A Stig

Having never knowingly watched Top Gear, I'm always confused when people, real people in my world, throw this phenomena into the conversation. Now, apparently, a high court has ruled that the BBC, for it is they, cannot stop some book from revealing the true identity of a Stig. I'm certain the people inside tellytubbies and Mr blobby are quaking in their slippers. Frank Sidebottom will turn in his grave.

Thoughts from a bus #1

I'm loving my new found android freedom. I've got apps coming out of my ears. not many are of any practical use, of course.

gdocs is good. I was able to read one of my docs on the bus this morning.

I've installed evernote which looks good. I created some notes today, but can't access them from my work pc, due to it being deemed a dodge site.

My music apps for the guitar are good too. gstrings, a particular favourite.

Well, after a bit of a break, I'm now back. Androblogger has made this all possible.

Ding Dong

At this festive time it's always best to give thought to those less fortunate than yourselves.

However, living in Scotland now, i'm always amazed at how stupid the English (you have to live in Scotland to appreciate this) are. They can't even prepare for a wee bit of snow. And once they realise that they say stupid things like this...

"My husband left work in Reading at 1500 GMT and is still to arrive home - it is now 2315 GMT. He has been trapped in traffic for over eight hours and will still have to leave the car and walk the rest of the way home."

Well, that would certainly be a silly thing to do. He will just have to go back and get the car, presumably on foot. He probably should have just stayed in Reading. Got a hotel and had a night out on the razz.

Also, why's she being so specific about the time? And at 23:15 she felt so aggrieved she had to get in touch with the BBC. Why do people do that? Who cares, frankly. I couldn't give two shiny shites about her husband.

How old was this woman when she died ffs? 105 at least, i'd guess? I feel sorry for the bloke. At 85 surely convincing your mother to give you a million dollars before she leaves this mortal coil is better than giving it to charity? Clever even.

Nothing better than giving your offspring a good start in life, even if he is 85. I hope my children do the same when I'm 105 and think that giving my millions to cats or some such is better than giving it to my young children.

Of course, at 85 I can't imagine what you could do with a million dollars that would better the value you have taken from life. Apart from getting a Sinclair C5 or one of those nippy big wheeled thingies.

Ahhh look at all the lonely 106 Billion People

Apparently, since 50,000 BC, 160 billion people have been born. 100 billion of them are dead. That's a lot of grief.
