Wise words from Boris Johnson. No, really.

Online shop for all kinds of government and official publications (including EU publications).

Planning to drive to Germany? You will need an emissions sticker in order to drive into many city centres. They cost EUR 12.50.

The toll for crossing the dartford Crossing is increasing by 50% (if you use it during the day – it is being scrapped for crossing between 10pm and 6am). However, if you sign up for a Dart Tag and use it at least once a year, you'll get the old rate of £1 for a car. Well worth it.

Where do I sign up?

I wonder if changes at the top of the USPTO might help my industry with the ridiculous 102b situation (sorry, Plant Patent law geekery!). We shall have to wait, but I suspect it will depend on the new head of the office and their attitude to overseas patent owners.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's latest project. Liked the track on Jools.

Space Invaders. With bells. And whistles.
