Vote Saxon!
Someone at the Herts and Essex Observer appears to have a sense of humour. (This may or may not be obvious after Saturday, should you be reading this then) (And yes, I appear to have been memed by Mr Graham – answers soonish, hopefully)
And through social networking I shall have that power!
Seems like everyone’s got a Facebook profile these days… (via Mat B)
Who is the true son of the manse?
‘Son of the manse’ is one of those stock phrases that crops up in profiles of Gordon Brown, the assumption being that his ‘dour nature’ (another profile-writers cliche) and all sorts of things about him can be explained by the fact that his father was a minister in the Church of Scotland. While that description [...]
Tales for Christmas
It seems the good Doctor can triumph over even the hardest Murdochian hearts, as the Sunday Times give us Paul Cornell’s ‘Deep and Dreamless Sleep’. And if that’s far too uncynical for your tastes, try HL Mencken’s ‘A Bum’s Christmas’ (via Jamie).

I discovered how to make videos on the computer, so now I’m having a world of fun while I should be doing other things. Anyway, if you want to see what I can do with a Mercury Rev song and a Doctor Who episode then click here. (More information and download options here.)
Everything old is new again
I’m just like the Doctor, me – going off and looking at shiny things and being captivated by them and only doing what I was meant to be doing at the last minute. In other words, thoughts on New Earth can be found after the cut.
I wish it could be Christmas every day
OK, so it’s a bit late, but I’ve finally got round to writing about The Christmas Invasion, with just a few hours to spare before it’s no longer the most recent Doctor Who episode. Of course, I could always backdate this review and make it look like it appeared on time, but where’s the fun [...]
