Even Amazon thinks it...

Via the ever amusing Register odds feed, James Blunt is definitely a wanker, try it for yourself on the Amazon.co.uk search page and look at 'related searches' (ETA: The search for James Blunt appears to have been fixed, I now link to the search for wanker—if they've fixed that, try tedious). No, I don't know how their algorithm works, but I might look into it at some point—I think it's something to do with what people search for while buying things.

In other news, via Gareth, how about a Scotsman with a 4-week hangover? Gareth thinks he's a lightweight, Jennie knows people that drink more than that regularly. I'm scared.

I looked at the numbers and I thought, at first, 'No way! That'd kill you!' Then I dug out the calculator; assuming he slept as normal, during that time, on average, it was slightly less then one beer an hour. Thinking about it, I've worked with people who drank at a higher rate (although admittedly not for as long). So presumably it is within anatomical tolerances!

That said, I don't think a four-day bender is a good idea! I imagine his liver no longer wants to be his friend...
