What is the point?

I happen at work about an hour ago to have been waiting on the phone, and flicking around idly as one does, I cleaned out my Askimet Spam folder on this site – the usual thousand-odd.

Getting home, I went to the management panel to clean up a couple of spam comments that had snuck through, and there I found, deposited in the past hour, a further 34 spam comments.

Surely everyone must have some form of spam blocks by now? Why do these things keep coming?

Meanwhile, in a lovely triumph of hope over expectation, seen outside Euston station: a “dispenser” of one of London’s proliferation of free newspapers, chasing after a jog – actually running, in the hope of the jogger taking a copy.

Surely the three afternoon papers aren’t going to survive the winter: most of the poor folk distributing them will surely be down with double pneumonia.
