oh, and in other news, Brighton and Hove Albion have won the Division Three championship after beating Chesterfield last night. Note that they would win the championship even if Chesterfield had not had nine points deducted for financial irregularities. It’s the first time Brighton have won anything in my lifetime. Good stuff.

I’m feeling decidedly lacklustre today. Anyone got any ideas on how to perk up?

TPL – an absolutely dreadful score this week. 2 points. guh.

You have to laugh. No really, you do.

What your favourite vegetable says about you.

I refuse to be drawn into commenting on the May Day protests. I don’t think my views would necessarily be compatible with some of those of my readers. I am, after all, a businessperson and a marketer.

Duck-based silliness. Thanks Mike.

me me me me me. Cripes, imagine being so vain as to have a website all about yourself.

oh. yeh. right. ahem.

I have to say what a brilliant book Anthropology by Dan Rhodes is – much kudos to Vaughan for recommending it and Meg for giving it to me. For those that haven’t seen it, it is a collection of …um… well, anecdotes really. Each is only about a hundred or so words long, and reflects on some sort of (usually slightly unusual) aspect of a relationship. Some are funny, some sad, others uplifting or heartrending – and I think that the sort of emotion that you are likely to gain from each tale will depend almost entirely on you – your experiences, your viewpoint, even your mood – I think if you read a story one day, and then read it again a week later, your response to it would be different. And it is just great for dipping into at the breakfast table before work.
Advice: go buy it!

Thinking about the anti-capitalist protests taking place in London today, isn’t an “anarchists meeting” a contradiction in terms? Wouldn’t it be chaotic? How would any decisions be made?
