I Saw The News
Saturday 24th June 2006
When I heard that Tony Blair had attacked the “justice gap”, I gave a foolish half cheer. I assumed he was attacking the phrase “justice gap”, a pointless PR mouthing that means precisely nothing, and so has inevitably been leapt upon by various institutions who proudly (and in all likelihood erroneously) boast that they are [...]

You Are Heineken
You appreciate a good beer, but you’re not a snob about it.

Yes, I know Gordon Brown reckons [...]
Publicity
Friday 9th June 2006
This fine weather’s not really conducive to blogging is it? And judging by the lack of recent updates on some of the other blogs I read I am not alone in that opinion. As predicted, The Obscurer’s rebirth on its own domain has been a bit akin to a toe-stubbing false start due to my [...]
News Just In From Swansea…
Thursday 1st June 2006
Update: BBC News: Flag drag will boost fuel costs (it seems red and white flags aren’t green).
