I'm particularly fond of that ... particular time.

This is very cute.

So what time is it where you are? Although poemranker claims I posted this at 6.30am, it actually almost three o'clock in the afternoon now.

How do you feel about adding an option to set a cookie or something for timezone so the times appear correctly to people who don't live next to you?

plausible. certainly plausible.

pain in the ass, but plausible.

I once knew a person who used to make rubbish .ST3 files on his computer. One of his "tewns" was called "Bored," and then one night he made a remix of it called "Bored 3am." I don't really know why. Anyway, I though this might be of interest to you.

I assume this is the BBC World Service? Do you live in Botswana or something?

I don't live in Botswana. I live in Wales. You can listen to the BBC world service at night after Radio 4 shuts down. I listen to it when I have bouts of insomnia. On a particularly restless night I might hear the news headlines four or five times. So I learn a lot about world affairs. Though once I woke up convinced I'd heard that Yasser Arafat had been assasinated, but it turned out to be a dream.

Also, I love making crap music on my PC. It's such a democratic medium - anyone with a computer and some cheap software can sample away to their hearts content.

Perhaps you had been unconciously listening to an episode of On The Hour. I seem to recall one particular spoof headline that read:

ARAFAT ABLAZE IN KEROSENE OYSTER HELL
