The Unmistakeable Smell of a Soggy Doggy
Jul. 13th, 2007 03:00 pmSo it's raining again. No change there then. I guess five days of continual sunshine was just too much to ask for really. Ho hum. Shame I have a half-hour walk in it to get to the railway station. I'll be one soggy doggy indeed :-(

On a completely unrelated note, one thing that's been intriguing me of late is graffiti. A lot of the time it's just plain ugly but some of the weirdest, funniest stuff I have ever read has been daubed on the side of buildings or on the back of toilet doors.
My own personal favourites include:
"Free speech takes away liberties raise house prices" (on the side of a building site in Cambridge)
"Play toilet tennis: Look Left" (then on the other side of the toilet cubicle) "Look Right" (some toilets, somewhere)
"ANARCHY RULES" (underneath which someone else had written) "no it doesn't, that's the point" (in the History Department toilets at the University of Cambridge)
I'm sure there are loads of other amusing examples I've seen but they don't spring to mind at the moment.

Anyways I'm just about to head down to the Leeds Minimeet now. My train gets into York at 16:47, leaves there at 16:58 and arrives at Leeds at 17:23. We're meeting up around 18:00 but it is flexible - the band doesn't start until about 21:00 - so come down at any time really. Just give me a ring and I'll arrange a rendezvous. I'm looking forward to seeing you :-)
