          Hodgewatching
 London Student's campaign Hodgewatch launched this week, with the aim of drawing attention to the lack of attention that Higher Education Minister Margaret Hodge pays to those in Higher Education.
 
 If you are a UK student please visit the site and make your voice heard!  It is at http://www.hodgewatch.co.uk, so tell everyone you know as well.
 
 These are the stats on it:
 Since launching on May 10th the petition has had 16 signatures.
 6 from University College London
 5 from Essex University
 2 from Greenwich University
 1 from Bath University
 1 from Imperial College
 1 from London University (unspecified)
 
 Yeh.. do you see how I adopted neutral e-mail forward voice for the above (before the stats)? This is so you can Tell A Friend with clever use of copy and pasting!

          Hehe, a nice e-mail today from William Altreuter.  Last night while unable to blog I mentioned it on the Blogger discussion board: it's headed  'Occasional notes on a glamor professional' and I was confused to see that it was then all about law.  Y'see here in England (I think) glamor professional would be a euphemism for topless model or anything else that I'm not going to write here for fear of The Wrong Sort of People being referred here, but mainly topless model.  It seems that in America though, glamor professional should actually be taken to say glamorous professional.  
 William said 'Even in the US most people recognise I'm being ironic'.
 
 Poor Americans, everyone thinks you don't understand irony cos you're too stupid or whatever and  you know what? It gives you a great advantage because it means everybody around you who's not American doesn't get your irony or sarcasm or whatever.  My lovely friend Rachel who never writes used to have great fun with this during her year in London; nobody ever understood she was taking the piss out of them and they'd carry on with their patronising stereotypical remarks about how all Americans are stupid and ridiculous.  We're so rude to you, I don't know why you put up with it.  It's not as if we don't have people as stupid as George Bush here and yet we think we're so damn clever.  You might have bizarre beauty pageants but we have worm-charming contests and people who don't know why their toaster is broadcasting BBC World Service even though they live next to a transmitter.
 
 It is just envy of course, we used to own you and now you've wandered off and become the most powerful country in the world and never, ever wish you were a colony again.  Funny that.
 
 But that wasn't my problem with William's site, I was just being thick and thought I might have clicked on the Sort of Site That Gets You Suspended from College.  Luckily his site is merely a look at the most glamorous profession of them all, Law!
 
 Go there now!

          Sorry for the lack of formatting down on the listings this week, but it's too much hasle too edit them only to have the browser shut down on me.  Damn you cookies and Netscape!!
 I wonder how much I can slag off Netscape without being sued? Obviously none of the views expressed in this Lair are the views of Blogger, Frank the Cat, or indeed Me.

 television programmes
 classics, "Must See TV"
 Tuesday May 14th and Wednesday 15th,  21.00, BBC2													The Experiment
 Sensationalism meets science in this four part fly-on-the-wall experiment which replicates the Stanford Prison Experiment (see below) and studies the effects of imprisonment and power.  It may be a little too Machiavellian to achieve a true picture of what happens when ordinary people go to jail but should be interesting nonetheless.
 
 programmes worth watching out for, which don't make it to MSTV status
 Saturday May 11th, 22.00, BBC2	The Stanford Prison Experiment
 Previewing The Experiment, this documentary looks at the original
 prison experiment which ended in disaster after five days.  The psychologist
 leading the experiment warned other scientists never to try it again…

 Thursday May 16th, 21.50, BBC2				Crime Kids
 This follows what happened to two tearaways, 'Balaclava Boy' and 'Spider Boy' who were focused upon in the press ten years ago.  While Gareth Brogden's story ended when he died in police custody at the age of eighteen, Tom Laws has spent half his life in jail.  The film will follow him as he is released, goes through the probation system, attempts to hold down a job and soon goes on the run.  It should be a very useful look at how the system works with young, persistent offenders.

          How sad
 As anyone who lives in Britain or has ever visited Britain will know, we don't DO coffee.  But it seemed as if we were finally getting somewhere and I was pretty much accustomed to buying Latte instead of coffee because you know it's going to be better than the horrid filter stuff (except in Borders on Charing Cross road where they do special filtered coffee), even if it was a tad more expensive.
 
 But then it all goes wrong.  I'm currently drinking the nastiest sourest latte in the world.  And it was supposed to cheer me up before facing The Library.  And now I have no faith in latte anymore.

