Lido Panda Action

May 19th, 2008

According to this website, there are 66667 anagrams of ‘Panadola Diction’. At least 40,000 of them amuse me.

So, instead of the misleading tagline under the blog title up there, I’m just going to put an anagram up instead, preferably one which inspires a nice mental image.  

The first one I’ve chosen is Lido Panda Action. This is great for a number of reasons. Here are the reasons:

  • There’s a chipper on Pearse St called Lido, which recently reopened after rennovations. They do a good battered sausage.
  • When I was a young chap, there was a program called Lido on Eurosport, which involved scantily clad flowery French women parading around a stage. I don’t know what the point of it was. I remember a parent wandering into a room when Lido was being flicked past, and her being slighty outraged. “But it’s Eurosport!” didn’t seem to reassure her of its suitability.
  • A lido is actually a fashionable beach resort, or an open-air swimming pool.
  • Pandas are the Robert Smiths of the bearlike-mammal world.
  • Every phrase sounds more exciting with the word ‘action’ in it.

If you can’t combine all that into a pleasing mental image then your imagination is broken.

The real reason being ye just wanted to post a picture of a panda because they is the cutest dammit! Awwwwwwwww.

Any chance of ye getting one of those magic comment boxes that remember your details because I hate having to type them in each time (and I don’t think I can quite carry off calling myself ‘foxy’ :p)

Hmm yes it is a bit annoying to have to fill everything in, I’ll look into that. Any idea how to change it? It is just part of the template I use - or is it a setting or plugin or something I need to change?

The box remembers my details just fine, maybe it’s a browser thing? In Firefox anyway, it’s Tools>Options>Privacy and then tick ‘remember what I enter in forms and the search bar’.

Aha, well that makes sense.. I thought there may have been some wordpress gadgets that remember other wordpress people or something.
