Weight and Stuff Report – 4 April 2010

Sunday 4 April 2010 22:31
Weight: 228 pounds (16 stone 4 pounds, 103.4 kg)

Hmmm. No change there, then. Probably the after-effects of not actually doing much in the way of moving for a week.

Oh, and I think I’ll be needing a new one of these:

Sonic Screwdriver

I may need a new one

The Doctor’s got a new one that glows green. Can’t be out of date with our sonics, can we?

Great Movie Mistakes

OK, this is fun. Currently showing on BBC 3 is this quite lovely collection of continuity errors and cock-ups from a wide range of movies. It got extra points for the warning at the start that the mistakes were spotted by nerds, and even more bonus points for being presented by Robert (Mitchell and) Webb. And for starting with an affectionate mockery of the Star Wars series, which made it quite clear that the biggest error was making the prequels, which is entirely accurate, of course.

This site is being rearranged a bit

I’m going through the long, slow and moderately fiddly and tedious job of moving all my pictures out of Gallery and into WordPress posts. This might involve some things temporarily breaking. Sorry about that, but it needs to be done.

All done now. Some lingering oddness may remain, which I’ll fix as I come to it.

 

Hot Wot?

You know, I don’t generally look too hard at my shopping receipts. I just make sure I record the right total in iBank, keep them until they show up on a bank statement, then destroy them. But I just removed yesterday’s from my wallet and this stared back at me in all its horror and degradation[1]

Oh dear. Oh dear, Tesco, oh dear...

Oh dear. Oh dear, Tesco, oh dear...

Shocking! Not only have they managed to typo the word “Cross”, which might be excused, as it’s a simple letter transposition, but they have quite brutally and hideously abused an innocent apostrophe! Oh, and missed a space between the “S” and the “2″.

I’ll have to eat another hot cross bun or two to calm myself…
