It's The Little Things

It actually doesn't take much to make me laugh since I have the ability to find some small bizarre thing funny most days - it goes along with the ability to walk into large objects, trip over my own feet and generally be a bit of a loop on reality.

Yesterday's highlight was courtesy of the Central Line Train Driver - he obviously decided that corporate speak and annoucements wasn't for him and as we lurched up to Bank and awaited the standard "Mind The Gap" annoucement, things changed. "Please be aware of the space between the platform and the train - it's wide in places" Good for you mate. But it got better with the addition of "well, that's what you get if you tunnel behind the vaults of the Bank of England" Those of us not wearing earphones or engaged in banal and inane (oh and loud) conversations about the merits of boots, exchanged a brief smirk of enjoyment before disappearing beneath papers like commuting hermit crabs. Thank you Non-Conformist Train Driver - you made my Wednesday.

Today's frivolity has come in the form of work. Whilst writing down short codes for files, I had the bizarre experience of receiving a Yoda-like message based on the abbreviations I was working with. Now I know the secret of life, it's thus:

NOR NAG NOT

Insightfulness from work - whatever next.
