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.”
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…
