- Home – Skylark
This shop is rather small, but I could happily spend hours (and lots of money) in there. I've always felt that the range of stuff on offer is more or less aimed at someone like me – eclectic books and music, fun small gifts, slight nostalgia for the 80s and early 90s, an interest in things out-of-the-ordinary-but-not-too-far-out. Very highly recommended.

- Hello Kitty Maker Sniffy Over Miffy: Sanrio Ordered To Pull Cathy Character In Three Countries | Business | Sky News
I've always felt that Hello Kitty was nothing but a blatant rip-off of Miffy/Nijntje, who is a rather older animal born in 1955. In fact, Hello Kitty is banned from this house on moral grounds. At last, Mercis bv, the company that licences Dick Bruna's creation, have got one over on Sanrio. But I suspect that Sanrio have better resources to throw at a legal battle, so, as usual, it will be a case of who blinks/runs out of cash first. But first blood to Mercis, a good thing IMHO.

- The Bribery Act – Heads Up! – DMH Stallard (Solicitors) – London, Gatwick, Brighton
Handy guide to the new Bribery Act and what it means for people in business. Apparently, the test for whether an offer or promise is a bribe is “what a reasonable person in the UK would expect in relation to the performance of the type of function or activity concerned.” So, the law is sufficiently vague that the lawyers will profit most.

- BBC News – Dutch coffee shops fear coalition crackdown
I'm always surprised by the widely-held perception that the Dutch are liberal. I would say that their culture is actually quite conservative (hardly any towns have Sunday shopping, for example). And whilst possession of a small quantity of cannabis is "tolerated" (note the word), trading is illegal. Many towns have either been shutting the brown coffee shops down or, like Maastricht, changed planning laws so that they must be sited on industrial estates on the edge of town. Personally, I'm all for shutting them down – it might make tourists look a little further in the Netherlands, beyond the soft drugs to the culture, cuisine and history.
