Sinister: Hours after the election and the crime rate's up already

[Mark Hester]

We've had a break-in at work this morning, a window was smashed, a laptop 
stolen and we're all sitting around waiting for the Scene of Crime Officer 
to arrive to dust our desks.  Will he be taking *our* prints too, I wonder?  
They've got mine already, heh heh heh....

We've been given the bizarre instruction that we can touch our computers but 
not our desks, which is why my hands are assuming the pose of Thing from the 
Addams Family as I type.  Tonight I'm going to see the Preston School of 
Industry here in Oxford. Having missed Mr Malkmus when he was over, I might 
as well check out Mr Stairs.  I *think* I've managed to persuade The 
Girlfriend that she wants to go.  Although whether agreeing to go on the 
basis of having heard "Brighten the Corners" for the first time on Wednesday 
amounts to "false pretences" is anyone's guess.

The BBC tell us that Ann Widdecombe is popular with the grassroots on the 
"rubber chicken circuit".  But what on earth is the "rubber chicken circuit" 
when it's at home?  I'm sure rubber chickens aren't nearly as exciting as 
plastic frogs.  I doubt very much if they have their own e-mail accounts, or 
that they can type even (mind you, I'm having difficulty at the moment).

I don't.  But I know how I felt when I first heard Felt.
