# Woo - I'm a star
one of my cow-orkers saw me on the telly on some late night Channel 4 thingy.
I was on a bicycle shouting, so it was probably Critical Mass last summer, judging by his description.

These things come back to haunt you...

# is that a warning?
No more TV for me shouting about marmots?

# But you knew the cameras
were there, didn't you?

This was just me (and lots of others) on the street doing stuff. I don't think I meant haunt in a bad way, just an allusion to the way we archive _everything_ these days, so you can trip over events that involve yourself, but that you'd personally forgotten.

For example, a few months ago, I turned on a random cable channel that had temporarily appeared on my decoder, never watched it before and the screen was instantly filled with footage of my dad driving a steam train. This is going to happen more often.

# Last
time I went to Critical Mass I got into an argument with a woman driver who kindly finished off our conversation by running my bike over....

# It scares me when that happens
were you there when someone's bike got stuck under a Merc outside the Houses of Parliament?
I've never seen the police arrive so fast, and from nowhere...

Actually, last time I was arguing with a car that was trying to run me (and a few others over), the situation was 'de-fused' by a bloke in wheelchair joining in and sitting in front of the guy.

# a bit like AOL
but a [little] more mature.

Sad really, but all they are doing are reproducing what the internet already does but in a more structured way.
Unless their content shows up in search engines, they've cut themselves off.
Maybe if they could rework it so you could add peer-review edited comments to *any* web page that would work better?

In fact that would be really interesting - but no doubt would degenerate with stupid name calling and spam (usenet really) before it achieved anything useful.

# add peer-review edited comments?
I remember some people trying this. And yes, it turned into graffiti.

# Morning
I've been wondering all weekend who would win in a fight between the Senokot, "I've just had a good clear out" woman and the Immodium "I don't need to crap in the bushes" woman.
Any thoughts?

# Oddly, I have been ruminating on a similar topic
recently. I wonder if they are actually the same person and if the combination of the two just balances her out. Like a combination of uppers and downers, as it were...

# Yes
I can't decide. I think it hinges on who has got the bad shit, why and when.
I know what you mean about the fine balancing act. I wonder what would happen if they took loads of both stuff at the same time.
