Anyone that can see the BT tower should look at it at 8pm tonight.
It's turning into a giant lightsaber apparently.

I think you'll find
that my use of the word 'chutnermonger' exempts me from negative judgement, here.

I really wish I'd actually read the link rather than just click blindly.
I can hardly blame you that I just had 'Angela Merkel is an unfuckable lard arse' up on my screen as people walked by.

This has reminded me that I once convinced someone that road signs and SatNavs
Gave slightly different distances to London destinations because Maps were measured to that monument outside Charring Cross Station and SatNavs measured to the BT Tower.

This is why Great Portland Street is so called, because they wanted it to have the initials GPS.

With hindsight, that person was a moron for believing me.


edit: Bollocks, that particlar post isn't what reminded me, I replied to the wrong one

you might have had me, up to Great Portland Street.
Is't london measured from a stone in Trafalgar square?
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 15 Sep 2011, 16:51, Reply)

Oh, I don't know.
I did actually think the bit about it being measured to Charring Cross was true, but thinking about it that's just something my Dad told me once that I never checked out.

Given that this is the man who took me womble spotting, I probably shouldn't trust him.

Was the Womble in his trousers?
Although a quick Google reveals he was probably right about Charring cross.
