Can I just wish everyone a happy new year, especially the good folks of our emergency services who’ve been working tonight…

…and especially the fire crews who came out to the [thankfully] empty house next door at 5am this morning after we were woken up by its smoke alarm going off and the acrid smell of smoke.

Thanks.

What do those five days tell us about the Coalition? July 30, 2010
Nick Robinson's Five Days That Changed Britain was not the revelation-fest BBC trailers led us to believe. Predictably, it turned out to be a mix of the banal and already-reported. I was almost knocked out my chair to discover Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown "didn't get on". My jaw hit the floor when it was revealed David Cameron thought Cleg […]

BP doctored photos....hilarity July 28, 2010

The BP photoshop mini-scandal is just one of the twigs branching off this tree of disaster. But, a funny one. Basically, BP put up a fake picture of it's 'Crisis […]

Noah's Ark Zoo in Wraxall, North Somerset has won a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality badge for its schools programme. This is surprising for two reasons. Firstly, an investigation by the Captive Animals Protection Society (CAPS) and the BBC Programme Inside Out found that the zoo was breeding tigers for a controversial circus owner and that staff […]
