Previously on le craic….
Back in April I mentioned an application you can put on your mobile phone that reads special barcodes. Apparantly they are all the rage in Japan.
People are putting them on headstones, t-shirts and in Italy a newspaper is using them too.
Don’t know if it will catch on here, but I think it could be put to good use but only if a barcode reader is installed on phones here as standard.

Mobile barcodes?
My dear AJ, no sooner have I found you and I am lost.
Or am I in the first – premature – stages of scattering vitally important brain cells?

Ursula, you’ve lost me entirely – I have no clue what your comment is meant to mean. I’m a simple chap and a lover of plain English – can you rephrase?
Well, AJ, dear simple chap, it appears that you and I are a match made in fairy tale land: We are both lost so, like Hansel and Gretel, let’s hold hands and venture further into the woods.
To give you your due, maybe I should have clued myself up on what you talked about in the first place. I have noticed that blogs do make one skim the surface of what is being said instead of looking at anything in depth. I shall reform and report back to you – in the plainest English I can find lying around.
