Regarding Northern Rock, the whole thing a year ago was all a mistake. In Bristol, there's a branch of Northern Rock next door to a sandwich shop. Some bright spark from the local paper obviously saw the queue for the sarnies and thought it was people queueing up to take their money out. Hence the run on the bank - all caused by innocent bystanders waiting to pick up their BLT.

I want to know more about BF's hoaxes especially as my dog's pedigree name 'Franlkin's Benjamin' may explain a few things.

Septics do have a sense of irony. Chandler from Friends, Dr Cox from Scrubs, everyone in MASH, Niles from Frasier. It's just that they have a lower proportion of these wonderful people.


There are some things money can't buy!

One Friday night in the pub many years ago I managed to convince one of my friends that the government was going to metricate time as part of its commitment to joining the Common Market.

100 seconds in a minute
100 minutes in an hour
20 hours per day (ten in the morning and then in the afternoon)
10 days in a week, with a three-day weekend

We'd only had decimal currency for about eight years by then and the metrication of weights & measures was in progress so it didn't seem to be too much of a flight of fancy at the time.

The biggest hoax of the last 12 months must have been the Chiefs supporters' claim that they would be a shoe-in for promotion.
