Maybe encourage local restaurateurs to bring it back onto the menu? It's rather nice when paired with a semi-sweet wine, as I discovered in France.

PS Sorry for that bit on the end. I started the video 4s in to miss a similar bit off the front. I didn't quite make it to the end of the clip I was so annoyed.

Would you be so comfortable if a group of men on TV were discussing a 'revenge' rape or an honour killing and one said he thought it was 'quite fabulous'? Would that be acceptable?

Someone posted this up on the Guardian site. Considering the sanctions handed out (quite rightly) to Andy Gray and co, should Sharon Osbourne ever be allowed on TV again after this piece of quite sexist and quite revolting advocacy of mutilation and domestic violence? And as for the laughter of the audience, words fail me. Such a light hearted and fun topic. Not. At least Sara Gilbert tried to inject some sanity.

Why now? The Milly Dowler revelations. People found celebrities and politicians being hacked mildly amusing. But the deletion of messages on Milly Dowler's phone opened the floodgates. And once something like this picks up momentum, it's very hard to stop.

... and in today's 'Resignation of the Day', Yates of the Yard has gone...

LM - are you behind this?

I am loving this photo... http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/4/16/1271420598837/Rupert-Murdoch-and-Rebeka-001.jpg

Sadly, the sunflowers are now past their best.

Am I the only one to think that any spectator yelling, "Get in the hole!!" should be immediately escorted from the course and given a life ban from any televised tournament?

So, 'United Kingdom' it is then, Alan...

Apparently the 'appointment' for her arrest was made on Friday. Which makes her resignation motives a bit clearer...

And Brian May's hair. Dyed.

The exclusion zone was for all international shipping, Argentinian or otherwise, to stay away from the area. That doesn't mean the 'conflict' was confined to that area.

Agreed. And the many marigolds they planted too.

Writing about maths is fractionally more interesting than some subjects, but often it's hard to differentiate. We all have our limits, you know. Cosined, Me and i.

Whilst no one wants to see anyone killed, there was a war on and the Argentines were still occupying the Falklands at the time.

How come DH are getting the nice new stairs and everything and down at poor old ED we got a lean-to?

It still sounds like you are claiming "It's The 38 Degrees Wot Won It". Well at least that's what your website is claiming, anyway.

You should eat more spinach then, Sue. Or something.

That site has an interesting MO - almost like a tabloid newspaper, ironically. Start a campaign and then, even though your involvement is not at all pivotal (or even noticeable in this case), claim your 'victory'. Murdoch capitulated in the face of a pretty rare united front from the public. The Guardian and Nick Davies, the Hacked Off campaign, Tom Watson MP and Hugh Grant can all take a bow. I'm really not sure 38 Degrees had a whole lot to do with it. (Incidentally, 38 degrees is not the 'tipping point' of an avalanche either. You should pop along to one of Henry's Avalanche Talks. I'm not sure you could actually have a tipping point, as such, for an avalanche. The angle of a mountain isn't known for changing very rapidly.)

Zowie Bowie was born Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones (since his father's real name is David Jones), so he didn't so much change his name as revert back to his birth name.
