I changed the system error messages on one of our dev VAXen to be ‘ow!’ On a CTRL-Y and ‘WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS’ on CTRL-O.

Got complained at.

Aye, me and Mrs Witchy went there a few years ago and it was very splendid. I too have yet to visit the London one, I’m just not in London as often as I used to be.

Hunkin is one of my heroes. I was chuffed to monkeys when he reappeared with more videos the other year. See also his Arcade near Covent Garden.

So is his bonkers Retro museum in Ramsgate with the Furby organ, dancing haunted Tellytubbies and a full-blown church organ.

Possibly, but instead I can say ‘help me Mrs Medlicott, I don’t know what to do! I’ve only got 3 bullets but there’s 4 of Mötley Crüe’

Aaaaargh the point of *boilerplate* is that *it's the same every time and you only need one copy and use it every time* so *you don't need a device to generate it for you*

I do wonder what knowledge I’ve sacrificed in order to accidentally memorise Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics.

Not an earworm I was expecting either. Next you’ll be sharing ‘lone ranger’ by Quantum Jump.

This. I simply can't understand why people hold a feckin' lapel mic like they're a reporter at the scene of a News. They clip on for a reason!

I guess it’s the same with kets or doods, though I have it in the back of me mind that doods was a brand name aeons ago.

Spogs are the bobbly aniseedy things from liquorice allsorts. Were they invented in the yorkshires?

Alas! For my drawer of fucks is absolutely empty. It’ll be hilarious if any one of them has to leave via a floating passenger vessel.

Ah. Thanks for the offer but I’d be using it for step count too - going for walks is the only time I’d wear a watch these days. Be interesting to see a comparison from last weekend when we managed 12.5 miles though.

Oo get you and your ‘seat’ and ‘table’. We were in an easyhotel over the weekend and felt lucky we’d got a bed since there was fuck all else. At least the bog and shower were separate, but only behind a frosted glass door that didn’t shut.

A black and white image of a canal in winter, looking towards an old bridge, through which you can see stone steps leading up the side of a lock gate.
