Hey guys! It's nice to be partly back, you are all lovely people. I have glandular fever and my brain is operating at maybe 30% capacity and my feet are cold, but while I'm here I just wanted to link to a post on my Wordpress blog which I NEVER post on (I've had it for a pretty long time and there are currently two posts on there - yeah, fail). I ( Read more... )

... how much I love LJ? On Facebook, it was sooo original of me to make an LHC reference. Over here, everybody else has got there first. Despite the fact I'm fairly certain it's MORNING for most of you. We are such a bunch of geeks over here in LJ land, it's fantastic ( Read more... )

So the pigs were found guilty of mishandling the de Menezes operation, which I'm pretty happy about. God willing they'll be a damn sight more careful in future about who they go around shooting at (obviously the ideal would be nobody, but if they have to shoot someone, hopefully they'll make sure he's actually guilty next time).

Oh my God, http://www.livescience.com is my new favourite website. It's fantastic. Although I don't understand why a low variability of skull size would indicate movement away from Africa - I know I'm being dense here but I just don't understand the reasoning. Wouldn't it make more sense if there was higher variability the further you moved from ( Read more... )

This all seems reasonably positive, doesn't it?

I'm still not sure what to expect of Brown, but I am hoping that he'll be more left-leaning than his esteemed ex-colleague (which is, let's face it, not difficult).

By the way, does appointing Blair as Peace Envoy to the Middle East strike anyone else as analogous to hiring a massive slug as your ( Read more... )

I had the strangest dream last night. It had a proper narrative and everything. It was about Hugh Laurie - I think I was his PA (or possibly something less pretentious, like a maid, but I can't picture Laurie with a maid), and I somehow managed to make friends with him, and we went out for coffee, and then he invited me to a premiere, and for some ( Read more... )

Ah, I love this song. And the video is hi-larious (if vaguely sick).

Words to live by.

Because I seem to be in a good mood for no fathomable reason, here's some stuff I thought was awesome.

This thing is like a bad trip. I have literally no idea what's going on.

I love this next one. I find it oddly comforting, as well as hilarious.
