As anyone will know from previous comments involving randomness, exploring and Doctor Who there's little I love more than finding interesting things in the every day world. When I do I try and record them in some way - for those who look at my Flickr you'll have seen some random photos amongst the artistic (get me) ones. An easier and more available way is to write things down - or scribble them in haste. There's very little order to this method though, and I currently have a large pile of notes from years of doing this. So as people were complaining (I feel loved) that I hadn't written anything for what experts are calling a long time, I felt I could share some of these notes. Allowing me to finally bin the papery bastards.

A note written after seeing a sign in college:

Sign when a cleaner was mopping the floor. Had the instructions in English and another language. In English "Wet Floor", in the other language "Pissa"

A quote from an unnamed source:

"I don't mind disabled people, I just don't like to listen to them."

One note has a random email address, and the reminder next to it tells me to ask them if they had sex with one of my friends. Who shall remain nameless for legal reasons.

Some quotes from my friend Helen, which never made it to Facebook:

"I thought I was sobering up, until I put toothpaste on my face"

"You dress American and look American, give me a f**king cookie!"

My room mate last year had the surname Wenkenbach. He knew what bach meant, but not wenken. So his explanation of his name was:

"Wenken-stream"

Which I clearly found funny enough to write down.

On the 26th of April 2006 I apparently wanted to organise a party.

Some more anonymous quotes:

"I want to make a donkey out of pink underwear."

"Liv Tyler looks too much like Steve Tyler to me."

"Penis pumps, £100 and women can use urinals!"

"Don't violate my elephant... does anyone want to have sex with me?"

"Scott is a professional Scotsman" (I think I can guess who said this)

"No nipples is better than bum nipples" (heard in Sheffield Uni)

What kind of people do I hang out with?

I've got "lecturer using an umbrella" written on a post-it and no idea what that means.

On a train I saw the notice "laptops and mobile phones only". What the hell else did they expect people to plug in?

Erm:

"Cowlander - highland cattle fight"

More somtime soon!
