My eyes! My eyes!
The Daily Mail website has published a photo of Gillian “Terrahawk” McKeith in a PVC catsuit. Aren’t there laws about that kind of thing? /pours domestos into eyes

Let’s twitch again, like we did last summer
A few days before we left America, The Twitch came back. It’s something I get when I’m not getting enough sleep: a pulsing in the lower eyelid that drives you nuts but that other people generally can’t see. But this time it’s got creative: instead of a single twitching eyelid, my eyes are taking it…

American cars
When I was away I drove a Dodge Charger, a big dumb car that I’m reliably informed is the choice of annoying people with no class. Which, of course, is why I chose it. And you know what? I loved it. Sure, it doesn’t go around corners, but the Americans have solved that problem by…

Hello, hello
Apart from the lost passports, the panicky discussions with the embassy, the scary drive, the delays, the missing suitcase, the damaged-in-transit baby seat, the jet lag and the huge bloody hole the electricity board has dug in my driveway… it’s good to be back. I might even blog about something soon, most likely Terminal 5…

Going away for a bit
I’m off for a fortnight, so I’ll leave you with this photo of baby Bigmouth. The pic was taken by David, and it’s a vivid illustration of the need for actual talent as well as decent kit. I have a good camera. I don’t end up with photos like that. (Photo courtesy of David. All…

Flat Earth News
As one of the cover quotes puts it, if even half of what Nick Davies writes in his expose of the news industry is true then things are truly terrifying. The stuff on Iraq, the neutering of the Sunday Times Insight team and the problems of “churnalism” have been covered elsewhere, so I won’t go…

Sodding spammers, again
I’ve disabled user registration (temporarily) because the bloody spammers are back, and I don’t have time to do major security stuff today. Sorry for any inconvenience and/or crap in your RSS feeds… [Thanks for the heads-up, Kyle]
