I wonder if my local pub is thinking about me.

We're certainly thinking about our local:

I feel like doing something good right now. I think I'll go down to the river and see if I can save that large brick from drowning.

Nice looking pub there tobydog. Not sure it's my kind of place though. I didn't see any duct tape on the seats and it looks like the spilled beer gets cleaned up right away.

My eyes were drawn to the 'Doom Bar' font! Just a tad prophetic!

That all seems a bit Heath Robinson to me!

When I was a boy, I'd head off to the British Council library to get a Heath Robinson book, then to the American library attached to the US Consulate for some Rube Goldberg.

I don't know if the two men were aware of each other's body of work, but Robinson seems to have started drawing his signature cartoons several years before Goldberg.

I read that Heath Robinson's name was included in the dictionary from 1912 as a synonym for absurd, ingenious and over-complicated makeshift devices.

The use of Rube Goldberg's name for the same purpose dates from 1928.

For balance, I attach an image of a Rude Goldberg machine.

Letting the cat out of the bag is a lot easier than putting it back in.

Autocorrect has become my worst enema.

Autocorrect has become my worst enema.

I heard that the guy who invented Autocorrect died.
May he rust in **** (insert synonym for urine)
