It’s all gone a bit quiet on here lately! Time to spice things up with the story of my day out…
For the uninitiated, I am a geek, interested in roads. I (and like-minded people, who can be found here at SABRE) were mortified two years ago to discover that the Powers That Be were planning to get rid of one of the most-discussed anomalies on the road network. It’s a small road called the A6144(M) which is a motorway but was only a piddly two-lane thing. Oodles of info here.
On Wednesday night it was closed and all the motorwayness removed. Noooo! So I set out to get some little memento to keep for posterity, on behalf of SABRE.
We went to the depot, asked around, got passed to contractors and subcontractors, had to get someone out of bed who had been working there over night, and ended up scrambling around on the back of a works truck in piles of metal poles and electrical equipment. But I did it! Ha!
Saved, cleaned up and residing in my living room. A good day’s work.

From the Perry Bible Fellowship, an internet comic that’s so damn good it gets printed in the Guardian on Fridays! Hooray!

I have a list of things to do that’s about this long today:
———————————————————————————————
And it’s all meant to start with going in to Manchester and getting some things. But it’s raining and nastybad outside and I don’t like it and I can’t go anywhere because the station is 15 minutes away and I’d get wet on the way there.
So instead I’m sitting here writing nonsense to post to the internet, like anyone actually cares. They don’t. You don’t, do you? Sitting there all warm in whatever place you’re in where you are? No, you don’t give a flying mack for my sad predicament.
Truly tis a sad day.

I have just – under pain of being called names – shown this to my housemates Mark and Hazel and……they liked it! Lots! They said it was funny! They were impressed by our dedication and ingenuity! Mark said the humour was universal! Hazel could understand Al’s mumbled Detectometertron lines! Oh my god! And more than that…
They both want their own copy!
I need a lie down.

I’m sitting here, just home from watching my housemate’s avant-garde play (she’s a performing arts student), and so maybe my head is too full of weird to work out what’s going on here. But I’m just wondering if I should be saying anything in particular. Like
particulate emissions
or
Radio Rentals
Or is it more freestyle than all that?
And where’s all the archive shizzle* going to fit? I suppose it goes in the archive. I think I’m just thinking too avant-garde right now.
*I’m gangsta.
