Following the furore and subsequent apologies from television companies regarding phone-in competitions that viewers had no chance of winning, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has issued writs to U.E.F.A, the Football Assosciation and the Premier League, for allowing them to enter competitions for years that they had no chance of winning.
This virtual hug is meant to help raise funds for Meagan’s Walk which raises funds to fight paediatric brain tumours. Meagan’s Walk was started by Denise Bebenek after her 5 year old daughter Meagan died of a brain tumour 6 years ago.
Every year on Mother’s Day, Denise leads thousands of people to hug SickKids where Meagan had received such excellent care.
This virtual hug remembers her love of laughter and of hugs.
If it makes you smile, I hope you will consider sharing this virtual hug with your friends and maybe even consider donating to this worthy cause.

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken back because he can't place where he knows her from.
So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???"
She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No, I'm your son's teacher."

And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my charriot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land William Blake
The man says, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finish, the doctor says, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse."
He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them £50 and he says goodbye.
The next week, however, the couple return and asks the sex therapist to watch again.
The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.
This happens several weeks in a row.
The couple makes an appointment, have intercourse with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave.
Finally, after 5 or 6 weeks of this routine, the doctor says, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?"
The old man says, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges £98. The Hilton charges £139. We do it here for £50, and I get £43 back from BUPA!" thanks G
Being on the sore end of "deletion for copyright violations" on more than a few occasions I was amused to be offered a new service by Blogger/Google.
Apparently you can now have a "video bar" on your blog "Displaying clips from YouTube and Google Video for your readers to watch without leaving your site."
Strange that, as Google are to be sued by Viacom for copyright violations on YouTube to the tune of 1 Billion USD. Read here.
Seems I can host anything with copyright that Google wants to make money from kindly let me host, but sadly not anything of my choosing.
