Diary of a fat body

Filed under: Geeklife — Will @ 12:52 pm

As I boarded an aeroplane on Monday night, one of the cabin crew asked me to move farther down the aircraft.

To spread the load.

Lost

Filed under: Geeklife, TV — Will @ 12:10 pm

As I was setting the video for Lost on E4 last night, I noticed the episode description on the Electronic Programme Guide was somewhat more flippant than usual…

Self-referential

Filed under: Blogging, Letters — Will @ 1:35 pm

Apologies for the self-referential nature of this entry: it’s a blog post about a letter responding to a letter about blog posts, tagged with the keywords “Blogging” and “Letters”.

I have returned to the letters page of theguardian with this quip, which I decided to send rather than go to the effort of a proper rebuttal. The letter I was replying to was printed on Friday.

In other blogging news, I have spruced up the site a bit. Let me know what you think, and please report any problems. It’s not looking quite right on Firefox, so there’s some tweaking to be done.

Rafael returns

Filed under: Blogging — Will @ 1:38 pm

Rafael Behr, Observer journlist and erstwhile newspaper blogger, has returned, as promised, with his own blog. So hurrah.

Covering the cost

Filed under: Politics — Will @ 10:37 am

theguardian reports that Passport cost rises by 21% to pay for security checks. Now, if I was very cynical, I’d think the Home Office were going to ramp up the cost of passports each year so that when it finally comes the time officially to include ID cards with them, that final leap in price turns out to be much less than anticipated.

But, as I say, that would be very cynical.

The evidence is in. The moon landings were faked.

(As James said: That’s no moon.)
