I noticed that the manufacturer's name is Schindler, which made me think "Schindler's Lift", and amused me far more than it should have.

What's amused you more than it should have recently?

Down in Holloway
doing some food shopping. An incredibly busty girl working on a fruit n veg stall was shouting:

"MELONS !!! MMEEEE-LLLLL-OOOOO-NNNN-SSSSS !!! MMEEEE-LLLLL-OOOO-NNNN-SSSS !!!"

Made me chuckle...

Terrible isn't it?
It's amazing what the combination of sleep deprivation and the mundanity of work can do to your mind. I nearly smiled at a JMG post.

Last bit may be slightly made of lies

The Schindler's lift thing
has amused me for ages. The first one I saw was in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, of all places.

Shooting Stars has amused me greatly over the last few weeks
and the 'moment of zen' at the end of the Daily Show last night made me snort like a pig

How crap is Lenny Henry though?
Agree that Shooting Stars is pretty untouchable at the moment. The final round is the best :D

Otis lifts...
The great 'rival' to Schindler have an office in Reading.

Make an internal call to the switchboard and the Doris there will answer it with 'Otis Reading'

Tru Faxx!

Schindler Elevator Services,
one of the biggest clients we had at our old place, but they always paid at 90 days instead of 30.
