A BMW In A Pothole

Not something you see everyday I must admit, so yes, if I was a local resident, I think I'd take my kids along to have a look at it, after all it is a BMW stuck in a pothole by a mini roundabout on the A320.

One local resident helpfully points out that its not actually the first time this has happened, identifying the fact that this particular pothole is bit of a health and safety risk, one that surely Surrey County Council should prioritise and fill in? He goes on to state that 'everyone knows that you are going to get this around this time of year', so it's no wonder that the council in Surrey have paid out more in damage to cars that any other in the UK, over £600k in the last two years. Tsk.

For more information about the hole, and the incident, read the report on Get Surrey.

Takes me back to the Chase High School, Mr Rawlings's and the Hydrogen mixing with Oxygen in a tin can experiment that left dents in the ceiling.

Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 2 : Radiohead "Creep"

It's not very important, but it was recently dawned on me - how much Radiohead's seminal "Creep" sounds like The Hollie's "The Air That Your Breathe".

Infact, so much so that Thom Yorke credits Phil Everley on their version.

 Another to be filed under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals (Shits Copy)" I suppose.

 The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe"


 Uncanny. Only so many notes to go around I suppose.
