Get off the pavement
The town is full of idiots shuffling along with their little pea-brained heads bent firmly over their latest penis extension.

Absolutely brilliant, make sure to look through the whole set!
Parking permit
A dusty yellowed fan stands in the corner of the office. Overhead neon lamps cast a sickly light over the battered furniture and grubby carpet. I bend down to pick up a lucky penny as my name is called. Bagging the permit I leave for home.
Station
The winter sun barely penetrates the cloud cover. Although milder than in recent weeks waiting passengers are still wrapped in warm coats and scarves; not quite trusting the tender introduction of spring. Their chatter is interspersed with birdsong that tells a different story. A train stops and swallows the crowd. Quiet descends again on the little station.
A few latecomers arrive sleepy-eyed. Glances at the electronic announcement board paired with checks of watches. People slowly space out along the platform, stoically avoiding each other, as to stake their territory.
On the opposite platform my train arrives and I am accelerating towards my destination.

CSS Bug in IE7
Just came across what has to be a bug in IE7.
I have a 3 column layout. The 3 divs are enclosed by a container div with a fixed width. All 3 divs have also fixed widths - fitting snugly into the container width - and are floating.
The main content div in the middle has <h>eaders and <p>aragraphs. The paragraphs are aligned 'justified'. The right div contains an image that has the same width as the div.
If I <em>phasise (style italic, and displayed inline for good measure) any part of a <p>aragraph in the main content div that spans more than one line, the image div on the right slips underneath the two other divs.
It seems that IE7 adds the extra font space needed to display italic after it calculates the justify alignment.
