h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This could easily be a 2,000-word day.

Mind you' it's all nitpicking analysis of a late-C.19th judgment. Still, I am on a roll.

I also got some £££ work done this morning.

I am going to Uni. tomorrow, in the morning, for a while.

Peet phoned. He phoned yesterday. And at the weekend too. He is a demon for communication, a real chat fiend.

I usually ignore calls from Withheld, but have been picking up on them lately as they may be from the hospital re. Susan's hip-op.

Calls from International get accepted then immediately disconnected, on the basis that I am already reluctant enough to take calls from people in Britain.

Quiche and cauli tonight. It was going to be cauli cheese, but we don't have enough of the right kind of cheese, as in a wee bit of cheddar and a bit of brie and some danish blue with a touch of parmisan ain't going to make the classic cauli cheese.

We watched Dead Man's Shoes last night. Susan was dubious but seemed to end up enjoying, or, perhaps, (word signifying 'following plot not uninterestedly without complaint'), it. Paddy Considine was ver' good - it was only on checking IMDB afterwards that I discovered that he was Obnoxious Detective 1 in Hot Fuzz and Inspector Witcher in The Suspicions of...

In Embra on Saturday, I may buy a bottlie Madiera.

I have no beef with PORFS or with RF generally as long as it is not threatening me, and is not too actively making the world a worse place. I am laegely ambivalent. It is irrelevant. It does not trouble me. I am even sanguine with bishops in the House of Lords, on the basis that a group which has a long-standing institutional link to the constitution, and is made up of professional pontificators, might have a role in such a chamber. The proliferation of RF in the media &c is no problem with me, as it is easily ignored. I cannot undestand the Dawkins/Hitchins/Graylingite clamour as it is just getting worked up over nothing, and in the long run, apathy, not passion, is what kills institutions. But I am pleased to see Smart's bastion in the town centre going down the route of schism, and hope that others will join it.

I got a nice e-mail from a student this morning.

A bucketty day.

Miah is behing me at her food dish fininshing off the dregs of her breakfast.

Douglas, re the bastion, details please!

As you were, I found it on Google. Nice picture of Dominic.

Leicester Unprepared For Zombies

I imagine that picking them out from the crowd would be the issue.

Readers of Zombie Apocalypse (hiya G.) will know that the UK Government's disaster plan in the event of zombie attack is 'run away screaming.'
