Top Banana – Latest Results

At the begining of the year TB was compelled to do a spot of vanity searching for [top banana] to see how well thought of the site was a year after its creation.

The disappointment of not appearing in the top results was quickly lifted by the discovery of many other worthy contenders – who for example would have thought that a serious UK Job Site would market itself as All the Top Bananas - the UK’s most helpful job site.

Now Top Banana is becoming more and more used as an exclamation of greatness but I would have thought that the phrase Big Cheese would be appropriate for a high flying executive recruitment agency however the search results failed to deliver anything associated with careers, jobs or recruitment.

Full marks to the local authority web site for Caerphilly – commanding a number two (snigger) spot for its Big Cheese Festival.

Finally a mention for this blog – Calm Banana – great name – a lovely clean site found when searching for french music.

A little deeper is a page of one liners the best of the bunch (ha) being my favourite “I’m only smiling because I don’t know what’s going on” – top banana!

Can’t put a duvet cover on? Get a Bedspread

Top Banana reader JJ from Hints and Things commented on this sleep post passed on this little gem she discovered whilst researching her feature about BEDDING and looking for information about those who can’t put a duvet on. Its a short video that demonstrates “how to put on a duvet cover quickly” and makes the chore of changing bedding seem simple – easy and fun. On her site we found a terrific guide to looking after bedding and information about choosing so called luxury bedding and even a flippant reference to the hilarious “Naked Body Duvet Covers” that every new couple uses once before each notices the other taking a little too much interest in the printed design

The more sophisticated home maker would of course look for high quality luxury bedding – even shunning common printed duvet and quilt covers instead searching for upmarket classy quilted bedspreads to add style to the interior design of the bedroom.

However we at top banana aren’t too proud to feature our favorites. First up are the amazing bedding designs from Funny Ideas

And how could we omit the enterprising folk over at Futon Campus who offer this banana bed:

Sleep well Banana fans….

Banana Blinds – Interior Designs.

A weekly chore for this site and many like it is to sort through the copious comments in the hope of finding genuine engaging comments that relate to the article they are written on. Amongst the jolly comment spam that descended upon Top banana this week was a half decent attempt from an overseas business that wanted to let me know how they found my post looking for curtains and window blinds but didn’t think it too relevant. the trackback – if thats what you call spurious linking was to a business that promoted banana fibre window blinds

But thats not all – check the Alibaba page for the India rope outsourcer and a whole Cornucopia of similar products available not just his deep linked banana general window blinds but a full range of home interior accessories including blinds, bags, rugs and mats all crafted from banana fibres. The banana fibres are hand woven into versatile fabrics for curtains and blinds but left as dried raw fibres for weaving into sturdy bags and hard wearing rugs.

The window blinds that are able to use the banana material are mainly roller blinds but there should be no reason that the same material cannot be used to create longer elegant vertical blinds.

For those disappointed not to see a selection of banana style venetian blinds we’re pleased to report that this range will be available soon – it is reported that mature banana trees that are no longer productive can be ecologically felled, replacements planted and the harden trucks sliced to craft ultra contemporary wooden blinds- super style without the eco guilt.

A little off topic but whilst researching for this post a snippet on Wikipedia Freelander page legend has it that early adverts for land rovers cite vehicles driven thousands of miles on banana oil
