Phew, WordPress appears to be back after an outage all of Easter Sunday.
That obviously wasn't the reason why I can't sleep tonight, and a puzzling article about crowds at Thorpe Park in today's Guardian won't help. The piece describes Thorpe Park's new ride — Stealth — as being part of the reason for the crowds. Apparently it is such a draw because the drop is the fourth steepest in the world.
The drop – the fourth steepest in the world – is vertical.
That's the 4th steepest. Not the first, or even the second. Yet it's vertical? No wonder the crowds are going crazy.
I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see -- because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody' -- why my blog should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth.
