Three interesting Tory poster links. First up, after I got all excited about the tube poster from a law firm, elsewhere on this blog, I find it has caught the eye of Stephan, too (only his cameraphone is snazzier than mine). Second, yet more make-your own Conservative poster fun. (Although you could just write it [...]
Bluebells Originally uploaded by Pigsaw. Today we went off on a circular walk round Bentley Priory, in Stanmore. It was supposed to be circular, but once again – we did this the last time we went on this walk – we lost our way round just after the summer house lake, and once again ended [...]
I am still mesmerised by the Daily Mail’s RSS news feed (which I won’t link to, because I don’t want to give them the pleasure) – it’s the Daily Mail, but boiled down to it’s purest form. A bit like the end of Time Bandits (“That’s concentrated evil. One drop of that could turn you [...]
I’m unusually frazzled this Friday morning, but two bright spots of techie wonder have jumped out at me already. First, Jon Udell says: Hey, don’t you think the gap between techies and the people they support would be a lot narrower if the techies stopped calling them “users”? Second, Lloyd reports how the Globe and [...]
Oh, that’s a lie. I do care. But I’m getting ahead of myself. It goes like this… Currently there’s a debate raging among Labour supporters: is a vote against them (in protest of Iraq) without danger of letting in Tories? Perfect.co.uk and Actually Existing think it’s safe. Others, such as Lloyd and of course Polly [...]
Number 10 have gone and published it, under duress, naturally. The Attorney-General’s legal advice on Iraq, at last. Thank you, Guardian and Guardian Unlimited. Tags: iraq, advice, resolution1441
Tube ad from law firm Originally uploaded by Pigsaw. This ad made me smile. The text underneath says something like “Straight talking legal advice” (ironic on the day that Lord Goldsmith’s Iraq advice was revealed) and the inevitable “Are you thinking what we’re thinking?”. The text down the right hand side lists their areas of [...]
My close personal friend Grammarpuss writes of her concern over her beloved Guardian. She says she’s worried about its “editorial line on Israel, which is only partly balanced out by the continued presence of Jonathan Freedland on the comment pages”. So that’s an editorial line against Israel, we are to understand. (To be honest this [...]
An esteemed colleague has pointed me in the direction of an entertaining article by Tim Porter, independent/freelance journalist. A terrific rant about how so many newspaper people are bemoaning the stagnation of a once-dynamic industry, but are actually very much to blame for it. Newspapers, the Internet, both subjects very close to my heart. The [...]
The Conservative campaign is getting nastier. What does this mean? First, I think it will certainly boost their core vote. If you’ve had nagging misgivings over Labour before now, then this should strengthen your resolve to get out there and “send them a message”. But oddly, this isn’t the case if you’ve only got nagging [...]
