After a 5 month posting hiatus, I was a little peturbed to return and discover that livejournal is now bedecked with banner ads, some of which are of a somewhat dubious nature. So, i'm upping sticks from here, and going it alone! (well, with a lot of help, ta Nick!).

So, re-calibrate your bookmarks to:

There's a lot said about personal numberplates - whether they're actually quite sad, and if so, just how sad.

However, what is, without question, rather sad is to have a plate that's linked to your make of car - that doesn't QUITE have the spelling right. Take, for example, the Lotus Elise I saw last night, with a plate that spelled out "Ealse".

You can then compound the sadness even more by being overtaken in your Ealse by a clapped-out Ford Fiesta with a cloud of black smoke coming out the back of it.

There are many, many high performance cars around my neck of the woods this weekend, for Goodwood, but I suspect i've seen the prize plum already.

Current Music: Runaway Boys - Stray Cats

Seriously, how long IS a series of Just a Minute? It's going on FOREVER.

Current Mood: contemplative

Why is it that a series of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" seems to be over in roughly 9 minutes, whilst the series of "Just A Minute" which invariably follows it goes on for about 17 YEARS?

Current Mood: recumbent
