Xmas Week

What a day. I promise not to bore you all with work stuff but today I was up at 4.30am due to good ole insomnia - a perennial bane of mine. I decided to go into work early and then soldiered on through a staggering seven hour back to back schedule of interviews so I could appoint a minion. In at 6.30am, left work at 5.10pm. So now I need some fun:

Of course, like me you immediately grasped the similarites between Calvin & Hobbes and the superb Fight Club - so you’ll enjoy this site.

Lost films here. I’ve seen about half of them which I think is pretty good as some of them are quite esoteric and therefore difficult to see.

Vintage Onion. I really think many of the staff writers have moved onto other things as they very rarely produce laugh out loud pieces as funny as this anymore.

Some incredible trick shots here - remember one of Minty’s golden rules - never play pool or cards against a man whose second name is a city. More here.

Being down with the kids that I am, I regret to say I’d not heard of The Towers of London until their charming experience in Peterborough City Centre on a tranquil Sunday afternoon.

Finally, a bit of a downer - from Free Will Productions (which hopefully eliminates any conspiracy theory concerns) here is a sobering examination of the war. Given Blair’s pathetic current attempts to bolster his historical standing as his premiereship comes to a close, this is a apt antidote. Don’t even get me started on the ludicrous excuses for the BAE corruption inquiry being curiously dropped….

Merry Xmas Hive-Slaves !! Be sure to be more productive next year….