          The Campaign for One Browser
 Well, Donncha made an elequent point in this debate:
 
 "One reason for having more than one browser, think bio-diversity in nature, now that farmers concentrate on one crop, if a blight strikes they're ruined."
 
 But I'm not entirely convinced.  For farmers have persisted in trying to find better and better and more efficient ways to do things and we end up with mad cow disease, dodgy GM crops and chickens that literally sit there till they're slaughtered.  At least we do in England :) But I see the point.
 
 In an attempt to appease what is obviously a raw nerve, I hereby nominate Donncha's browser, Galeon to be the singular browser to be used by the entire world.  It is certainly very pleasant.  There may be some screenshots here, but erm.. I can't view them on this browser.
 
 Perhaps this is just a bad day.

          The Campaign for One Browser
 Certainly without wishing to turn this worthy campaign into a slagging off session of Netscape, it is annoying that one has to write in the html tags for links and things in Blogger where you don't in IE.  And why should the marvellous Ev spend his life creating a Blog Edit point that works everywhere?
 
 Hmph.
 Posted by Clare at 4:43 PM  [+]
 ...
 
          
          The Campaign For One Browser
 Wow! A response! Thank you to Donncha, who said:
 
 "It is tongue in cheek right? one browser? argh :) I think you're looking for "one standard" and Netscape certainly isn't it, neither is IE.
 Thankfully IE and Mozilla (and other browsers too) are working towards the standards defined by the w3 (I think), anyway, take a look at www.alistapart.com for more, again, I think.. in work and busy!
 
 Your site looks perfectly ok in Mozilla which'll be what powers the next generation of AOL browsers, it's also at the heart of Netscape 6 so the futures is looking good for diversity!"
 
 Hmm... so you see, I know nothing about it.  But the debate should continue.  Perhaps if all browsers support particular standards (Donncha's link led me to this article) that would be good, but still seems a tad pointless.
 
 Of course, by continually creating brand new browsers that do sexy new things the big companies are really just forcing us all to spend money to upgrade.  Surely we've figured out what we want and need on a browser now and one could be built that was on all communal computers and that was good.  Because my problem is, I use loads of different computers, many of which I can't download to and I'm stuck with all these different ways of viewing things and it's annoying to spend time designing for the browser that you happen to be on only to find it looks crap somewhere else.
 
 But.. I don't know a lot about it so do contribute your own thoughts. Thanks Donncha!

          This website may look bad on Netscape, but at least it's readable.  Many Blogs have the text all over the place.
 Why the hell am I still being forced to be involved in this stupid archaic system? Yes, I know Netscape is supposed to be some brave and lovely anti-Microsoft thing, and indeed is cheaper, but why can't we all use one system? It's when everyone is using different ways that WARS HAPPEN.
 
 I hereby start the Campaign for One Browser.  One, Free, Good Browser that everything is compatible with.  It should be the right of us all, even the Poor.  This, people, will be Clare's Lair's contribution to society.  Well, it won't be cos someone else will have to create and distribute it but it's my idea.  Ha!

 Recieved a copy of Don Hale's book yesterday - it is excellent.  More when I've read it - but well worth getting so far! Don Hale was a newspaper editor who campaigned for six years to overturn Britain's longest miscarriage of justice and the victim, Stephen Downing, was released last year.  Town Without Pity is the story of the whole case.

 Still funny after one year - lucky thing.  Some of us have run out of time and humour and are reduced merely to trumpet blowing over Google - a pleasure that no doubt ran out ages ago for clever people like Mr Poofle and Ms Wannabe Weblog.  Lucky, lucky things.
 
 However, do they have interesting creature photo-reportage and crime programmes? Lair thinks not...

 criminal justice story lines in the main soaps during april/may
 The big CJ storyline this month is in Eastenders, where Little Mo, Crimewatching can exclusively reveal (to those who don’t watch TV), was found guilty of attempted murder.  See how she’s getting on in jail this month. (She’s received 6000 letters from the general public so far . . . . .
 In Brookside, Ron is having problems coping with life outside jail and in Emmerdale, Marc has been released from the Young Offenders Unit at a cost.
 Coronation Street sees the return of Linda, so it turns out that Mike did not murder her after all.  Phew.
