Day: March 11, 2005

My afternoon was enlivened considerably by an email from Camden council. Nothing to do with the contents of the email, but all to do with the fact that they have configured their email server to show just the sender’s surname in the “From:” field, and this email happens to be about my council tax account, so shows just my account number in the “Subject:” field.

So this missive appears in my inbox as:

From: Prime
Subject: [7 digit number]

I can only presume that “Prime” is the evil robot that has taken over the council, and this email contains my instructions for the next phase.

on my way to work

It was only this morning, and I think the jumbo red nose stuck to the entrance might have been the give away, that I realised why there’s been crowds of youngsters hanging around the old lambeth college every night for the last week as I walked past it on my way home from work. Turns out, as the InterWeb confirms, that after it closed down as a college last year, it was bought by Endemol (or perhaps it closed down as a college because it was bought by Endemol), and is therefore the location for filming of Celebrity Fame Academy. So if you were ever wondering where to go to tell Patrick Kielty what you think of him, now you know.

And before I forget:
