After a filthy, arduous bus journey home, I'm looking forward all the more to swimming in the Øresund next week.
The bus was packed. I sat to the right on the top deck, on a forward-facing seat, with an empty, single, side-on seat right in front of me, behind the stairwell. At each stop, people appeared at the top of the stairs, looked around for an empty seat, then dipped back down again.
No-one saw the empty seat, so it remained empty for the duration of the journey. It struck me that no-one could see it because it just wasn't what they were looking for.

I've noticed from the stats on this site, that I get many referrals from search engines.
On this site I've listed the BBC's 100 Big Read books, one of which is Animal Farm.
I've also listed a selection of porn from my work inbox.
I'm delighted to have people visit my site in the hope of finding "animal porn farm". I welcome you all.

I think this has been going on for years now, or perhaps it's more noticeable on email.
But yes, there seems to be a trend to use the phrase ASAP as an order, rather than a request.
It usually means As Soon As Possible.
And that might just be next week.
If you want something doing NOW (and I don't mean Never Open Wide), why don't you say it?

A new game to play on the tube: porcine or pregnant?
If the answer's pregnant, please do give up your seat.

A and I have pondered why it is that even tho we know full well that Mexicans regularly mince themselves whilst working to provide 'the West' with cheap food, we do so little to change these practices. And that it's far worse to know and do nothing, than not to know at all.
So is it a gene that makes you get off your arse to do something? Perhaps there's a nice, neat tablet we can take?
My £4.70 contribution a month to FoE probably just about covers their marketing pen-buying bill, but I guess it's a start.
This is my clarion parp.

Sometimes, when London is this hot, the city feels smaller than other days, and it makes me feel like Alice in Wonderland.
