Notlob is a pun of Bolton

Anagram actually - or it would be if 'notlob' was a real word.  

A palindrome is something that has the same character order in both directions like " never odd or even

I was only quoting Monty Python !!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O: Look, if you go to my brother's pet shop in Bolton, he'll replace the parrot for you.

C: Bolton, eh? Very well.

The customer leaves.

The customer enters the same pet shop. The owner is putting on a false moustache.

C: This is Bolton, is it?

O: (with a fake mustache) No, it's Ipswich.

C: (looking at the camera) That's inter-city rail for you.

The customer goes to the train station.

He addresses a man standing behind a desk marked "Complaints".

C: I wish to complain, British-Railways Person.

Attendant: I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS JOB, YOU KNOW!!!

C: I beg your pardon...?

A: I'm a qualified brain surgeon! I only do this job because I like being my own boss!

C: Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?

A: Yeah, well it's not easy to pad these python files out to 200 lines, you know.

C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswich.

A: No, this is Bolton.

C: (to the camera) The pet shop man's brother was lying!!

A: Can't blame British Rail for that.

C: In that case, I shall return to the pet shop!

He does.

C: I understand this IS Bolton.

O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?

C: You told me it was Ipswich!

O: ...It was a pun.

C: (pause) A PUN?!?

O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?

C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?

O: Yeah, that's it!

C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!

22222222222

 

10 hrs  22mins 22secs  22day  2month 22 year

Now that is pretty unique and isn't going to happen again for a while - until the year 2222 when you can have 13 characters instead of a mere 11.

Such palindromic, and otherwise numerologically 'significant' dates are pretty boring.   A bit more fun is this, published  by that dry (not), elitist (it is) scientific club, the Royal Society:

Written by CV Boys, a scientist as well known then as, say, Brian Cox today, about his fellow FRS, the 18th century mathematician Thomas Simpson.
