You really do get the impression that the papers are LOVING this swine flu thing. They’re just SO excited
The Beatleg Bootles

“Tune in next week, when you’ll hear Nurse Piggy say…”
If they want us to take it seriously they should give Swine Flu a name with more gravitas. As it is, it sounds like a sketch on The Muppets.
Google Street View car just drove past… I gave it the thumbs up.
Back a lot better today, by the way.
Does anyone else receive bluetooth spam on their phone from shops as they go past? There’s one in Western Rd that does it every day…

Ouch! Back pain makes moving around tricky…
Proconsul. Proconsul.
Now that baboon’s gone off with our papers
Brighton bus drivers slow down as they approach green lights, hoping to get caught by red. This usually happens when I’m in a hurry.
At least the bus nutter I was sitting next to has got off.
It was sunny for a week, now it’s raining. I just bet that today someone quips “Oh well, that was all the summer we’re getting!” SHUT UP.
I seem to have reached the age when I can feel changes in the weather “in my bones”. Just what is the evolutionary advantage of this?
Due to unnecessary engineering works, the Gatwick Express has been diverted via the moon
Due to “necessary” engineering works? as opposed to unnecessary engineering works?
For some reason I’m becoming unreasonably furious at the very idea of fax machines still existing and being used regularly in this day & age
Where did the morning go?
Dreamed I was sleepwalking. Don’t know if that means I was or not.
I keep misreading headlines; just now for a second I thought “Ill Leno cancels taping of show” was in fact “Ill Leno cancels raping of snow”
Quite pleased with the ten illustrations I completed last night for the “First Impressions” anthology

Ugh! Just sat on a wet seat on the bus. Next person to sit there doesn’t seem to have noticed…
Spotted recycling collectors doing their rounds in a hired van!
A fox just ran past the office window…
Samaritans is an anagram of “As Martians”. What are they *really* up to?
Misread @DowningStreet ‘s latest tweet as “Chancellor today presents the world’s first ever Cartoon Budget”
the 29 bus driver just shut the doors on an old woman’s arm at Elm Grove/Lewes Road!
About a million things to do today…
The first things my 20something self would notice if transported into my 40something body are all the aches and pains. Then the increased girth.
Predictive Texting Priorities No.8: It thinks I’m more likely to say “Fax” than “Day” - and in this fax and age too!
My other brain is a Porsche
Invented a new character, Damnation Sally. Not sure who she is yet.
Just saw a policeman checking out a woman’s bum
The mad seagull that lives on my roof is back for the third year running. I’m not sure how I recognise it - but I do.
Rescanned my Freeview box last night and found a new station: The Misery Channel
It’s a good time for the British to visit Europe - you’ll get much further as the mile’s very strong against the kilometer at the moment
Fuckleberry Hinn
I always misread “a uniformed policeman” as “an unformed policeman” and start to imagine a nightmarish smooth plastic face beneath a helmet
Getting a job restoring medieval art in the Dirty Triptychs Department

Ailuromancy: predicting the future by interpreting the behaviour of cats
My ribs are startingto feel a lot better…
Unexpected item in thinking area
While I was away, my Freeview box “forgot” to record Red Dwarf. From what I’ve heard this was a good thing? It did record Doctor Who, though
Back home, weather rather depressing…
