Very True Things
“He talks to himself sometimes because he’s the only one who understands what he’s saying.”

Archive for July, 2005


Somewhere in a parallel reality, or possibly somewhere else in this one, there’s a blog post from someone who overheard the following yesterday:

Woman: Look, this one matches our bed linen.
Man: Why would I ever want a tie that matches our bed linen?


Combining public transport, mobile phones, the NHS and eavesdropping.

Overheard on the train during the week, woman on mobile phone:

“Got to go now, I’ve been trying to get through to work but no one’s answering. I’m going to be an hour later, always a good thing when you’ve got patients waiting.”


I’ve just seen a giant rabbit sitting on top of a dustbin. This sort of thing doesn’t normally happen to me. At least it didn’t say anything.


One half of a phone conversation between pink_weasel and her mother with interruptions from myself:-

PW: We’re going up to town later to buy Steve a wedding shirt.

PW: Yes, and cuff holes!
VTT: Cuff links.
PW: Cuff links.

PW: So what do you call the other bit? The holes?
VTT: The holes come free with the shirt.
PW: Apparantly, the holes come free with the shirt.
[Laughter at both ends of the phone line]

And I know this will keep them both amused all day long. :-)

This blog was down for a few hours with a mysterious http headers error. When I logged into phpMyAdmin and deleted the last comment spam everything was okay again. Some sort of nasty insertion attack? Time to check the WordPress site for updates…

The Doctor and Rose model the 2006 time traveller range

The tenth Doctor’s costume has been revealed. Different to Eccleston’s, and eccentiric without being silly. In other words, spot on.

Christmas seems so far away…

[Update] More (and bigger) pics in the David Tennant gallery on the BBC’s Doctor Who web site.

Here we go again. “Incidents” at three tube stations and a bus.

Seems to have been more of a whimper than a bang this time but it’s still too early to tell for sure.
