Russia might reduce number of time zones. Of course, if Britain went over to CET…

Hmm. We'll see. I hope they give him a good scrub first, since he has spent time at Spurs. Ick.

The official place to purchase/download EU publications. The EU and its offices (including the CPVO) are moving to paperless (and free-of-charge) publication of most documents.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the barmy Belgian enclaves within the Netherlands at Baarle.

Excellent website about strange and unusual aspects of cartography, both current and historical.

Just about the best thing on Jools last week, although Ellie Goulding was good. Diana Krall murdered a couple of songs (and what's with the botox overdose?) and the Stereophonics were both bored and boring. This lot are clearly quite influenced by the likes of Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles, but are generally more cheerful.

Cat Face has wise advice for Guy Fawkes Night.

Swords and ploughshares, anyone? Surely, transforming from "something really twisted and ugly" into a machine designed to bring death and destruction is, in itself, twisted and ugly. Discuss.

I'm tempted by fax-to-email services. I still have to use fax technology from time to time, but am getting fed up with the large fax machine sitting in the middle of our kitchen.

Not in the least addictive.

I'm considering going to this in 2010. I shall go in full Radio 4 regalia, I think.

Seriously good new music, with podcast presented by Tom Ravenscroft.

Best thing on last week's Jools (excluding Smokey Robinson, of course).
