What was the name of that 50's police programme starring Broderick Crawford? Just checked Google - it was Highway Patrol. Anyway, he always used to say 10 - 4 when he was on the radio to base. Today therefore seems to be the appropriate day to celebrate this event. More to the point was does it mean? Er, 10 - 4.

Whilst we were walking the dog yesterday, Jan and I were discussing someone, who I consider to be anally retentive and I also happened to mention that he was gay. Jan uttered the immortal words, "You don't have to be gay to be anally fixated." We both fell about laughing.

Earlier in the day, Alain the artist invited us to his vernissage this Saturday. The term vernissage comes from the time when painters used oil paints, which were allowed to dry for anything up to 12 months. When the painting was considered to be dry it was then varnished (vernissage) and then considered finished. It could then be sold.
