sawylOddment the first: a packet of sandwiches in a vending machine with six 5 pence pieces stuck to the front. Obviously easy to stick change to the produce than to change the price settings on the machine.
Oddment the second: a conversation with my optician in which they gave my six months worth of contact lenses and told me I had three months to wear them before the next lot show up because, apparently, it's not possible to prevent the next lot turning up in January. I think I might start wearing two pairs at a time.
Oddment the third: listening last night's Late Junction, I can't decide whether the bombarde is the coolest instrument in the world or the most annoying. Whatever, Bataille et Le Meut's CD Bombarde et Orgue is nothing if not intriguing.
Oddment the fourth: via Boing Boing, Palin's crib sheet for the vice-presidential debate.
Oddment the fifth: again via BB, yet more proof, if more were needed, that people are dumb.
