Noggin the Nog

Well, actually, Thor Nogson.

I heard this morning that Oliver Postgate had died. I wasn't into the Clangers, and Bagpuss was (I think) after my time; but I did love Noggin the Nog.

When I was looking through my old autograph book the other day, I found that I had this sketch of Thor Nogson by Peter Firmin, who illustrated the series, from book show in 1971. In memory of Oliver Postgate, then:

In the Indie today, two stories caught my funny bone:

• Science journal mistakenly uses flyer for Macau brothel to illustrate report on China. They thought it was a poem. It reminds me of a story a couple of years ago a girl who had a Chinese swearword tattooed on her (by mistake) (about and some similar stoires)
  
• Bank offers Kaylie Coomber £84.5m overdraft. Yes, 84.5 million pounds. She had asked for £50. The story isn't on the Indie website (god knows why not!) - only the print edition - but it is all over the place. Maybe Alliance & Leicester aren't suffering like the other banks.
