The tweet in question was by Robert Llewellyn aka Kryten from Red Dwarf, a spaceship that is clearly fictional. This is starting to smell fishy.

Yep. I was surprised at how cool it was actually. Mind you, seeing anything in the skies with London light pollution is a minor miracle, so it might have just been that.

Sorry boss, only saw a tweet about it at very short notice!

Canny!

Should be an ISS flypast tonight in about 10 minutes (21:18 or so). Look to the west with a hint of south. It's half-cloudy here but hopefully should spot something.

Marina Lewycka - We Are All Made Of Glue Entertaining enough ramble in a quirkiness-meets-Holocaust kind of a way from the Ukrainian tractors lady. The conceit of the title is laboured and doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but the story itself is perfectly engaging leafing fodder.

When watching vintage-era Pavarotti sing "Nessun dorma", natch.

"Suarez booked for a ridiculus gesture at the referee's assistant following an offside decision. Stupidity." A real charmer, that one.

There were plenty of hiccups along the way. But THEY invented the hiccups just so we would believe THEIR version of events.

Thanks Dad.

(No reason, I just figured we needed an interval act after 60+ pages)

You mean that one of them is the token black backing singer in this? I know.

Why do they have to be elements?

Cheeky bugger! (I'm more of a To Wong Foo man.)

I notice the poll doesn't have a "50 Cent" option. Pls rectify.

And he can dance. (CONDENSE)

Tough crowd.

It is when you're a tubby c-word like me. I blame having to take a ridiculous hilly detour around Greenwich Park because of the Olympics. Never wanted them in this country in the first place.

I clan't believe you said that.

I can see Russia from my back yard.

Knacking. Managed to - I assume - pull or strain a muscle in my foot while out walking yesterday. Got back home, slowly, and now I'm hobbling around the place like an old man. Nowt to do but rest it up for a few days and see if it gets any better I suppose.

Living in sin? Even better

I know Art Attack was good but I doubt it could prevent violent crime.
