And suddenly the single article theory looks more promising again.

I think the LA times + Post-it note section should be somewere near the begining since he only calls it the Receda Cube once then referes to "The Cube" after that.

could be. i put it at the bottom because, structurewise, in a report about a thieving, the article should probably talk about the thieving fFirst, then talk about the history of thieving and other related material later. In that sense, of course, the stuff about enhanced security precautions should be later as well. So I guess it can be fFiled a lot of ways.

I think the LA Times and Post-it are continuing Sente's quote and so belong where they are with the 'Globe and Mail' at the end of what we have and something else in the middle.

i have to now agreee that it's all one document - i've read a lot of press releases and the vast majority start with the recent activity (product launch, etc.) and then have a paragraph on background (product, company, industry, etc.) - this is starting to look like that kind of deal

We don't have all the pieces. It could well be that a future ad will also mention Receda Cube and go at the beginning of the doc. Subject-matter wise I'd have to agree with it being at the end right now.

Anyone any thoughts on this...

Cough Please

Hello everyone and welcome to another Doughnut Hole, packed with guests, oozing with good conversation and just a sprinkling of fun.

I was watching 'The Core' on DVD the other day, I saw it at the cinema and enjoyed it so much that I just had to go out and get myself a copy3. Now I have a perplexing problem, it seems for a little jest, the makers decided to keep me on the hook and introduce something fishy to the infamous Trafalgar Square scene. I won't of course ruin the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it, but the Trafalgar Square scene has a large amount of pigeons going slightly barmy, and somewhere in all the flapping is one lone little trout. If anyone does spot this sad little fish, please do let me know, oh what wags these film people are!!!

from...http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A1903844

another hint towards HG2G?????

Further, perhaps also unconnected, cafe at National Gallery is called/run by Digby Trout - anyone passing could look in???

I still think this has nothing to do with HG2G

FYI it is now March 14 in HK, which means the 3/14 edition of the South China Morning Post is out... I went to http://www.scmp.com but I can't find any classified section ( http://www.classifiedpost.com only has job listings) - anyone have any better luck?

I have family and friends there - I expect at midnight GMT - It will be 8am there one of these people will get hold of me - though I doubt I can stay awake till then as I have work at 8am GMT - So if anything at all is in there then I will let you know.

Am expecting them to search the paper for me and take a pic and email it to me. Hopefully.

Can't get on IRC - but here's the South China Morning Post ad:

Police as yet have no suspects and are still questioning ball

Take a closer look, you can search outside of the jobs page. Look at that black bar on the page's bottom, it has links to other sections.

I'm looking for our ad now.
