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

I don't think we paid anything in the past, or asked their consent.

I'm fascinated by the 'love your curves this season' ad. I'm quite partial to the catenary, myself, but sometimes you can't beat a good old sinusoid.

As a photographer, I'm supposed to be enraptured with the Golden Ratio spiral. But every time I see it overlayed on some masterwork by Henri Cartier-Bresson or Richard Avedon I just see B.S.

Sure, it's a pleasant curve, but I find it very unlikely that these anyone composes a photograph precisely along those lines. My suspicion is increased when inevitably, only a few points of interest actually correlate with the curve.

"Have you tried Staples"

"Yes, but they wrecked the whiteboard"

Like salt, you can NEVER run out of post-it notes.

We're forever getting freebies. Post-it notes, not salt.

If you lived next to the ocean, free salt would be endless.

I shudder to think of the times I've had to work with post-it addicts.

"Find a Kidney Smart® Class Near You"

sponsored by DaVita.

This is eerily on target. My doctor didn't like the albumin count in my latest urine test.

'Travel to the Isle of Man by Ferry - the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company'.

That's three different ferry adverts I've had so far...

<BB<

Quite a way by ferry from the Isle of Wight to the Isle of Man...

I get the Experian ads, and ebay at the moment, plus I got a few adverts for the online shop I bought something from recently

An ad this morning was rather too on point.

"Hurricane season is here, are you prepared?" From the Texas Wind Insurance Association.

We didn't have any wind damage here but we did get flooded.

'Southampton Boat Show - September 2017'
There does seem to be a recurring nautical theme... I don't suppose you were so flooded you need a new yacht?

yacht to see how high the water is.

Just a couple of inches in my parents house, ruining the carpets and walls. The interior paneling and insulation will likely need to be cut out and replaced. Some furniture was damaged, but not muchI believe. Some personal items like a box of my father's school annuals are damaged. My mother and I have been pulling up bedroom carpets all day. There will be a lot of work ahead.

I've had Avis car hire and G Suite - whatever that is - some kind of file sharing thing. Neither are remotely relevant to me.

Oh, and just now, an ad for the British Science Festival in Brighton, which I won't go to, but might be marginally more relevant.

'World of Warships - sink the enemy!'
They must realise how fed up I am of all the ferry adverts...
