Why did #Google #Wave die? Because few people really need to collaborate much, and none do so naturally. It's an old struggle tween IT & Bus
It was very clever of dentists to outsource the routine, painful drudgery of their job to dental hygienists!
Enjoying all Beethoven Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall. To be broadcast on BBC Four on Friday evening.
Favourite daughter's last day of school today, so I guess summer has definitely begun.

Long line outside O2 shop on Chiswick Hg Rd this morning as iPhone 4 goes on sale.
For 1st time ever my train was too crowded to get on. Conclusion? New government already ruining the transport system!
I wonder if The Queen stays up late to watch the election results come in?
It feels like a cross between a science fiction movie and a time warp!
Weird day. All UK airports closed due to plume of ash from Icelandic volcano, and first EVER prime ministerial TV debate to be held tonight.
Wow. Conservative campaign worker outside tube station again this morning! Still no sign of Labour. #ge2010

Today's Marks & Spencer ad: "Don't forget the roses, Cupid."
Review of iTunes OEDictionary app: "Some of the words are really hard, but the book helpfully explains each one of them as it goes along."
Absurd: In the US if you don't drive, you can still go down to your local DMV office and get a driver's licence that says you don't drive!
Streamed Mesrine Part 1 onto TV last night. French biopic on criminal Jacques Mesrine. 1960s Quebec prison system inhumane. (Better on DVD)

London has inch of snow, but all 3 Underground lines in the west are barely working. Taking the bus all the way to work for the first time.
District line train on time; result happiness. District line train 8 minutes late; result complete misery. With apologies to Dickens.
Underground slowly breaking down this morning. So took bus. Top floor windows blocked by frost. Had to use iPhone Maps app to track progress

To quote the Gershwins, it's "A Foggy Day in London Town" this morning.

Nightmare on London Underground District Line this week. For every train that stops at my station, 7 jets land at Heathrow. Improve trains!
