The BBC Does Tortology.

There was a report in yesterday’s BBC News website regarding the heavy rain and subsequent flooding problems they’ve been getting in Scotland. It showed a picture of what looked like a canal, but was actually – as the caption informed us – a rail line submerged under water. No doubt the extended description was intended to offer some little relief at the knowledge that the rail line was not submerged above water, nor submerged under something more nefarious like beer, chocolate milkshake or tomato ketchup.

And if anybody reading this blog even begins to comprehend my oblique sense of humour, please do let me know. It’s been suggested by a fairly authoritative source – albeit obliquely – that I should make some attempt to feel less insignificant.
