Brilliant, Bamba. Exactly the same happened to a friend* of mine, but he realised that before he could go downstairs he really really had to go. Pot plant, thank you. I like to imagine the footage still exists, its owner watching the friend's career for signs of wealth. *No, really. |

I love the Prince Charles theatre. I can't see them doing anything about Bill and Ted on their website, but that looks to be a photo from last year (going by the posters). What they are doing, however, is showing English dubs of Studio Ghibli films every Saturday. So, you know, in. Craster can come and go to sleep again. |

I ordered a book once, from the book depository. It arrived about eight months later with a postmark of two days after I’d ordered it, all the way from Gloucester. That’s a 20 hour walk. |

My guess would be: Lost in a nook (or cranny, let's not discriminate) in a Post Office and only found when something was moved. My brother once received a tattered and charred birthday card that had been in a Post Box fire. There was a note from Royal Mail apologising for it being late

If the definition of Art is an action or object that provokes an emotional response, and if 'meh' is an emotional response, then I suppose that is art. |

If it wasn't for dog walkers, vast numbers of murder victims would never be found. I guess that people out for an evening's dogging might spot murder victims too, but are perhaps not willing to report them for obvious reasons. |

Had some broadband issues earlier and Virgin's customer service phone lines were down too, so I had a bit of a moan on Twitter to them. After a while, I got a DM from someone to help out. It was only when they asked me for my card details as part of the security check that I realised it was a fake account that must be preying on all the people who also couldn't get through on the phone. Sneaky gits. Hopefully they won't catch too many out before Twitter does something about it. |

Hah. She has a game where she just throws out a random string of letters and then asks us what word it makes. So when I told her that's not even a word she replied with "is it because it's not got any muslims in it?". Which made me panic a bit thinking has she seen something awful somewhere or has some horrible twat has been talking to her somehow? Until we managed to piece it all together. |
