I am going to Graspop at the end of the month. Tickets are purchased, travel arrangements being made, person stupid enough to go with me found. Yay, Dawn! You have no idea what you’ve let yourself in for…
Time Lord
As is usual with the BBC, I heard a story on 5-Live this morning and it’s bloody nowhere to be found on the BBC News site. The closest I can find is this nice bit of info on the 50th anniversary of the atomic clock.
Anyways, the story is that the person who looks after this lot is moving on and they’re looking for another “Time Lord”. The bizarre thing is that one of the interview questions is going to be “What would you do if you could stop time?”
Now this is either one of those daft personality-revealing schemes… or the person who gets the job can actually stop time on a whim. Now, I know this atomic clock stuff is clever, but that’s way neater than I’d have thought.
What would I do? Well, think how many boobies you could grope without people knowing it’s you… There’s one downside, though. If you stop time then that’d stop you as well so you’d not be able to start it again. I think that may be a bit awkward. Unless you set an alarm. I assume it’d have to be an atomic alarm clock, and I’ve not heard of one of those, but maybe that’s the really secret bit.
I’d apply but I can almost guarantee I’d sleep in and miss the interview. My alarm clock’s not atomic.
There’s a book by Geoff someone-or-other about a man who can stop time whenever he wants – and indeed, goes around feeling boobies and the like.
Gah. My nom-de-ploom discovered…
too rock for me. if theres an atomic clock, bomb and kitten how about atomic bookshelves?
Can one get an atomic clock shaped like Garfield I wonder.
Babs – doubtless. You can get *anything* else with Garfield printed on it so I don’t see why not.
Minnow – I *am* metal. It’s just about rock enough for me, though I’m disappointed at not being able to catch Machine Head who’re only playing one festival this year and it’s not one I can get to. Roll on Fear Factory in Autumn…
please dont be a black metal fan….
I have never burned down a church, taken on a *stupid* new name, pretended to be a troll or killed any of my friends.
Ever.
Really.
His confession really is not founded as yet…

This stupid soul will now descend back into the shadows for another short time 🙂
