Paranoid
Not quite on topic, but as Che says, it's nearly Thursday....

I had a call a couple of weeks ago from a bloke called Gordon, who said he represented the local self-help association for sufferers of paranoia. They were holding a function to raise money for the association and wanted a band to play at it, hence the call to me. I said I'd check with the boys in the band and asked him to call back in a day or two.

A couple of days later, the drummer happened to be round at my house, and I was telling him about the gig, when the phone went. I answered it.

"Hello, this is Gordon from the paranoia association", said the caller.

"Oh, hi Gordon", I replied, "We were just talking about you."

He put the phone down.

Fantastic



Although I can't help suspecting urban legendness, it still made me chuckle.

That's the sort of timing I wish I had! Knowing me (and half the human race) I'd have thought of that a few hours later...

Damn!

Yes OK
That story may contain some made up bits....!

It's Wednesday afternoon though, what else do you expect from me?

And funnily enough I was using a Bunsen burner earlier, but have just been using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. So there.

the paranoia association
aren't anywhere near as hard to work with as the tourettes association.

They invited me to speak at their annual meeting, then swore at me the whole time!

Reminds me of the Emo Philips gag adapted...
Some people say I'm paranoid, but the other day, I was walking innocently down the street, minding my own business, when a roofer, fixing new tiles on the roof of one of the houses in the street shouted out: "CHE GRIMSDALE IS A FUCKING MORON"...















...in morse code.
