Hoses of the Holy in the Parallel Universe

August 24, 2004

Big Surprise:

Britain a nation of boozers. When you consider that, while I know a couple of people with what you might call outside interests, many other people I know seem to treat getting pissed up as the only thing you can do outside work. But all that aside, my favourite bit was this:
Macmillan aso found that UK workers are obsessive about their coffee mugs at work, with four in ten refusing to use one belonging to anyone else, while one in ten will email their colleagues if their favourite mug goes missing.


Which puts me in mind of those motorway matrix signs and their office noticeboard mentality. So comedy sketch idea #643: you're driving down the motorway and you see the usual matrix messages: "DON'T DRIVE TIRED," and "SPRAY SLOW DOWN," and "QUEUE AHEAD." And then you see one that says, "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY MUG?"
