Hanging around

The first in what I hope will be a regular series of sketches on LabourList from Labour's answer to Quentin Letts, Sadie Smith... and I've nicked the picture because I like it. How great would it be to abseil down Big Ben? You would just have to do the hanging off the big hand thing though, while you were at it, wouldn't you?

Juxtaposed with U (2)

By which I don't mean Juxtaposed with U2, which doesn't sound at all appealing.

I've just been looking at Sadie's Tavern, and she's talking about Femail too. Second day in a row, actually. But so far I don't think either Sadie or Michael White have mentioned bingo wings, so there is still a small spark of originality contained somewhere within my blog.

Have also just looked up inertia on Wikipedia. Not a good idea. (You have to see previous comments on Juxtaposed with U to know what I'm on about). Then I looked up the dictionary definition, which is this. Surely 'disinclination to motion, action, or change' includes 'can't be bothered to blog'?

On a completely unrelated point, I saw a shop in Southmead yesterday called 'Your Smak'. I assume it's a Polish word as the Polish delicatessen up Church Road is called 'Smakus'. Quite amusing I thought.
