Stephen Brooks 2002-08-27 15:17:48 | Err I just saw a really DULL episode of DangerMouse or at least part of it They had obviously run out of plotline or something because everything took AGES there was a long pointless bit involving the mouse running towards a door, for example And the last I looked they were trapped in a room full of pillows and sneezed occasionally that was Dull also they had this really STUPID crow with a large beak actually the beak was probably the best-acted part Err there's a guy on the muon1 thing called Belmarduk. "Belmarduk"? I mean ERR that's pretty strange whichever way you break it up. Belmard UK would leave one wondering what a Belmard was Belmar Duk would be a badly-spelt duck called "Belmar", which I suppose is acceptable (as we don't currently have the tecnology to determine what ducks' real names are) Errr but in that case I wonder how many other ducks have an interest in particle physics Well I suppose all ducks could actually be called "Quack" which would really explain a lot, come to think of it But it would be rather confusing Hmmm the beginning of the Room101 introuction sequence is SO INSPIRED it starts with a fade from black into a red thing with a hole in it and you think "What the hell is that?" And it rotates away with odd lighting and turns out to be a traffic cone falling down some sort of air-conditioning shaft And then you have random and rather less amusing objects, but the sequence ends by a garden gnome smashing into a metal plate with "Room 101" written on it Genius. I also have a 0.02 Euro coin here It's got an odd groove round it so that you can slice it longways into two thinner coins which I can only presume must be the 0.01 Euro denomination I expect the Germans and Irish here will know about that too Though not the Swiss Errr Switzerland must be an odd place. All I know about it is that it's got mountains, odd stuff to do with banks, half a particle accelerator and some very obsessive distributed-computing users there. Oh, and some chocolate factories. Actually it sounds quite cool Now I can hear the geese honking again They must be very LOUD seeing as they're 1/4 mile away Either that or somehow there are some geese much closer to here that are honking that's quite worrying actually I'm going to have to look out of my window now.
