And no library has a self replicating book. ย Got to wait for DNA data storage I suppose.

Potholes are getting worse according to motoring organisations. There are now considerably more holes in Blackburn which has a "new" council area Blackburn and Darwen.

In the lyrics of Darling Nikki by Prince (no, not that verse, don't worry mods)

ย 

I looked all over, all I foundWas a phone number on the stairsIt said, "Thank you for a funky timeCall me up whenever you wanna grind"

Phone numbers can't say things. They're just numbers. The phone number did not say this, or anything else.

The claim is made that "they" were were not only justified, but also ancient. However, text alignment has only been a thing since the advent of moveable type. Even stretching to the very beginnings of type, still leaves us just outside the range considered to be ancient history.

In MGB-GT Richard Thompson sings:

"Hard top handy in case of the weather, I don't care if it rains for ever".

Of course that is only applicable to the MGB Roadster, not the GT.

The brilliant Mr Thompson also famously sings about a 1952 Vincent Black Lightning as if it were a road bike. They were race bikes, Richard.ย  '1952 Vincent Black Shadow' would have been equally as good, I feel, and be more feasible.ย
