Mordor update:
I went through there a couple of times this weekend, and note the molishments of this fully armed and operational railway station are continuing apace.
The Eye Of Sauron by the Hill Street entrance was running test patterns, and I noticed the blue screen of no video signal had an uneasy brain-melting intensity to it. Not so much that it was insanely bright (it was), but that it was unnaturally monochromatic. Felt like staring at a UV light, without the inability to focus. No good can come of it, I say.
In other news, I noticed they'd installed a video screen running a short animation warning people not to get injured on the escalators at the top of some of the escalators. That should fix it.
And flipping the back wheel of my Brompton under in order to better fit in a semi-crowded lift instigated a discussion of James May amongst my fellow lift-mates, who were presumably Clarkson fans. I was asked what it turned into.
