Phone Merton Council to ask a question. Straight through to answerphone message which says: “Please do not leave a message, we don’t check them on this number.” Then the automated recording kicks in to say: “Please leave your message after the tone.” *beep* WTFFMATE?

Stephen Fry on Apple’s iPad for TIME magazine:

Jobs leans back on his chair, feet up on the table, a welcoming grin on his face. My first question is a nervous babble that lasts five minutes. He listens with patient amusement and answers, “Yes.” Or possibly, “No.” I cannot remember what the question was. I had forgotten to turn on the recorder. I do so now, abashed.

Via bsag:

I was listening to an album of music played on Medieval instruments (by Sym) and suddenly remembered the music used in the trailer for the BBC Four Medieval Minds series. Here is Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’ arranged for rackett, tef, shawm, rebec, viol and recorder. The graphics aren’t half bad, either. If they made a whole album of covers like this, I’d buy it like a shot.
