BBC says, ‘Frequent tipple cuts heart risk’, so nyah.

Mmm, Thai flavours. Tom Yam soup would go down a treat on a cold night like tonight, I should get some capsicum and tofu on the way home.

Eyewitness accounts of the siege that’s still going on in Hackney.

Unnovations (not the Innovations catalogue!).

Up there with delays caused by the ‘wrong kinds of leaves’, an article about delays to commuter trains explained, ‘we’ve had heaters on on thousands of points but snow and low temperatures meant that some have not functioned properly.’
They bought heaters that don’t work when it’s cold?

More snow! It’s bucketing down.

London is expecting 5cm of snow overnight, and it was 40C in Melbourne today. Snow is cute but I’ve realised I’m basically a hot weather person. I love the way it feels like the hairs on your arm are being singed when it’s that hot.
Still no central heating, though it should be back tomorrow. You know you’re in trouble when you open the fridge and are tempted to keep it open because it’s warmer inside than out.

(If you get BBC2) Have you ever noticed that the credits for University Challenge list ‘the voice of Roger Tilling’ but you never hear him?

It snowed in London! I woke up and there was white stuff everywhere. I’m sure it won’t last, but woohoo!

Truly gross webcam wankers. Not work safe. And you may never sleep again.
