Random moments from my life
- I discovered today that my local Sainsburys have started offering Christmas products
- I discovered today that Einstein married his cousin and turned down being President of Israel
- An female friend of mine emailed me to say say she failed clause 15.19 of the 50 shades of Grey contract whilst thinking of me
- Cycling 20 miles on a weekday to a pub in the middle of nowhere and having a pub lunch in the sunshine is very pleasant
- Some of my friends are riding motorbikes right now from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego but I'm glad I didn't go with them
What are your top random moments?
(These are obviously recent random moments!)

No history of twins in my or my other half's family and my shock on seeing two babies at my wife's first scan.
Literally bumped into Richard Harris coming out of the Savoy in London, the man wasn't looking where he was going!
Working in an outsouced MS partnered call centre many moons ago supporting Office applications, took a call from Stanley Kubrick with a Word issue.

My bog book of facts has Hannibal listed twice under people who committed suicide.
Planning a trip to Charlotte NC later this year.
I posted recently on a Top Gear board that they need to inject new life into the show. Topless in a topless would be a good start.
Discovered "Badly stuffed foxes" on Facebook (thanks Paul!)
Cooked prawn and chorizo pasta from my new Lorraine Pascale book last Friday
...and congratulations Jon, speaking from experience, twins are hard work but so much fun!

I have a random issue with my eyesight which means although looking out of both my eyes at one time, I can only focus out of one at any given time. This gives me two angled perspectives on anything I look at. I am short sighted in one eye and long in the other. It also means it is impossible to do those eye tests where you are given two images and told to blend them (i.e. lines and dots to cross over each other through those binocular type glasses). I nearly failed my Tata Steel medical because of my inability to do this. I can also not see passive 3D for this, but can active.
