May. 3rd, 2012 11:43 amMy favourite typo of the day (from RFC 2616):
"This media type UST NOT be used unless the sender knows that the recipient can arse it"
Why yes, thank you, I am really quite juvenile.

Funniest thing on the news today: M&S anti-cellulite knicker claims 'misleading'
...contains the wonderful paragraph:
"The £29.50 Anti-Cellulite Firm Control Waist and Thigh Clincher pants contain vitamin E, aloe vera and caffeine."
Caffeinated pants?
I appreciate that cellulite blights some people's lives but really... who thought caffeinated pants would help?

Jan. 26th, 2010 02:40 pmI'm quite a fan of Promod for online clothes shopping (although, like most clothing retailers, they sell some ghastly stuff as well).
Today in Promod's 'Romantic Boutique' section I learned that their delicate colours "will sublime my skin".
Ow!

Jan. 21st, 2010 10:42 amI remember, I remember, back in the day, when laptops were things to be marvelled at. Anyone on a train with a laptop computer would find people looking, pointing, maybe trying to sneak a glimpse at the wondrous machine.
It's still occasionally noticeable today. The first people on the tube with PSPs, the first people out in public with iPhones, they each drew their share of admiring, interested, or envious glances. They were commentworthy.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, I noticed it happening to me. Passengers on the train cast furtive glances when they thought I wasn't looking. Someone drew a friend's attention. Another traveller peered over my shoulder for a better look.
I was reading a hand-written letter.

So now you know.

I've just put a butternut squash into the oven to roast, so I can make... well, actually, I haven't decided yet what I'm going to make out of it. However, as I peeled its sticky label off I noticed that it was "the co-operative butternut squash".
Has anyone ever bought an uncooperative butternut squash ? Was it tricky getting it into the oven ?

Apr. 21st, 2008 09:27 pmI have Proper Goth Feet. Isn't eBay brilliant ?
From the ankles up I'm boringly clad in shapeless combats and a jumper. But my feet are stepping out in thoroughly ludicrous silver Reactors.
Obviously, the feet didn't get to choose the music.
