Glass Box for Tuesday 7:30pm on 29 Apr 2008 Punch and Judy - Oh why couldn't we hear William Hague's wonderful skit on the PM receiving Tony Blair as the newly elected President of Europe? It was eye wateringly funny.
Mapping the Credit Crunch 7:25pm on 29 Apr 2008 DO I really have to vote every time I would like to view the map? I suspect that this might skew the results a tad.
The Glass Box for Monday. 8:22pm on 28 Apr 2008 Shouldn't that be due to "immoderation"?
Rubbish 8:21pm on 28 Apr 2008 Dear Frances O @ 6 - I think that its Derren Brown about to do a card trick..
Rubbish 8:18pm on 28 Apr 2008 Dear CG @ 9 - Yes I do that and it drives them mad - particlularly when I ask to see the Manager to enquire as to why during the summer the on-site petrol station has the air-conditioning on at full blast, with the door propped open, wasting untold amounts of energy. Answer "because it gets too cold", I just despair......
The Glass Box for Monday. 8:11pm on 28 Apr 2008 AL @7 & 8 - and wotz moor it shoudlnve be capitalized.
The Glass Box for Monday. 8:10pm on 28 Apr 2008 My God!! What did "2" say?!?!
Suggest a story for May 3 5:50pm on 26 Apr 2008 It's Sandy Toksvigs 50th - why not ask her?

Failing that, something on Ecotowns?
Just been sent this: the four stages of life. 2:01pm on 26 Apr 2008 Dear White Rat,

You are quite right I stand corrected - I really should spend more time thinking before I type. There are still too many people, though. And the climate system is changing in a way which treatens civilisation on a scale never seen before, and for which we are currently underprepared. And both are "our" fault, and inextricably linked. And some people have more choices open to them, and that is usually associated with having money. Some people are often less equipped, or cannot be bothered, to reflect on the choices open to them.

That's why I get nervous at the suggestion that "we" restrain "their" breeding - particularly as on a simple intellectual level such a proposal has a certain appeal, which found a great deal of favour in certain parts of Europe between the First and Second World Wars. It certainly doesn't help that those people whos lifestyles may appeal to the "Chav and Hoodie" family appear to happy to espouse population growth supported by the State as a sensible way forwards, which is where my argument started.

And thanks for defending the Working Class, being a member of it.
Just been sent this: the four stages of life. 12:19pm on 26 Apr 2008 Dear David@50 Yep I get that all the time. Doesn't mean I'm wrong though. Or right. I'm just trying to tease out the assumptions, facts and models that these arguments and positions are based upon.
