I’m still in those upside-down parts, and my very unreasonable wife rarely lets me spend the $25(!) required to use the hotel wifi connection, so am utterly out of the loop and of no use to man nor beast. But, I have now managed to grab some scraps of internets and was catching up on some emails when I saw this one from a friend:
So, a chap here left his coat on the train. He rang up and reported it and was told that they had indeed found his coat. However, it is now in a bomb-proof container, located in Bristol. They cannot remove it from said container and return it to him, lest it explodes, unless he goes to pick it up in person. Bombers of late being noted for not wanting to blow themselves up, it's presumed that if he turns up in person it can't be a bomb. I see no flaws in this logic.
Indeed. Carry on with the good work there boys.

How do they know the container is bomb-proof? You'd think confirming that it is might damage it.
Does all lost property end up in such containers now? What a sad country this is - no safety and no trust in out fellow citizens. Thanks to NuLab's underhand immigration policy, with few checks on the "students" allowed in, most of the would-be bombers live in the UK
i hope you are enjoying down under.
Ta, and I am.
The place is blisteringly hot but eminently tolerable.
Had a hangover yesterday though and the heat was not my friend.
Blogging will have a resurgence shortly.
i wouldn't bother hurrying back if i were you, it's cold wet and windy. :)
