    No, not again...

    If I hear someone else tell me

    (i) It will be 1-23 on the 4th of the 5th of 06
    (ii) 'May the fourth be with you'

    I shall commit a crime for which I may have to renounce my Conservative Party membership

    Y'know that's just reminded me of an entry I was going to make in my blog. A lady friend from Oslo SMSed me at around midnight a few days ago to tell me this, in Norwegian, so I had to wake up fully and get a dictionary out to understand it. Y'see I thought it was something important.

    Grrrrrrrrrrr

      The slightly different, but still butt-clenchingly boring one that I am hearing is that it will be 01:02:03 on 04/05/06 today.

      Do I look bovvered? etc...

                Reminds me of the time I did some Y2K compliance testing for Nortel.
                I eventually contacted one of their Israeli customers (name escapes me)
                who hadn't made any provision at all and my boss (permie days) was getting really worried.....(you're ahead of me right?)

                The customer eventually told me not to worry as 'this is the year 5760'.

                RS.
