Literary Tube

Service announcements on the Tube are to include little gems of wisdom from Gandhi, Einstein and Sartre amongst others. Turner Prize-nominated artist Jeremy Deller has compiled a list of quotations to be used by Tube drivers.

Meanwhile on Radio 2, Wogan has just pointed out that in Dublin some years back, philosophical scratchings were included on wall posters around the city: "The first three minutes of life are the most dangerous" quoted a poster outside a hospital. The graffito below went further: "The last three are pretty fookin' hairy, too!"

Literal minded

Well, I have done it. Over enthusiastic compliance rules the day. My desk is bare as I go home; I've even hidden the keyboard.

Goodbye, Charlie

The BBC reports that Farrah Fawcett, poster-girl extraordinaire of the 70s and early 80s and one-time Charlie's Angel has died of cancer, aged 62.

The obituary is here.

Fawcett ( Fawcett-Majors as she was at the time, being married to Lee Majors, the Six Million Dollar Man) only made a single season of Charlie's Angels before moving on to other things, but it wasn't until she played the part of a battered housewife in 1984's The Burning Bed that she broke away from type casting and made directors take her seriously.


From pin-up girl...


...to serious actress.
Farrah Fawcett 1947-2009
