"Occasionally he would sign them off LOL, lots of love. Actually, until I told him it meant 'Laugh Out Loud', and then he didn't sign them like that anymore," she said, blushing to the roots of her signature bright red curls. -
Coulson held £40,000 Murdoch shares while working at Number Ten
Andy Coulson today said politicians were keen to ingratiate themselves with The Sun.
During his testimony at the Leveson Inquiry, he admitted 'it is fair to say' that all politicians were keen to get close to the newspaper. -
And that rare thing, a Beatles re-rub that shouldn’t be drowned in a bucket:
and here is a you tube snippet on the making of the original... and the fact that it appeared recently on Mad Men - for a mere quarter million dollars! *
I'll leave as a link to boingboing as that is a place I get info about new music, books - what is weird fiction - and comics and other fun stuff...
like: man vs goose light sabre fight*and I'll drop my current obsessive link (again) here as well - an iconically pedestrian webcam - best viewed at night when the tourists are out in London...
... and yes Sofie, you are right,

Proofreader's report...
...speculated on which might befall Murdoch’s papers...
speculated on what might befall...
...which it presetly 43% owned by News Limited.
which is presently 43%...
Pimp my read...Murdoch was different from the old Express and Mail owners in the global scale of his business and in that he was “very overtly prepared to use that power … if you cross Murdoch, he will use the power of his media outlets to punish you...”
...let's not forget 'the bouncing Czech' Cap'n Bob or Lord Black of Crossharbour

Southerly: Liveblog: Moving House (Literally), in reply to Hebe,
....a school that runs from nursery, kindergarten, primary and secondary on the same site and it works amazingly well.
Oh that the Government might adopt the Steiner model more widely, but it wouldn't suit their market driven approach - and I have to say all the Steiner kids I have met, have been the kind of folk I'd like to see the future in the hands of, bright, engaged, caring, balanced...
the Hubbit...

...investigating the development of education campuses that could include early-childhood education, primary and secondary schools, and tertiary institutions on one site, along with social services.,
Hell, we used to call that a town...
The GC - Garden Centre...
<an aside> also scary to see the Australians retaliating
we sent them Mozzies and they've sent us fruity male strippers
er, voracious fruit flies...
