Run Silent

Herself regular complains that I “sneak up” behind her (for which read “walk up making my normal level of noise”) and make her jump because she hasn’t heard me approaching.
Today as I walked to the train station, I was reminded of this by two people, both of whom jumped as I walked past them. One even emitted that kind of shocked “squeak” noise that’s actually quite comical. I suppose seeing someone as they come past you, walking fast enough that you could perhaps take it to be jogging/running, when you haven’t heard any noise from them, is kind of surprising.
There’s no real relevance to this, it was just something odd for today.
Off topic. Have you seen the new Thomson Local ad on tv? It reminds me of someone but I just can’t remember who it is.

Hmmm, Spam comment or not? I can’t decide…
It’s not honest – trust me
It’s just a link to an ad on their site. Obviously you haven’t seen it on tv otherwise . . .
Have added real name and email plus a URL!
I think that is definately spam.
Why not visit http://ulterior.me.uk
Tell Tom Coates. As you know he had some problems with Cillit Bang comment spam. I think there’s a good case for bloggers boycotting any products they see being advertised in comment spam.
I’ve just had a comment on the Ulterior from the first comment poster. He argues that it wasn’t spam–rather he found the big rabbit looking rather familar. Go figure.
