1. Spotted in the London Lite: Jamie Bell quoted as saying that he would never go nude on stage like Daniel Radcliffe did, because "he's got a lot more balls than I have". Which raises the question: does Jamie Bell have no balls? Or does Daniel Radcliffe have more than two? I didn't see the production so can't comment. Anyone?
2. The Bishop of London said that people should stop using the memory of Diana "to score points". I'm not sure what game he's talking about there, but it can't be Scrabble. "Diana" would be a rubbish word to play. It's mainly vowels. Even on a triple word score you could get a maximum of 18 points. Ironically, "Queen" is quite a good word to play.
3. At Oxford Circus station last night the fire alarm went off and a recorded voice began to repeat on a loop the announcement: "Will Inspector Sands please go to the operations room immediately". I was amazed that they're still using that name. Surely we all know what it means by now? It's been used for years as a "code" for a fire alarm, so as not to frighten the public. The fact that the fire alarm was going off at the same time was also a bit of a give away.
I think they should bring the system up to date, use a few different names. How about Morse or Wexford? That would make everyone feel safe. Or even better: Gadget. "There might be a fire, but it's about to be put out by an idiotic half-robot-half-man-thing, albeit in an amusingly haphazard way, and really because his clever niece knows how to use a fire-extinguisher!"
