There will be another Stop The War demo in London on Saturday. Arrangements will be very similar to the one on February 15th, but see the Stop The War Coalition’s web page for more details and to keep informed about other forthcoming events.

Oh Bloody Hell!
The US and the UK have announced that they have given up on trying to get a second UN resolution on Iraq. Bush is speaking to the US tonight. Blair has called an emergency Cabinet meeting. Robin Cook has resigned as Leader of the House of Commons. This is it people. War is imminent.

Yesterday we were at a friend’s wedding. Someone organised a sweepstake on the combined length of the after-dinner speeches. It was £10 to enter so I took a chance. I didn’t get the time spot on, but I was one of two people who got closest to the actual time, so they split the prize… Continue reading Free Money

They show it at 10:40pm on Sunday night, then afterwards they have a really lame program called Pure 24 where people with no lives discuss the current episode in great… Continue reading 24
Grammar
I go online sometimes, but everyone’s spelling is really bad. It’s… depressing. Tara – Buffy the Vampire Slayer I’m having one of my periodic phases when I get really wound up by the illiteracy that is so prevalent on the internet. Sometimes I find IRC incredibly painful. Grammar tip of the week: Remember, “install” and… Continue reading Grammar
