    As in there or thereabouts. Goldsmiths had its share of nonsense last year too.

    Just can't recall ever hearing of this sort of thing in Manchester or Glasgow say.

    Never fear!

    While the polar ship itself will not be named Boaty McBoatface, one of its remotely operated sub-sea vehicles will be named Boaty in recognition of the vote.

    The guy who first suggested Boaty McBoatface is a friend of someone I work with.

    He's called James Hand but everyone calls him Bond, apparently. My colleagues wedding invite to him was addressed to Bondy McBondface. #bantz

    Remember years ago when cynical people like us drove the backlash against all things 'random'? Well that was pure randomness.

    My lesbo aunty is right into Harry Potter, and I once spied her collection taking pride of place on the bookshelf next to some ultimate strap-on guide.

    All of my friends who love Harry Potter are pretty smart. It always seems incongruous to me (I enjoyed the books but couldn't name a spell now), but I guess it's just nostalgic affection from those who still love to read. Also J.K. Rowling is a genius for nailing the mythology like she did.

    Ironic that he would cite Dickens. I wonder if he's read Hard Times.

    David Coburn, a Ukip MEP, earlier this year blamed the EU after finding it took his toaster four attempts to brown the bread sufficiently to spread marmalade, and the minutes show how politically fraught the issue has become.

    Pupils at a school in Dundee have been made to sign a 'no fouls' contract if they want to play football during break times.

    It came in response to "issues" during football games which have been "carried into" teaching time.
    Clauses include promising not to foul tackle other players, not to gloat, and promising to keep up school work

    Big day tomorrow. Another protest planned - and they have decided to march through the tourist area to try to garner some extra news coverage. This is turning quite quickly into an anti-government protest, rather than an anti-dead fish protest. About 4 bus loads of protesters were taken away last weekend, with about 4 or 5 of them beaten up.

    Facebook appears to have been blocked completely since this morning.

    I've just been detained by Viet police due to taking photos of folk being smacked and thrown into busses. 30 minute interrogation. I have to report to immigration on Monday morning.

    Well, it was nice whilst I was here.
