• Mood: disquiet

Reasons to be cheerful

1. The BBC's "indoor Olympics games. They're written in a very chirpy style and come perilously close to breaching the boundaries of sensibility. Browse soonest before RoSPA (a charity about Preventing Accidents, oddly enough) declare that they exceed the mandate. Amused me, though.

2. The existence of blairstripone.

2bis. The BBC News featured a few words from a Major Duncan McSporran today, whose accent was refreshingly un-Scottish. I shall hold my tongue rather than complain about unlikely names in fiction at least once in the future.

3. This joke (source) which will only make sense to the British - and those of a certain age at that:
Q. What are the four most dangerous words in the English language?
