A look in the mirror may be all it takes.
Indeed. Because I'm starting to get this urge to sew two buttons onto one of my socks and start talking to it.

that triggers this: has anyone else been totally put off Fresh Up© by their new "Thirst is Creepy" ad on the telly...
It's one of two ads I'll change channel to avoid. The other is the 'women get bored easily' ad which made me invent a new classification: "offensive even for a Lynx ad".
My tolerance may have been lowered by not watching a lot of broadcast tv any more.

Can't chris, dd robbie etc chat amongst themselves without your guidance?
Let me simplify for you. Yes, of course they can. Oddly, the internet is a very big place.
What you don't appear to understand is that Russell is under no obligation to provide a forum for people to make repeated shitty personal attacks. If people are compelled to do that, there are plenty of places to do it.
What he is obliged to do, from common sense, business and sheer not-being-an-arsehole points of view is to keep this a civil place that the majority of people feel comfortable in. You're telling him he should have let it keep on going ad nauseum, other people are telling him he should have shut it down sooner. The fact that all you can do now is make snide personal remarks about Russell isn't really doing your case a lot of good.
It just looks like you shut it down cos it was going in a direction you didn't want to hear and this time it seemed you were outnumbered by some well informed govt document quoting theorists.
Um, no it doesn't. After all,
your reading audience is intelligent, they can figure it out for themselves.
You've made your point, and we've assessed it. Perhaps you could let it go now?

a massive development for Peter Robinson (First Minister of NI) to lose his seat
Well, Peter Robinson's had a bit of a rough time lately.

Mr Shirtcliffe should really be more careful about what he does with his email address. Somebody might do something unscrupulous with it for kicks.

The BBC Friday Night Comedy Podcast is currently running four days a week (severely impacting on my productivity) running the Vote Now Show. This is basically how I get all my information on the British elections.
how the British public are finally realising how fundamentally undemocratic a system FPP is
This is what's really fascinating me: that the sheer three-horse-raceness of it is creating a real awareness of and pressure for electoral reform in Britain. Which would be ace, and is the reason I'm hoping the Lib Dems do really well.

Oh man... Jen got an article in the Guardian, leading to what is now my favourite critical comment:
I sense this is but another PR/Propaganda stunt in the run-up to the inevitable US war with Iran.
My mother, also, has been enormously supportive of my support for Boobquake, but I expected that given her contributions to my wardrobe.

An English friend just introduced me to this site, perhaps the worst/most amusing thing you can do to your cat.

her bonhomie, fun and charisma
Wait, she has Charisma too?
I am of course going to think of this every time we drive past that statue now.

Heh, I forgot to link to this, from Jen's blog: the boobquake results are in. (Could be slow loading: Jen's site seems to have been somewhat impacted by the publicity.)
And y'know, I'm gonna let y'all draw your own conclusions about Jen's intelligence and self-awareness. (Also I'm quite tempted to buy an "I heart cephalopods" tshirt.)
Also, I'm impressed by Jen's attitude to Westboro Baptist Church's latest dick move:
Constance, you should see the WBC's attention as a badge of honor. By standing up for your rights and helping gay students across the country, you became so awesome that WBC wants to waste their time on you
I might have a bit of a blog-girl-crush.
