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 […]
From the Guardian: Mandelson’s textiles U-turn Honestly! “Rationing”? When did clothes become one of life’s essentials? And if we’re talking about clothes from China, 1. they’ve probably been made by poorly paid, badly treated workers, and 2. they’re probably more tat that we would do well to stop buying. Who’s been twisting Mandy’s arm anyway?
From BBC news: Liverpool play Owen waiting game Benitez doesn’t want him. And I don’t want him back either. He might be a good Shearer replacement for Newcastle Comedy Club (trademark the folk who write The Fiver at the Guardian) though.
From BBC news: Hoon ponders new passport checks (via curious hamster). Lordy lord. What now? Will the UK be turned into a police state? Will all inhabitants be microchipped/tagged? My experience with the US Dept of Homeland Security’s OTT measures has not been good so far, what with being stopped at the check-in gate in […]
Minor panic about brother’s safety over. But wtf is this all about, like? Looks like I’m going to owe someone a paperback.
nosemonkey is right. Cunting bastards. Copycat? Wannabe? Piss off, you wanker.
I’m appalled. Marin Alsop is an excellent conductor, and we’ve gone to many of the concerts where she was conducting the RSNO (Royal Scottish National Orchestra. And yes, it has both Royal and National in its name). And we’ve always come away greatly impressed. I’ve also heard she gives fantastic pre-concert talks, and is extremely […]
snigger (via dave weeden) I think the previous clunky, obviously Tory, site was better. Bring it back. I don’t want coffee all over my keyboard either.
From the Guardian: Foreign scientists barred amid terror fears. Meant to write a few thoughts about this last night, but was too eager to go to the pub to watch some *real* football. Unfortunately, it was Real Madrid vs LA Galaxy. Yawn. Anyway. I wonder if that’s why, for YEARS, the Home Office held on […]
