Obligatory food post. After all, I’m just back from France: home of the gastronomes. There’s something about eating in company that makes it very difficult to take photographs of the food. (Anyone else keep their food blogging a secret from work mates?) So, I’ll have make do with a list of salivating dishes and a […]
Saffron has uploaded a Flickr tag fight between Vegemite and Marmite, and it looks like Vegemite is winning… I suggest all Marmite-lovers get their cameras out and fight the good fight! Technorati tags: marmite.

Rupert Murdoch is a long streak of piss.
From BBC News Video and Audio: Galloway vs Hitchens. Eh, what fun. Skipping sideways for a moment, I thought for a second that I’d met GG last week at the airport in Dyce, but probably not. I’m not very good at recognising people I don’t know personally. And I worry constantly that I won’t recognise […]
From BBC news: Merkel ahead in tight German vote. Another suitcase in another hall; take the pictures off another wall; Where is Germany going to? Don’t ask anymore. Apologies for bursting into bad ALW music… What on earth are the Germans going to do now? I’m guessing a “grand coalition” is a euphemism for a […]
