On the topic of 'Heroes', Boilk, this week I was listening to a great old episode of BBC Radio 4's 'The Chain Reaction' where the mighty Alan Moore was in conversation with Brian Eno. During this excellent half-hour Eno told Moore that whenever he and Bowie had conversations with each other they spoke in the voices of Pete and Dud - 'Think about that the next time 'Heroes' comes on the radio', said Brian. Two days later it did come on, and I couldn't think about anything other than Pete and Dud singing along to it...added to the whole experience.

I was on the phone to my pal in Glasgow a couple of nights ago. He shares a lift with one a couple of workmates, but he's worried because when they go under the River Clyde, he starts to feel a bit uneasy. Sounded to me like he's got carpool tunnel syndrome.

He wouldn't need a lift if he lived in a bungalow.

I remember many years ago car radio signals stopped when the car was driven under a bridge or through a tunnel. Once when I was talking to my husband and he drove under a bridge, I automatically stopped talking......

One of the things you have to do when you go through the Clyde Tunnel, LezLee, is to hold your breath from start to finish. It's reasonably straightforward if you get a clear run, but a traffic hold-up can prove awkward. Always one to amuse the kids in days gone by. I once saw an exhibition in Dundee where there was a great video played on a loop of kids filmed holding their breath at the back of a bus going under the Clyde. So funny!

Under-appreciated gag there....

How does one get a message on this forum without actually writing anything?

The following ended a communication about freedom passes from TfL today:

"Although we have taken reasonable precautions to ensure no viruses are present in
this email, we cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage arising from the use
of this email or its attachments".

And I thought - yes, I must remember always to wear face mask when I'm sending emails. Then I remembered that viruses come in the form of intrusions into computer software as well!

I did not know it was obligatory to register one's appreciation. A wry smile did briefly cross my face but I did not think it worth mentioning, at the time. Move on, please. Nothing to see here . . .
