I've liked noticing the solidification of the internet recently, it seems to be becoming more like a thing and less like a service or process.
It's cheap, a commodity, you market it like fish and chips or pizza.
You can get it with vouchers.
Or it's just floating about like those kite marks you get on car windscreens, or like the visa/amex stickers in shop windows. At the edge of our attention.

Sam was kind enough to send me these pictures, which made me very happy. Especially as I'm only called Russell because a while after I was born (and christened Mark Russell) my Dad discovered there was a little steam locomotive called Russell.

This sign has bothered me for a while. And today I decided to apply Scamp's marvelous Rule Of Dicketts' Finger. Seems to do the job.
I know you've all been waiting with baited breath, so here it is: all the channels on the TV at the Hotel Tryp Bellver, Palma De Mallorca.
Is someone at Border's trying to tell us something with the books they put next to each other?
