If people can only learn one thing from Adriana’s piece in NMA this week, I hope it is this:
In more situations than 99% of the human population can currently conceive, it is entirely possible for the demand side to supply itself.

That’s the title of Adriana Cronin-Lukas’s powerhouse opinion piece in the first issue of New Media Age of 2006, which is published tomorrow (today was one of those times when I ended up with advanced copy from the publisher). It really does pack a punch, laying out so many of the concepts and forces that […]

Here’s all you need to know about George Galloway, friend of Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Eve Ensler, Saddam Hussein, and those well-intentioned people who marched alongside him in London against the war in Iraq.
Finally, some of those friends have started to wake up to what people like Harry and I were blogging more than […]

For the search engines’ sakes, I just have to say that Dr Grant Paterson (call him Dr Grant) at the Bryer Wallace Dental Practice in Knightsbridge is fantastic. I have always enjoyed going to the dentist (because I am blessed with good teeth and don’t go very often), but Dr Grant is so helpful and […]

I got this (WARNING: Flash wankery!) on DVD for £5.99 at Borders last week, and we watched it at the weekend. I didn’t know what to expect, but what I got was far from what I expected. (That last sentence makes about as much sense as the film does. I don’t mean that as a […]

Can’t sleep. At my most worried - and thankful.
Email to Antoine, early yesterday morning: “This day not good. Can’t wait to see you and talk tonight.”
I called as soon as my train emerged from the tunnel at Finchley Road. “You’re coming to meet me? Okay, I’m stopping at the Thameslink station to get my Travelcard […]

I’ve been enjoying an awesome weekend away from the computer, but I have been alerted to a couple of things which I really must post.
Guy Herbert has linked to a spine-tingling transcript from the first day of the ID Cards Bill committee stage:
Lord Gould of Brookwood: Both the previous speakers—the latter with great […]

I knew I was going to have one of these soon, but I didn’t think it would be in Rome.
Last Monday, Antoine and I had just sat down at an ideal table at one of Insalata Ricca’s restaurants when a woman speaking both fluent English and fluent Italian sat down, with a friend, at […]

As someone who’s been a big fan of hers for years, this is delightful to see. You deserve it, Sara.

Well, a lot of them, anyway. Check out the moblog to see the full catastrophe. (I also changed the photo on the sidebar here, to one taken in Rome on one of the happiest days of my life. It seemed like a good thing to do right now - and if not now, when?)

“The problem with this town is, you’ve got Catholics AND socialists determined to keep businesses shut whenever they see fit. But at least with the Catholics, that’s fewer than seven days a week.”
