All of these deserve more space, but time is fleeting.


Why I dislike spoilers. At the end of the 2006 series of Dr Who, I thought it had a week more to run, so the ending was a real surprise. I watched it on DVD box set recently, and didn't realise the last disk was all extras, so the same thing happened again.


Response to a tlanti post, on how I MacGyvered my way into my house once.


Seeing how few of chiller's friends sleep well, post a poll asking how often people know that they have dreamed.


Impressions of last week's work travel. Business class to Karachi.


Next reading list:
Finished reading JPod.
Nighthawks spotted Good Dog, Bad Dog in the DFC. And Dead Like Me. Wish I could remember the first time I was aware of this painting. It was in the last few months I'm sure.
Finished reading Perdido Street Station.


When I caught a bus coming the other day, as I was walking past the bus stop I said "bonus" out loud. I think that's a nice phrase, and wanted to blog about why. Not sure I've ever heard anyone say it as an exclamation if happiness though.
Chatted to lady waiting at stop on Northern line cursing me.


Blog about the Alternative Press Fair.


Been tagged to do a 16 things about me meme.

When a bus driver turn off the engine at a random stop, it usually means someone's got on without paying. If someone staggers upstairs swaying, you can guess who it was. Especially if they're muttering that the driver is a "dirty foreigner" under their breath.

But the daft part was that he had the broadest Irish accent I've heard since Brad Pitt in Snatch, and the driver had a Cockney accent.

"DRESSING MY CAT TO LOOK LIKE YOU JUST ISN'T THE SAME."
Best response to stalking accusation ever.


I was particularly tickled by Martin Rowson's surreal cartoon on the EU constitution earlier in the week.


A simple guide that can be used to hide messages in knitting. They can't be seen from the front. Here's an example a friend knitted.

Fear the impossible quiz, as it's quite tricky. Flash game.

Surliminal has just posted a nifty map showing travel time by public transport to the Department for Transport. Re-enforces the idea that south east London is impossible to commute from.
