    The good news is that more people want to read about Beyonce's hair getting stuck in a fan than about one of several hundred women in Britain who had a baby yesterday. By all means let the furrn tourists be interested but I object to a broadcaster I pay for giving one woman's offspring prominence over hundreds of others born every day.
    I think....

    Sorry mate, I think we're (all) stuck with it for a few more days yet.

    @ Gen, I think just be terribly british and stick with a hand shake, old fruit!

    You and me both. However occasionally our misguided brethren cast us into a pit of confusion and despair.

    If ever we meet, then that is exactly what I shall do and refer to you as Mr Rali until I have your permission to address you as Gen:D.

    No thunder here, but it's already 25 degrees and 65% humidity. Phew!

    From midday, I'll have 2 infants for the price of one, as one of Isaac's schoolfriends, Caspar, is coming over for the rest of the day.

    Caspar! Should I wait and let PN do the honours? :)

    28 C already in my office on the top floor of my house. I am wearing shorts ......... and a watch. Hoping the doorbell is not going to ring.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Every one should do what I do and read fiction, much more satisfying at times like this.

    What is wrong with shorts and a watch? (Is it left or right handed?)

    Its cool but muggy and pressury here today.

    Yes...most read story on BBC news website at the moment:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23417699

    I really am more and more swayed by arguements of those supporting a republic at the moment :(

    "She continued to sing her encore while security guards tried to extract her from the fan,"

    Sing her encore, or lip-sync?
