I'm wearing new du jour wedges today. Is 'my shoes are too heavy' a good enough excuse for being late to work? Enjoying elevated status, on the plus side.

Walking down the stairs at Oxford Circus tube last night; a woman about two steps below me slipped then fell.

The woman in front of her said 'Ooooh, are you OK?'. 'Yes, yes', replied the fallen woman.

To which the first woman replied 'Oooh, I thought it was me that had fallen'.
