TGTV update: show 3
I should be writing about this week's show, but if you'll excuse me I have to take a moment to say a few words about the stuff in the papers, which basically states Richard and James are leaving unless they get a million pounds a minute, and that Jeremy is already on four million pounds a minute and also trousers 98 percent of all the profits from Top Gear, Dr Who, Strictly Come Dancing, The Tweenies and Big Brother

Cute Overload
http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_over The first thing I could think of when I saw these pics was Hammond, and I can't stop giggling as a result. It really looks like him. Hee. |

Nick Cave on BBC4
So I'm plonked in front of Nick Cave Night, and I have tabs open of things I want to blog about - the smoking ban and the nhs and social biology and Top Gear - and all I can think about is how AWFUL Nick Cave looks with that stupid moustache and his refusal to admit that he's going bald.
I'm so judgemental.

Have you hugged your proton today?
Giant microbes set the bar pretty high when it comes to adorable plushy science things, but the Particle Zoo challenges their reign. Plushy subatomic particles! So. Freakin'. Cute. Obviously I want them all, but the quarks and anti-quarks are particularly cute. And the dark matter! Awwwwwwwwwww! I still don't actually own any giant microbes. I think this should be remedied as a graduation present. :D

Also, Johann Hari makes good point shocker
This is broadly in tune with my own views. But you all knew that anyway.

Snouts in the Trough
The divisions are up for the MPs expenses vote and, like Alex Wilcock, I am very happy indeed that not one of the piggies who voted to remain more equal than the rest of us is a Lib Dem. Predictably, the printed press is squealing about the horror and unfairness of it all, from the strident howls of the Fail, to the more measured disapproval of the Indy. I am one of those rare people who thinks that MPs should be paid a lot more than they currently are for basic salary - on the grounds that if we want the best people to represent us, we should pay the sort of wages that will attract the best - but I also think that people HUGELY resent the fact that MPs get to claim expenses for the sort of things that normal people have to buy from their own wage. In business, it's perfectly acceptable to claim for travel and lunches and sundry expenses, but how many people in the real world can claim for a telly or an iPod? Similarly, staffing costs for a constituency office are something that I have no problem with, but to be able to claim the cost of buying a second home, and then keep the profits when you sell it? Just no... The fact that MPs have voted to retain the current system shows how out of touch a lot of them are with the public mood. When we're heading recessionwards and the rest of us are all having to suck it up and tighten our belts, the amount of resentment over MPs expenses is palpable to all. I am very proud that the members of my party who voted recognise this, and sad that my local MP didn't, and I think we should be making a lot of noise about it when it comes to election time.

There's been a bombing in Minsk. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/eu WHAT??? Why on earth would anyone bomb BELARUS? If Lukashenko had actually been present where it happened, ok, I could understand THAT, I'm sure there are quite a lot of Belarusians who'd quite like to bomb him, but WHY would anyone attack Minsk, in general? It's not an influential or very big country (population dropping too) and it's a long way from Chechnya...this is just really weird. Must be some nutter? Wonder if it was at Ploshad peremogi? sounds like it although i can't really imagine there being a concert there? Edit: I checked a bit more - I think I know where it was now. Not there. If my new LJ friend ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} tina3012 is reading this maybe she can give some more details, please? :)Also REALLY shocked about the murder of the two French guys...:( Of course it's all over Le Figaro too. |

UK folk, David Mitchell will be on Question Time in about 10 minutes. That's BBC1, 10.35pm. If you miss it, I think it comes up on iPlayer and there's a repeat on BBC News channel...sometime on Saturday evening, IIRC. Enjoy! |

LinkSpam of DOOOOOM! *UPDATED*
They've found the deleted scenes from Metropolis! Sci-fi geeks rejoice! And pray Cthulhu we get a showing of it at the FFW next year...
Don't watch anything on YouTube which isn't allowed to be there, else you'll get got. Creationism hits science classrooms in the UK. and we are funding it via the state school mechanism. *I* am paying for some poor kids to be taught complete bollocks as though it is fact. Amused Cynicism makes comment more eloquently than I ever could. The Torygraph have picked their top ten ever Doctor Who episodes. No surprises that it's Ten-heavy, but perhaps surprising that it contains no Trout. And, obvs, Caves of Androzani should be #1. James May is amazed that the BBC are upset with him for drinking a G&T, when really, they should be upset with him for putting slices of lemon in it. LIME, James, LIME! Jeremy Thorpe says Robert Mugabe must die. I guess there's a limit to everyone's Liberalism, eh? David Davies shows just how pro-liberty he really is. Hey ho. Is anyone actually surprised by this? Chicky Yog imagines Gordon as a barman and finds him wanting. The turkeys HAVE voted for Christmas: Mike at PB is right. Any PPC opposing any of the lot who voted for this is going to have a field day.
