Ah, popcorn. What a wonderful invention. I wonder who first thought to dry out and then 'explode' a bucketful of sweetcorn kernels? Even more stunning of course was the idea to combine them with a film, to create the perfect synergy of visual entertainment and snacking. Unfortunately we don't have any films showing here at work, but we have had two massive bowl-fuls of popcorn to share around. So light, crunchy and warm! Aaaah!
It really doesn't take too much to get me excited on a Friday. So, anyway...

Thieves who get caught, as has been noted in this blog before, tend to come out with a myriad of astonishing excuses to try and explain their behaviour. Never before though have I heard of one who thought that "I am an Elf" would do the trick! The really genius part of this story is the fact that he was trying to steal knickers. At knifepoint. I'm sure there's potential for a film here! I'll get the popcorn.
