Is it bad that I was genuinely beginning to mourn the loss of a USB flash drive today which has been with me throughout school and uni? That is, until I found it in the bottom of my new bag...

Depends on what was on it, and how many Bothans died getting the information.

Let's get this straight - you lost the flash drive and then bought a new bag, inside the new bag was the missing flash drive? Lord be praised, it's a miracle! Or something more sinister.

Sadly nothing like that, I dropped it inside the new bag when I was moving the contents over. And went about the whole day trying to find it.

I lost my old USB stick that had served me since about third form (Year 9) between the end of Sixth form and the start of University, and whilst I was mildly sad to have lost some of the stuff off of it and the physical item, was quite happy to get a new one with more capacity and USB3. The old one might still be around somewhere, and given that it had survived plenty of mishaps up to and including having a door shut on it, I wouldn't be surprised if it were to still work if I managed to find it.

I was on a train probably about twenty years ago from Exeter to Topsham when a group of lads (I believe the collective noun is a 'tw@t of lads') got on at Exeter Central and proceeded to spend the journey trying to outdo each other with crap stories of the japes they had accomplished over the years.
One of them then said to the others that him and a mate had missed the last train to Exmouth one night so they'd walked up the line, found one of them pump trolleys what you sees in films, driven it all the way to Exmuff and then just left it in the station hahahahaha . All his mates and the carriage went really quiet as everyone contemplated what a complete pillock he'd made of himself after getting a bit carried away with the story telling. I glanced at the guy opposite and we shared a quiet chuckle.
I don't know why I just remembered this. It might be because I saw a train today.

At our little theatre, I'm sat in the gallery in front of a lighting desk...one would presume I knew what to do with it....
Anyway, part way through the last act, there was a bit of a clatter bang from elsewhere on the gallery. Can't see any sign of anything that's moved so maybe we've got ghosts.




If a flamingo isn't about, would it be called a flamingone?

No, I just replaced the gas mantles.

Why don't we have darkbulbs for use in daytime?

I'd have thought you'd have kept the curtains shut and gone for the old UV 'blacklight'?
Great for playing the bedroom forensics game again.

I'm doing this while watching Callan, the original TV series.

I can't pretend to have watched it (a bit before my time), but I just looked it up and it looks really good. I don't want to ruin your viewing so tell me about it later.
It says he sometimes used torture?

You could always know you were watching Callan as the better televisions let you smell the arrival of Lonely, before he entered the room.
