Finally, a birthday not missed: many happy returns of the day to

It's hard to believe that this song is 25 years old, though it's lasted remarkably well. Part of that was that it was so damned catchy, but perhaps the larger part was its wonderful video. It's become commonplace to bang on about how videos were much better when we were all knee-high to a grasshopper and the only mobile phones were the size of ( Read more... )

I don't have many criteria for a decent day at work: interesting projects, perhaps. A pleasant, decisive boss in charge for the day. The absence of the urge to set anyone on fire.

Nevertheless, they have improved the lives of millions of people in their 13 years in power. They're moribund, corrupt and authoritarian now, and I wouldn't be voting for them... except ... EXCEPT, I cannot ( Read more... )

OMFG.I cannot believe they did that. I am filled, toetip to brainpan, with glee.

If everyone could please watch Flesh and Stone right now and then talk about it, that would be marvellous.

BRB, watching Confidential, then the episode again.
