Beware: Killer Dustbunny of Caerbannog


Forget Spellcheck. People should definitely consult an AbsurdityCheck before making the following announcements:


"The Waterloo & City line is currently suspended due to an excess of dust on the platforms"


"Barclays Ibanking could not log you off because you have been logged off. Please log on and try again."


Just two of the funnier things to which I've been subjected today.

Whoa! Nostalgia blast!


We called it finger 'bokatel' (phonetic rendition, as I never saw it written anywhere) but I'm told the rest of the world calls it carrom. The one we had looked a little different but played fundamentally the same. Think I need to buy one!
