The lad drew on his face and arm with a biro today. He'd been told not to draw on his leg, you see, after yesterday. No more biros in the car!

Saved a guy from turning the wrong way into a 1way street this morning, he'd almost gone left at the previous junction and changed his mind at the last minute, causing me to get out of the throttle sharpish, so I was keeping a beady one on him, and I could tell he was thinking about the next junction so was ready to give him 5 quick blips on the horn when he did move that way. Actually got thanked!

I'm amazed so many of you haven't seen any of those 3 classics. My world view is shattered.

I've just re-read Brautigan's "In Watermelon Sugar". Possibly the strangest book I own.

The UV flykiller still isn't doing much, but I did spot a couple stuck to the death-dealing elements this morning, so it's still ahead of the two venus flytraps. L has found a source of the Vapona window stickers which are the best non-spray flykillers we've ever had, so we'll be getting some of them, I think. Remember the old fashioned flypaper rolls that you hung from the lightshade (or wherever) and ended up covered in dead and dying flies, completely putting you off whatever it was you were thinking of eating?

What can you install on a PC to play any region DVD without that "only 4 region changes" rubbish? Somebody on thehendonmob forum wants to know.

Should we send that electrosensitive woman a copy of the latest xkcd cartoon?
