I was aware that the clocks were changing (and actually ended up reminding my mum of that fact... how things change!  ) but the excess of white wine and raw fish last night resulted in my waking up with the alarm at 7 (really 7) - church was at 9 in a tiny church about 30 minutes walk away - and turning the alarm off again. But that's not a grumble. I'd like to grumble about my new shower gel, which I bought on the understanding that it was going to be lime-flavoured. It smells vile. Like a synaesthesic's migraine. |

Lime-fragranced...surely? My mother went to Church an hour later this morning so this must be a genetic thing I suppose.  I've caught up with myself now anyway - washing on line and generally getting sorted.... |

I must have a touch of spring madness - I read that first as "washing online" and had a curious vision of a webcam over the tumble-drier... takes all sorts, I guess!  |

I'm waiting for the next version of Windows, Yahoo or AOL Messenger to include a teleporting facility, so that I can offer someone a drink on there just by clicking the equivalent of 'Send file' and the aforementioned beverage will be beamed up to a peripheral adjacent to the correspondent's computer. |

I think I would prefer the same in reverse... |

I'd much prefer the ability to join the person in drinking the drink, then returning through the handy little window back to my own house.

Just make sure you have plenty of fly-spray around before you try it out. |

As someone who grabs whatever small pleasures are going... ....I always like the ambiguous label on one of the apple-fragranced shampoos. "Wet hair and apply shampoo" Is it an instruction for how to use it or a list of the items you need? |

Drat - another thing to add to my list of things to invent (time machine goes first though) |

Time machine of course - then you can send the matter transporter back to the time when you needed it most. (Along with the plans for the Time Machine).

re time machines, I've read several books about them and, incidentally, one crops up in my sci-fi novel I'm writing and I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
Anyone got a 60 mile long piece of superconducting filiment in their garage going spare?
