Sympathy for Norway as a country, naturally, and very grateful to hear that the people I know over there are OK (and of course my fella would choose this long weekend to visit the place ). Bit disturbed though that Twitter and various forums seem to be turning into a game of "ooh, I've just heard that even more people have died!". Not entirely pleasant.

Letting people buy houses they shouldn't be able to "afford" would be a mistake anyway. Look where the Blair-era housing price bubble has left us.

I love how you feel like that somehow makes it even weirder.

Jesus.

Actually a little bit awesome. http://www.hans-brinker.com/

There's a decent debate about whether high-profile figures like Freddie Mercury having girlfriends and denying being HIV-positive actually set back the gay movement at a time when it needed the likes of him and Elton John as strong figureheads, considering the bad shit that was happening in the 80s AIDS-wise and all. Coming out would have meant tabloid vilification, of course, but that's what happened to Freddie in the end anyway.

If you follow the argument to its logical conclusion, recessionary Britain should scrap its army too.

Let The Right One In I was expecting more. Frankly, I was expecting anything at all. Tedious B-movie fare at best. WTF?

No wonder waterboarding seemed like an attractive pastime.

Thought that was Endurance in Japan. Endgame on Takeshi's Castle tbh.

Ah, I see one of the reviews explains it: "His Chinaman is actually Vietnamese, but that is deliberate." That's all right then.

Is it just me or is Nguyen Ngoc Minh not the most... Chinese of names?

The subject of this post Well I haven't really thought of one But thank you Nick-Kielce-Polan' For reminding me of what lives on

Thanks for that - best laugh for a while.

I wasn't aware there was a Straight Doctor Who

Pardon?

Also he's a total cock.

FYP

I can't watch anything involving John Barrowman. Replacement tellies are too expensive.

Peru - Uruguay on ESPN now, first Copa America semi-final. Perfect insomniac fare at every level.

His hair is full of straight edges, mind.
