A series of unexpected events

[jadesfire]

Things you do not expect to see while walking through North Oxford:



Things you do not expect to need in the normal course of your work: a Finnish-English legal dictionary. Damn, but Finnish is a difficult language...

Things you do not expect on walking into the workroom: for the power-assisted door to be neither powered nor of assistant and to hit you hard on the shoulder instead. You also do not expect your colleague to laugh as a result.

Things you do not expect after the August we've just had: the glorious weather this afternoon. That helped somewhat :)

Bwah! We currently have a Superman and (I think) a Batman wandering around town advertising *something*. Of course, town *being* Brighton they hardly attract much attention at all... :-)

Also?
Very Belated Happy Birthday *mwah*

The poor guy was trying to give away car stickers to passing cars, which considering they were doing 20 mph definitely seemed like a job for superman!

*g* thanks, hon

*giggles* You expected Batman instead?

Maybe that'll be tomorrow morning...

JACK FM! It's fate! They really should have found a Captain Jack lookalike, though....

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's a great local radio station, but yes, they really should have thought that one through. Even if they couldn't have done Harkness, I'm sure they could have got a pirate outfit...

Oh my. Superman has really let himself go -- to the point that he forgot to take off his Clark Kent glasses. I agree with the above, maybe one of the numerous fictional Jacks would have been a better promotion? I love the ????!? of the image though. *g*

Glad the weather was nice to you. ♥

Oh dear, I forgot that my current "superman" icon is so grim. And in complete contrast to the last part of my comment. Heh. Here's something cheerier.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Ahem. Maybe this one is better.

Sorry, just wanted to say this icon made me snort my wine.

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

\o/ Wine snortage! I hope your keyboard and/or sinus cavity are okay. That icon invariably makes me smile too.

Jack FM!!! Yay! I miss listening to it. I used to tune in when I visited Crowson. Mainly cos Avon used to do the voiceovers.

For a local radio station, it's really great, and I love their taste in music :)

Finnish may look difficult but at least all the letters are sounded...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Heh, that's useful if you're speaking it. Sadly, if you're trying to get a translation online, you're more or less out of luck - the sites are there, but they don't recognise the words I'm entering :S And I can only find English-Finnish dictionaries in the library, which is definitely less use!

Unexpected Superman is unexpected!

Though I would have been more impressed by Batman too...and suddenly I can't remember if Batman comes out in the day? Maybe Superman just has the day shift?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Very unexpected and so much fun!

That's a good point about Batman. Maybe if I'd gone by later on, I would have got his picture too...
