Alistair Darling has announced a plan where he will tax everybody who earns over £150,000 a staggering 50p.

I’m not entirely sure whether this taxable amount will be taken anually or monthly, but even worst case scenario means £6 a year will be syphoned off from Britain’s elite and hardest working. That means for one lunch a year, they’ll have to skip buying a chicken wrap from Subway and bring something from home.

If you saw my post on Yvette’s Boutique, you’ll know how much I love Web 1.0 websites that are chock-full of content.

Today I stumbled upon Party Tent City.

I don’t know what this means but I’m sure it’s incredibly useful:

10×10 can be expanded to a 40×60 with nothing wasted except the tarp. We have hundreds of sizes like 6×8, 10×10, 10×20, 20×20, 20×30, 20×40, 30×30, 30×40, 40×40, 40×50, 40×60 & 50×50

If you’re just looking for camping advice, look no further than his advice section where he goes on to say

You want plenty of help so the wind doesn’t grab the tent as a kite until you can get it locked down securely.

And would you believe:

Zip Codes where you can just pick up the tents with no shipping costs. 77001, 77002, 77003, 77004, 77005, 77006, 77007, 77008, 77009, 77010, 77011, 77012, 77013, 77014, 77015, 77016, 77017, 77018, 77019, 77020, 77021, 77022, 77023, 77024, 77025, 77026, 77027, 77028, 77029, 77030, 77031, 77032, 77033, 77034, 77035, 77036, 77037, 77038, 77039, 77040, 77041, 77042, 77043, 77044, 77045, 77046, 77047, 77048, 77049, 77050, 77051, 77052, 77053, 77054, 77055, 77056, 77057, 77058, 77059, 77060, 77061, 77062, 77063, 77064, 77065, 77066, 77067, 77068, 77069, 77070, 77071, 77072, 77073, 77074, 77075, 77076, 77077, 77078, 77079, 77080, 77081, 77082, 77083, 77084, 77085, 77086, 77087, 77088, 77089, 77090, 77091, 77092, 77093, 77094, 77095, 77096, 77097, 77098, 77099, 77201, 77202, 77203, 77204, 77205, 77206, 77207, 77208, 77209, 77210, 77212, 77213, 77215, 77216, 77217, 77218, 77219, 77220, 77221, 77222, 77223, 77224, 77225, 77226, 77227, 77228, 77229, 77230, 77231, 77233, 77234, 77235, 77236, 77237, 77238, 77240, 77241, 77242, 77243, 77244, 77245, 77248, 77249, 77251, 77252, 77253, 77254, 77255, 77256, 77257, 77258, 77259, 77261, 77262, 77263, 77265, 77266, 77267, 77268, 77269, 77270, 77271, 77272, 77273, 77274, 77275, 77277, 77279, 77280, 77281, 77282, 77284, 77287, 77288, 77289, 77290, 77291, 77292, 77293, 77297, 77298, 77299, 77401, 77402

I have absolutely no idea where we were driving to but Ironic by Alanis Morisette came onto the radio. For years I had just listened to this song and let it be but that day was to be different. I got angry with Alanis. Not because she’s a ghost faced emo with a huge chin, but because a large portion of the song is ironically, not ironic.

Let’s take a look at the lyrics and discuss whether they’re ironic or not:

It will be delicious, as so:
