TRY TO AVOID TRAVEL VIA HEATHROW ON THURSDAY MARCH 27TH

While the new systems at Terminal 5 have been tested extensively, we recommend avoiding any travel through Heathrow on Thursday 27th March. Unfamiliarity with the systems coupled with new security measures will most likely cause long delays for passengers. As with any new venture, teething problems are always present and there is a strong risk of mischief on the opening day.

Then yesterday, this one…

LOL! Told you so!

Ok… the second one was a lie, but it should have happened.

I received a message from support, which they had received from a customer. It didn’t say the following, but the sentiment is exactly the same…

Dear Support,

I was writing a letter and my computer was very sluggish. Therefore I turned my computer off.

After that the problem became MUCH WORSE. No matter what keys I pressed, nothing would appear on my screen.

I lost ALL of my work.

From,

A Customer

I’m not really sure I could do a great deal about that one.

What is the connection between these three words…

Womanly
Illogic
Argument

We went to Wales and it was nice.

Another as-yet-unposted buggle. This time in Cheshire. You can see Shuttlingsloe sticking up prominently in the background.

In the heart of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park in Wales, Blaenau Ffestiniog is not only nearly impossible to spell, but it’s also so rubbish that they have a 2-mile radius around the town which has to be undesignated as national park.

It’s also the hometown of Glyn Wise and apparantly it’s really depressing when it’s raining. I can’t wait!

I was having a discussion last night about how some people are poor at pattern recognition.

Next door’s builder has obviously failed to spot the pattern that when he parks in front of my garage, I ask him to move his van whenever I need to get a car/bike in/out.

Third time in four days.

Argh.

Are there no lengths students won’t go to in order to pull off a prank?

Of course, there could be a perfectly innocent explanation, but it’s not every day that you arrive home from work to discover two horses being delivered to the student flats on your street. Well… I say delivered, I mean ‘being taken out of a horse box which is parked in the middle of the road, walked over to the front door, (the leftmost red door seen here), an amount of unheard dialogue occurring, then being put back into the truck’.

H quite rightly asked how I knew all that had occurred to which I replied “because I stood there staring at them in complete bemusement the whole time”.

So… if you can come up with a more reasonable explanation, I’m all ears…

“I’m really happy… I was awarded 24 million pounds out of the deal, and my daughter will be given £35,000 per year essentially for doing nothing”, Ms. Mills failed to say this afternoon to reporters.
