Aw. Just came across some very nice pictures of the baby Llama at Mudchute City Farm, and the other animals here.

It's time to start blogging again.

Not least because I face the prospect of unemployment in a matter of weeks.

I stopped properly blogging here because I was keen to get the London Student blog up and running, but as I finish there at the end of the month it will no longer be my baby.

So lot's has changed since I was here a year ago, trying to do my dissertation and failing. Later I might update my links, and I might rant about just how angry the BBC/Govt/Dr Kelly row has made me (I blame Labour).

Yay!

Well, haven't been on a proper surf for some time now, amazing what you come across.

This is h2g2 - I vaguely remember reading a mention of it in Douglas Adams' fantastic pothumous collection The Salmon of Doubt. An edited stack of stuff put in by people just like you and me, the wonders within can only be imagined at this stage...

Also looked up the Wodehouse society who worship the great PG. Having thus far enjoyed four books, whose titles escape me at the moment but no doubt I shall add them in if I ever do concentrate on creating an online Amazon bookshop (does it make money for anyone?).

Happy Easter

And even if you don't celebrate it in the Christian sense, you can still Save Sallies Bunnies. These rabbits in Watford are under threat by neighbourly and council meanness. Sign the petition now.

Ooh, who has a new camera?



This is the evil potato.



Nearly as scary as the squid...



Scarier

God! Meet the Collossal Squid!



The researchers say: "This animal, armed as it is with the hooks and the beak that it has, not only is colossal in size but is going to be a phenomenal predator and something you are not going to want to meet in the water." We're doomed!

I love giant squid stories...
