McGhee says he wants to stay at Brighton, but there seem to be some caveats to that desire.

RIP
Giacomo Nobbio, RIP. You have, at some time in your life, probably held one of Sig. Nobbio’s creations in your hand – over the last fifty years, he has been the world’s leading breeder of carnations, creating just about all of the most popular cut-flower varieties in cultivation today.
No lilies on his casket then. -

Current favourite new-to-me weblog: The Flat at the Top of the Stairs, mainly for the high levels of footnote with each post.

One man went to mow
Great excitement in our little house in Ruralville tonight as we use eBay to purchase a lawnmower, finally breaking my duck on successful eBay purchases.
Now to see if it is any good when it turns up. Further bulletins to follow. -
Plain weird
Iapetus has a strange bulge around its middle. Too much beer, I suspect.
Utterly fascinating though – take a look at the JPL pages, particularly this page. Also, look forward to Huygens impacting on Titan in four days from today. -
Extreme farm simulator
I can see Lord Percy laughing Stuart Hall-style at this one. Shoot the UFOs before they can abduct all your cows whilst avoiding the falling bombs – genius!
Meanwhile, I’ll be collating and stapling application forms (just in case my wife or sister-in-law think I’m not doing any work). -
Woolly
I’ve just had a spam mail that has offered me the opportunity (according to the subject line) to "become a mammoth". What a great idea! With my amazing bulk, huge hairy coat and impressive tusks, I could walk around Ruralville striking fear into both of the customers at the post office! I could become a special attraction at the pub to help draw in more custom! I could even carry the shopping home from the supermarket without using a polluting car and provide an ample supply of manure for the garden! It seems like a win-win situation to me – where do I sign up?

Bird Flight
The instructions are all in foreign for this game, but the essence is that you click to make the birdy go up, try to collect the ickle birdies and avoid hitting the clouds or the floor.
Now I must get back to writing exciting contracts and mailing out thrilling application forms, but I thought that I should give you something more interesting to do than watching the rain drops roll down your office window.
