentieth Miss Chubby contest; a beauty pageant for plus size ladies! Contestants, weighing a minimum of 15 stone, model eveningwear, and can take part in an optional swimwear round! The newly crowned Miss Chubby 2010 weighed just under 27 stone!!!!! Her prize? A big cake!! WOW! I bet you think I am making this up...Just so you know, I'M NOT!

Oh, I'm going to move to China...Why I hear you say...Well this is WHY...In China police are giving cash rewards to drivers who stop for red lights. Oooooo what lucky people!! In the Hebei province of China so many people ignore red lights that police couldn't keep up with handing out fines! So instead they’re awarding courteous drivers with cash! BYEEEE!
