Morning wittering

[venta]

On Tuesday night, as I was driving home, a small bunny shot out of the verge, directly under my wheels. Looking back, I thought I saw it running away... but must concede that it might have been rolling. Last night, a grouse did exactly the same - emerging directly from the hedge to run straight under the car. This time the cloud of feathers erupting in the rear view mirror left even the most optimistic driver in no possible doubt.

In neither case was there anything I could have done. This doesn't stop me feeling rather guilty about it.

And on a lighter note...

Can anyone remember which carton featured an evil professor called something like Yugo A-Go-Go ? The passengers in the Oxford-Tao bus this morning didn't know, and a quick google hasn't provided any evidence I'm not making it up. I'm currently considering that it might have been Bananaman.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question. But whilst we're on the subject of Bananaman, did you know that it was voiced by the Goodies?

Oooh, I tell a lie. It was batfink.

Er, no, I didn't :)

There is an Acacia Avenue, though, in Greater Leys...

Oooh. And there is a Charlotte the Harlot at 22 Acacia avenue...

I'm not sure about a carton but a brief application of phoenetics brings up Hugo A Go-Go


Is that the one? Do I win a prize? ;-)

Splendid, you're right.

Hugo A-Go-Go, it seems.

Look at this (http://www.davemackey.com/animation/seeger/batfink/bfeptable.html). Isn't it amazing what you can find on the interweb ?

You win a Tw*x, as is customary for all interweb-based quizzes round here. Except, you don't, because beckyc beat you, and you lose it anyway for being smug about cartons.

:p

[kneeshooter]

Damn, beat my by a hairs breadth - and likely only because I was checking my spelling :-)

Point to you...

Timing has never been a strength of mine.

I think you should wash your car

It has obviously decided that since you don't drive it aggressively enough, it will begin to hunt whilst you're driving. It's thus covered itself in a measure of pheromone goo and is trying to draw small, fluffy animals to their doom.

You could just hose it down...
