Fancy buying insect-infested food? Or perhaps an animated tramp? It has to be MRM’s Friday Links

This week, we’ve discovered the plethora of oddities to be found on the high street. Not only are there such ‘delights’ as this dancing skeleton, but next time you’re out shopping, it might be worth taking a second to check your receipt to see what you’re REALLY being charged for. Call us old-fashioned but $50.00 for ‘nothing’ seems a little steep, ahem.

However, nothing amused us more than this heroic pensioner who decided to take on a gang/ posse/ gaggle/ troupe of burglars (what is the collective noun for burglars?) anyway, she won! Who would have thought the sweet little old lady could wield her handbag in such a ferocious manner?! However, if you’re less inclined to get involved in actual street crime then perhaps this iPhone app is for you. It’s just what we’ve all been waiting for, the chance to adopt a tramp and keep him on the straight and narrow so that he doesn’t turn to theft…

Debrett’s eat your heart out, it’s all about your Twitter listing in Covent Garden so we were chuffed to see MRM’s 140-character ‘candy’ of choice @hwallop make the ‘Top 100’ Twitter list. Good on you, Sir!
