zotzHe has an article in the Grauniad today, on the subject of film scripts. A brief excerpt:
A statistician friend told me she had determined this : that the odds of winning the lottery are so small, it does not significantly lower the odds not to have bought a ticket [ . . . ] one might, with equal chance of success, hope to find the winning lottery ticket on the sidewalk
Meanwhile, here at work, very little is working. I shall leave this place in a couple of hours, and return to my wider life, in which very little is working. At least I have consistency on my side.
I realised while watching Near Dark last night that I don't have a copy of the Cramps' version of Fever. This is a serious omission. Also, Jenny Wright, while very pretty, also looks distinctly odd in a way I can't quite put my finger on.
