Sim-O

I was watching Question Time last night and was wondering why I couldn’t really take Michael Gove seriously.

Then I saw it: Shadow Secretary for Schools, Children and Families, Michael Gove MP and comdey actor Rick Moranis.

In the back of Private Eye…

I found this in the front passenger door pocket of my car. I have no idea where it came from.

Not only was it completely black, very soft and shrivelled, but also a little sticky which scared the life out of me when I put my hand on it without seeing it, much to the delight and disgust of my kids.

Saw this rat in town, 3 O’clock-ish, just sat there, on the kerb with its’ eyes closed. Dunno if it was dieing or just taking a break. Probably dieing cos it’d never be catching 40 winks out in the open otherwise.

Big news for a small town.
We ahd some flooding on Sunday, appeared on News24 and everything.
These pics should give you an idea of what it was like, although I am rubbish at taking pictures and only had a phone camera, oh and I didn’t get to the worst areas because I wasn’t going to cycle through shitty water for a couple of pictures.
More to come over the next couple of days, too, apparently.

Abingdon Flooding

The best comment I have seen about the recent calor gas cylinder-in-a-car-bomb attempts was this, from a motoring website, Honest John:

Subject: What Iritates You the Most?

Caravans, let’s not forget them.

Maybe the current vogue for inappropriate use of Calor gas cylinders may see them banned and the caravanning industry crumble to dust as a result. Every cloud…..

This guy built this car for his PhD. Click the picture to read about it. He deserves to have passed with top marks.

The jury’s still out about this bit of news at the moment, could be good to have a big lake nearby, but is it missing the point about water shortages and Thames Waters record about leaking pipes?
