G’day, you’re Bruce! You think like a philosopher, especially after you’ve had a few cold ones…Australia RULES!

What Monty Python Sketch Character are you? brought to you by Quizilla

By the way, both these memes are on Quizilla, which has recently been demonstrating an annoying behaviour in Opera (present in 8.02 and 8.50, not tested in the version 9 preview yet) whereby a click anywhere in the page expands the menu on the left. So selecting an option in question one expands the menu and hides the text of question two. This is the sort of thing that User JS can fix, but before I start examing Quizilla’s JavaScript to find the problem, does anyone know if anyone else has already done the work?

Went up to town today for a bit of shopping. Took one look at the wall of rucksacks in the tube station and decided to walk from Victoria to the West End (nice little stroll past St James’s Park and the Admiralty, etc.). Then at Forbidden Planet there was a huge queue ‘cos Simon Pegg was doing a signing, but they’d put the queue out the back so it didn’t interfere much at all with normal shopping (well what passes for normal in FP). But if the queue for Simon Pegg was as long as the one I saw today I dread to think how long the queue will be next week when Neil Gaiman is signing…

I nearly made it out of FP with wallet intact. Then I saw something that I had to have. So I spent £25 on a tee-shirt. Gulp. So, quick quiz. Who can guess what’s in the tee-shirt?

Lettice is out doing karaoke tonight so I’m home on my home listening and sometimes watching the fireworks. We’re nice and high up so I can see loads of displays. Tomorrow is the big display at Crystal Palace and I hope we get a good view of that as well.

Wales 3 - New Zealand 41.

Ross Kemp beaten up a woman. Seem like that episode of Extras was rather close to the truth.

So there I was, just taking a lunchtime stroll around More London and as I turn around who is right behind me? Michael Portillo.

Freaky. I thought yesterday was Holloween.

I’ve only ever seen Tory politicians around London (Edwina Curry in a very frightening red jacket; and, of course, Boris Johnson nearly roding his bike into a crowd of us outside The Two Chairmen pub). I guess all the Labour types are tucked up nice and warm in their ministerial offices, etc., whilst the poor old Tories are left to wander to streets. My heart somehow fails to go out to them.
