BOOJUM!: Normal Service Restored. I Hope!

Yesterday's Hideous Technical Deformations
This has happened before with BOOJUM! A problem with navigating causes text to change font and pictures to disappear. The cursor also picks up the format of a random photograph and caption, so when attempts are made to restore fonts or reposition the picture or add the caption again - the cursor dumps that formatting wherever it rests. This can render the whole blog unreadable; luckily most of yesterdays could be saved instead of starting from scratch.
Plus I picked up a stone in my shoe at work.

Bus Posters
As you already know, these are an absolute boon to Conrad, given that they change frequently, are common and catch his eye because they move at speed. Some companies are letting the side down, though - yes I'm looking at you, Stagecoach, and JPTransport as well. No posters on your buses? Lax! Very lax!

Stageroach. Close enough

Where was I? Oh yes. A bit thin today, nothing really meaty for Conrad to get his teeth into.
"Want More Great Taste?" asked the advert for either Coke or Pepsi, Conrad couldn't be bothered remembering which, because he doesn't drink either. Well, okay, I empty the dregs at the bottom of the bottle so we can chuck it and make room in the fridge.
Then there was "Chip Chip Hooray" - McCains Oven Chips that one. I can't really ladle invective on McCains for their oven/microwaveable chips. I love chips as much as the next Hom. Sap., especially home-made ones, But! doing that makes the whole Mansion smell like a chippy for the next day.
There was "The Lego Movie" on a big advertising hoarding. What can I say? Every parent who ever had a child has, or had, a big collection of Lego bricks. Just as certainly they have also stood on one of those selfsame bricks.
Bloody hell they hurt. RIgid plastic with sharp edges and sharp corners, cunningly coloured to camouflage against the carpet. I hope cinemas showing "The Lego Movie" enhance the experience by casting buckets of bricks up and down the aisles and forcing viewers to go about barefoot.

There are hundreds of images about stepping on a Lego. Clearly I have tapped into something primordial here.

Rainbows
The best thing about rainbows is that they're free.
No, sorry, the best thing about rainbows is that they're beautiful. ~~And free~~.
No! the best things about rainbows is that they're natural and beautiful (also free).
Here is a local example from yesterday early evening:

Altogether now - "Paint the whole world with a -"

Just think. Natural, beautiful, occuring at random dependent on the weather and CANNOT BE PREVENTED! (also free). Guess who hates rainbows? President Putin, apparently. Zippy and Bungle are already on a list of personae non grata ...

Bread Substitute. Hmmm. No.
I came across a recipe that claimed to be akin to a substitute for bread. Conrad scoffed heartily at this, since he consumes much in the way of bread on a daily and weekly basis. The recipe used steamed, mashed cauliflower

The Cauliflower Conservation Club were too late for this victim -

mixed with egg and cheese and herbs and baked in the oven until brown

What can I say? Brown.

It can't have been too bad - there was none left by the time Conrad returned from work this evening.
I wonder what the result would be if boiled potato were substituted for the cauliflower? You know, I feel an experiment coming on.

A Little More Musical Criticism
Ah me. I do apologise if there are any Simon and Garfunkel fans out there who fizz with anger at Conrad's poisoned jibes at the duo's expense. Don't worry, I will get around to twitting other bands, promise.
Well well well. "Baby Driver" How do the lyrics go, Paul?

"They call me baby driver -"

STOP RIGHT THERE!
