Weirdo

[caddyman]

There is a weirdo in this office somewhere and no-one knows who it is.

Sometime over the past couple of weeks or so, someone has been wandering around stealing personal and family photographs from desks and filing cabinets. Whether it is just this floor or a wider problem, I don’t know. Whoever it is even whipped my photo of Gillian Anderson, which has been pinned or blu-tacked to a succession of partitions or filing cabinets these past ten years. It’s annoying, but hardly a great loss. More worrying are the irreplaceable family photos other people have lost. There was a rumour that all the pictures taken were of women or young girls, but that has been squelched and our picture thief is taking any photograph available (except, it seems, my photocopy of Louise Brooks – not good enough quality, I imagine).

I doubt we’ll ever find out who has wandered off with them or why.

There are some strange people in the world.

I envisage a Bladerunner style attempt to create a personal history by using other people's photographs to create a fictional family. Picture the scene:

Dekard: "So these are pictures of your family?"
Roy: "Yes"
Dekard: "Who's this?"
Roy: "That's my mother"
Dekard: "Your mother is Gillian Anderson? You're a replicant aren't you?"
Pris: "Busted!"

great film reference there.

I think we can resolve this by me donning my brown trenchcoat and stalking the 'clepto replicant' with my trusty replica P.K.D blaster...

At last a use for an anorak-y use for an anorak !!
