Random gubbins

First off, apologies for not getting the right hand bar with the charity stuff done as yet. I was hoping to have more free time this evening, but I got buried in coursework. It will be done over the weekend.

And now for something completely different… Well, a few things. Snippets, if you will.

Boing

Toyota Avensis’s bounce quite well when you reverse them into lamp-posts.

Thank **** for that.

Let down

You know, when a woman whispers to you "How long can you go?! I don’t know if I can take it any longer!" you get a bit of an ego boost.

If the next thing you feel is a cat squashing your bollocks and licking your nose to wake you up, it really brings you back down to earth with a bump.

Bugger. And Ms Winslet was really up for it in that dream, too. At least I didn’t mess the duvet like last time.

Something you don’t see every day

An annoyed guy screaming inflamatory Afrikaans down a mobile phone.

Well, it was the first time I’d see it.

Think +ve

We had one of those "positive thinking" seminars at work last week. As a result, the QC department opposite me decided to put a "positive" statement on their white board each morning. Basically, it’s always "HAVE A [word] DAY!"

I convinced them to change it to "HOOPY" for today, despite the fact that not one of them knows what it means. Funnily enough, the people sat with me in the more techie department all got it.

Are us HHG fans really all geeks?

How come…

…the one time you leave your phone lying in the office at lunchtime is the one time someone calls? And, of course, they withhold their number and don’t leave a message.

Yes, I know – "If it’s important they’ll ring back" but all the same it pisses me off as I simply don’t know. Couldn’t they at least leave a short message? Gah.
