A bunch of uninteresting trivial facts

The Macmillans Cancer charity probably did well today.

I bought three of its daffodil badges for ST Davids Day.

Someone logged into my wife's Facebook account from a machine we don't now. Facebook auto-locked the account, so that wasn't a problem. The problem came when I told the wife that she must assume that that email address and password combination was compromised and to reset any passwords that matched. We use LastPass as a password manager on our machines and I assumed (silly me) that my wife was using its random generator functionality ... unfortunately not. 28 websites all sharing the same username and password combination. There's 2 hours of my time gone.

Here's a thing; I dozed off last night with the radio on, and dreamed I heard Gladys Knight singing 'Midnight Train to Georgia' with BBC Tennis correspondent Philip Studd and Neil Harmon of The Times. At the time, I attributed this to having eaten and drunk not wisely but well.

However... :unsure:

Uninteresting trivial fact of the day - the new Pope, Frankie Malvinas I, was born on the same day as Tommy Steele!

17th of December 1936, fact fans.

There would be far less crime if Spiderman's super-power was shooting spiders from his hands rather than webs.

I now listen to Classic FM in my car. It makes any journey seem either i) an epic voyage or ii) a really chilled out affair.

Sealed the deal when yesterday lunch time they played the Superman theme at the most opportune moment. It's also good for putting names to "aww yeh I know this tune from somewhere".

It is a very good station for driving to.

The real music is on Radio 3 though.
