- Back from Les Blogs
Back from a very interesting, intense 48 hours in Paris. Les Blogs was well worth it - not least for meeting lots of people for the first time, including Euan, Halley and Doc, and having good chats with folk I’ve known (a little) longer, like Hossein and Adriana. There’s so much interesting stuff coming from [...]
- At the hairdressers
Breaking the hard slog of prep for both an MBA exam on Wednesday and talking at Les Blogs on Monday in Paris (both examinations, of different kinds) I decided to head for the hairdresser, to tame what has recently got a bit out of control. Turns out my hairdresser thought there was more amiss than [...]
- You sick, sick pups
You find some odd things, digging through your stats. Take the search terms, left* right - these are the top five referring search terms, mostly from Google, over the last few days. I’m loathe to use the actual words themselves, for fear of only making it worse, so let’s just say number one is fine, [...]
- Tonight’s big news
I’ve been blogging in a professional capacity tonight, about the election of the new Pope (in a post with a scarily rapid growth in comments, not all of them in the best humour). But I have to confess that a geekier bit of news has really caught my eye tonight - Google Maps has arrived [...]
- He is, he says, the ghost of old Labour. You mean, you’re dead?
In the Sunday Times, AA Gill writes up his time with "the Napoleon of Bethnal Green", Gorgeous George Galloway, on the campaign trail:

house that used to belong to Gladstone. Nothing looks more poignantly
risible than a very small man ascending a very big staircase.
‘This used to be [...]
- Scotland finds a striker
Wonderful news this week for those of us in that most un-crowded of demographics: Swindon Town-supporting Scotsmen. For mighty, not to say Super, Sam Parkin has been called up to the Scottish "Future" squad to face Austria next Tuesday in Mattersburg. He’s been in sensational form for Town this season, racking up 23 goals (and [...]
- Pause - for thought!
A modestly telling televisual moment today: on Adam Boulton’s show on Sky News this morning (not as good as Frost, but our bolthole (or Boult-hole? Phnarr) when the Heaven and Earth show starts on the Beeb) a guest, a professor from the London School of Economics, actually pauses to think mid-sentence. It says something for [...]
- Our election blog goes live
Unveiling Guardian Unlimited’s latest blog: Election 2005. Yes, while Tony Blair has decided to hold off getting this circus on the road, we’ve decided to get on with it. And we hope - with some groovy features to be dropped in as the campaign progresses - this will be just the place to watch things [...]
