Well the party conference season is almost over and that means that life has almost returned to reality and I’ll be able to get back to this blog very soon with real content, I promise.

In the meantime may I direct you to a few other sites:

BSFA AWARDS OPEN

Niall at Torque Control says all that I could want and more… Get nominating you mugs.

COOL 2000AD TEE SHIRTS

Sadly I doubt whether even their XL would cover my left tit, but these are cool tee-shirts. I lust after the Harlem Heroes, Strontium Dog and Eat Plutonium versions. How cruel is it to make geeky tee-shirts and then not make them in sizes that real geeks can wear?

THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION

Courtesy of Engadget - soon I need never step outside again.

PRINCE IS COOL

Apropos of nothing, I would just like to thank The Observer for giving away Prince’s Sign o’ the Times dvd with their paper today and reminding me just how funky a song Housequake is.

FRIDAY FLASH

I know it seems like I’ve forgotten, but I haven’t. I’ve just been too busy. I have stories in books that need to be typed up, I hope to post three this week in a mad catch-up exercise.

And now I pass you back to a miserable, cold Blackpool for the Conservative Conference and the opportunity for boundless comedy at their depthless ineptitude. Because, yes, a cut in inheritance tax is exactly the kind of radical thinking that’s going to put them back in touch with middle England.
