Your Feel-Good Moment of the Day

My friends Ste and Kelly went to the Reading Festival a couple of weeks ago.  While they were there, Ste lost his mobile phone when he was in the Metallica moshpit.

A couple of days later, Ste’s mum gets a phonecall from a guy called Spencer who explains that he found a phone, scrolled through the contacts, found the entry for ‘Mum’ and is trying to get the phone back to its owner.

Ste’s mum took Spencer’s details, passed them on to Ste, Ste called Spencer and Spencer sent the phone back a few days later.

This guy didn’t ask for anything in return.  He just saw a phone in a muddy field filled with 50,000 people and decided to get it back home.  How great is that?

Sheffield city centre June 1968 (via loose_grip_99)
I lived in Sheffield for three years, and this isn’t where I thought it was.  The fact that my mental map of Sheffield is fading makes me sad.
Before I looked at the Flickr page, I thought this was on Furnival Gate, with The Moor descending to the left.  It’s actually at the other end of The Moor, on Fitzwilliam Gate, with The Moor ascending to the left.
Anyway, what I was going to say is that where I thought this photo was taken was where I’ve probably come closest to dying, when some tosser ran the red light at this junction and nearly hit me at over 30mph while he was driving ‘into’ this photo.
However, that actually happened about 300 metres north of where this photo was actually taken, so maybe I should just shut up and wallow in my fading memories.

What if Fight Club was a rom-com?

Nicely done.

集英社・講談社・小学館・角川4出版社の財務状態をグラフ化してみる:Garbagenews.com. (via twink)

I have no idea what this means, but Yellow was in the zone for a while there.  I hope it didn’t just slack off because it got into first.  That’s just lazy.  Or maybe it improved as much as it could because, let’s face it, it sucked balls before.
