Back again :P Baby Names

So I've been pretty busy with deadlines, christmas and flu over the last month, but from today I'm starting up my blog again! Hurrah I hear you cry!.....deathly silence :S never mind

Anyway in keeping with my light hearted blog my first entry for a while is to be on a topic I and all my girl friends have given plenty of thought..... baby names.

According to UK parenting club Bounty the most popular UK names are Jack and Olivia. Jack I can completely understand it has been in poll position for the last 14 years.... but Olivia???? Seriously? Who names their child that?

The list also shows the British publics inability to think for itself, Ruby is now the 2nd most popular girls name (following the Birth of Charlotte Church's daughter) and Zac (presumably after Zac Efron) has now crept into the top 100.

So it seems that most children in the UK are called either Jack, Oliver, Grace or Ruby. How boring. Names are meant to be a mark of individuality, not a way to show how we all follow the crowd.

I fully intend to name my first born Humphfry-Heathcliff, maybe he'll be bullied, but a light taunting never did anyone any harm-and people will certainly remember him. And if people find that a mouthful-I'll just say his name is H, after H from Steps of course :P

Jamie's fowl dinners really are fowl

Jamie Oliver, the spokesman for free range organic chickens uses battery eggs in his ready made sauces.

He is the Patron of the friggin' Battery Hen Wellfare Trust!

I guess that at the end of the day things really do come down to money.

In January this year, Jamie needed a new angle to keep up his t.v status (and wage packet), so he denounced battery chickens along with Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and Gordon Ramsey.

Camp Jamie also needed to keep profit up on his ready made sauces, so in the battery eggs go. Good plan, shame someone noticed.

Not the First Time

This isn't the first time we've seen Jamie's conflicting views on chickens, one of his restaurant's emerged to be serving eggs from battery hens earlier in the year.

Apparently Jamie was unaware of both of there incidents, and a new recipe for his green pesto sauce (made without the help of battery hens) will be on sale from January.

But the Green Pesto sauce already in the shops will stay there, they've got to keep making a profit after all.
