Clowns, Mimes and Predictive Text Messaging

Thursday night saw a neon-nu-rave-style birthday party. Fancy dress is always welcomed, so out came the glowsticks and off we adventured to a less-than-usual haunt for us, venturing into the hard house beats of CYNT for the evening.

What we hadn't expected, was to be the only three people in the club on arrival, or to be followed shortly by two dozen people dressed in exceptionally creepy clown and mime costumes! Being surrounded by double-faced, white-masked oddities doing the 'robot' is something I shall not forget for a long time! (Incidentally, the nu-ravers did appear an hour or two later!) My other, very exciting, discovery of the weekend has been that Sony Ericsson phones keep a list stored of all the words you add to the predictive text dictionary! This was discovered whilst on the train, sat opposite a woman with a peculiar fascination with garden gnomes. My list of words, leaving out names of friends, is as follows:

1. Cardiff
2. Aardvark
3. Chippy
4. Bitch
5. Bonkers
6. Buffalo
7. Attenborough
8. CUTV
9. Eek
10. Dorchester
11. Heck
12. HENSON
13. Incase
14. GOT
15. Greenwing
16. Grr
17. Grrr
18. IT
19. Kaffuffle
20. Jeopardise
21. Llamas
22. Mackintosh
23. Ninja
24. Okeydokez
25. Olga
26. Muppet
27. Penguin
28. Phew
29. Plonker
30. Smithereens
31. Polychaete
32. Soundcheck
33. Spiffing
34. Squished
35. Uppage
36. Wareham
37. YAY
38. YIPPEE
39. Wombat
40. Womble
41. Xpress

I really can't imagine why those words aren't listed as standard, common words in the predictive text memory. Some things will always be a mystery.
