I'm getting quite freaked out now

The Mitchell and Vole mindmeld continues, as this sketch (from 16.08 if it doesn't start in the right place) demonstrates in a creepily accurate fashion (Demented is quite impressed by the similarity too). If anyone can find it on Youtube or similar, I'd love to post it - I've only found the BBC iPlayer version.

Demented - amateur DIY on university property is tricky. Hope you get away with it…

Konichiwa

Cool! Someone in Kawasaki, Japan translated my page (looking for one of my diatribes about the iniquities of the science journal business). It looks excellent in Japanese, though Google doesn't take a stab at 'Plashing'. If you're on my bloglist, you can see your names in Japanese (hover over the links for the English text).

Ode to the Vole

Comrade Gerry has written a poem in honour of The Plashing Vole. A rhyming dictionary may have been consulted…

The plashing vole

has its eye on the goal

it scoffs at those

that would console

and from its knoll

it exerts control

with a hard blank eye

upon your soul

 - oh no, sorry, that's the plashing pit viper I had in mind...

The Plashing Vole to the Rescue

The Green Lantern t-shirt is already working. Pausing only to remove my disguise, I leapt into action to help a young lady who fell heavily from her bicycle this morning, aided by my trusty sidekick, The Green Cruiser. Tomorrow: Plashing Vole picks up some litter and the world is saved.
