Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

Just A Thought

To the lady who I had a disagreement with earlier. I whole heartedly realise your lipstick was important to you. As I was descending the escalator, a column of commuters hot on my heels, I could see the care with which you were putting it on over your shoulder*. Three important things to note though. First, had you not dropped it, it wouldn't have been on the floor. Secondly, had you not paused at the bottom of the escalator trying to pick it up, thereby causing the man behind you to bump into you, you would not have fallen over. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, whilst I am very sorry for your loss, had I not stepped on your precious lipstick, I would have stepped on you, and trust me, that would have hurt a lot more.

* I mean I could see you putting it on your lips by looking over your shoulder, not that you were smearing it on your shoulder.
