Weird

Eddie Mair | 13:55 UK time, Monday, 16 October 2006


More cards arrive: this is from Pauline Davey. The caption on the back says Feminism encourages Kulturrecycling.

Next, Aperitif wonders "Could it GET any more pointless?" on the back of a card from the DVLA which advertises easy ways to tax your vehicle.

And Enoch Ramsbottom writes of "Nick Clarke's old train set". If there's a lot of interest I could describe the four stations shown...

    I'm still waiting for the card which was a piece of card to be displayed. C'mon Eddie, you know we want to see it! (The card, that is, not the... Oh'eck! I guess I'd better stop digging the hole now....)

    You know that in less than 24 hours there will be 300 million US citizens. Should we ask to borrow a few happy ones to give Eddie his good news story?
    Click me (Ian) for a link to the US census.

    What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

    Great cards! It strikes me that Enoch Ramsbottom is Enoch OF Ramsbottom. 'Tis a bit difficult to tell, but I'm fairly sure that the top right is the level crossing in Rammy. Am I right Ted?

    Here's an idea, which I expect we've all had, but anyway - Eddie could read out the population at the beginning of PM, and then again at the end.

    That would be instructive and nearly pointless...

    AndyCraVisibleStrap,

    Is it a stick? (but, no - that's "brown and sticky"... hmmm...)

    Nearly as charming as you!

    I wanted to say 'Carrot'!!!

    Don't tell anyone but one of my best friends is a trainspotter. Please supply descriptions of the stations so I can feed his sick obsession.

    (He is also seriously good on a bass guitar, despite bad punk haircut and weird taste in teeshirts.)

    I'm listening...

    That would be David Dickinson wouldn't it?

    A carrot is right. Though David Dickinson is probably funnier.

    Once I'd worked out that Appy is a girl, my mental picture was just like the lady in the bath. Including the hair in a towel.

    Bizarre...

    And before anyone asks, no I don't look like the 2 women in the Kulturrecycling postcard at the top of this blog.

    Much, much uglier. ;)

    Fifi - I'm afraid I don't look anything like the girl in the towel (is it Jodie/Jemma Kidd?) either. Fifi is such a pretty name - I imagine you have floaty clothes and frills and curly wisps, no?

    And thank you again Andy! You're certainly covering all potential outlets!
