Okay, I've been very good and worked hard all day. Time to reward myself with a meme.
Post anonymously, give me three clues to who you are, and let's see if I do any better on this than I did on the text message game...

Probably all the better, as judging by my performance at Kit and George's wedding you would have ended up as his husband :)

Date: 2004-06-10 02:36 pm (UTC)The bus started inching forward through the traffic again, then stopped suddenly. I sighed; to do any more would send my stress levels soaring. Instead, I considered getting off and walking, but I couldn’t walk home from here. I’d have to catch another bus after a mile or two, and that would cost money.
My phone beeped, a text message. It wasn’t from anyone in my phone book; I didn’t even recognise the country code, let alone the number.
I smiled, and added the number to my phone book under the name “Euro Roots Poland”.
I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I turned to see it was only an advert changing — you know the sort, where three different adverts are fixed on the sides of a hundred triangular rollers. I looked around me: I was not the only passenger on the top deck, but I was the furthest back and could be mischievious unseen. So I got out my blowpipe, loaded it with a poison dart, opened the window by my side. I stood on the seat and contorted my body so I could get a good aim at my target — the window design purposefully made this difficult. And blew.
At first, I thought I had missed, that the dart would hit the wall on which the advert was mounted, be swallowed up and spat out. But it just caught the bottom of one of the rollers.
The advert quivered. Then it rippled, as if to show another ad. But the picture that it now displayed was not an advert: It was a close-up of a face, eyes closed, smiling contentedly. It was as if Big Brother had been put to sleep.

Date: 2004-06-11 08:05 am (UTC)This sounds like the start of a story, by the way - I haven't a clue what's going on with the Poland thing, but it's intriguing. It's a bit Jeff Noony.

Date: 2004-06-12 06:10 am (UTC)I like the idea of towns sending text messages. They certainly have personalities. Do you think London is male or female?
no subject
Date: 2004-06-12 10:09 am (UTC)Don't know whether that would be male or female. The Thames sounds male (Old Father Thames), but London could be gay, or they might just be good friends...
no subject
Date: 2004-06-13 05:27 pm (UTC)I think London is male, but so is the Thames, so either they're gay lovers or old chums.

Heh - OK, those are probably too easy, but given the length of your friends list I'm sure you'll get quite enough hard ones too.

Sorry I didn't show up to the pub when you were in London, btw. I seem to be clumsily double-booking myself a lot lately. Next time?

My second clue lies in the place of my birth
For it can't be found in this part of the Earth.
