Can you put Humpty-Dumpty together again? Ed Balls

Hands off my website, you dirty rotten swine !

20080313-ed-balls-rearrangedEd Balls is living up to his name again. Via Mark Pack.

File this in the bizarre but true category: take a look at Ed Balls’s website, and in particular his terms and conditions for use of the site:

The User undertakes:
(a) that they will only view the Information for their own private purpose and it [sic] will not publish, reproduce, store or retransmit any of the Information contained in the Web Site

In other words, if you’re - say - a journalist you are not allowed to view his website as part of your job. Hmmm.

Awesome web design, though. It reminds me of one of those sliding tile puzzles that children so enjoy. Spot on for someone who is always going on about schools, and does so much mental arithmetic involving six figure mortgages and Commons Allowances.

It even has a blank spot to let you slide the tiles around; I’ve left that where the policies would normally go.

Can you put Humpty-Dumpty Together Again?

Rather wonderfully, there’s a website - slidingpuzzle.com - that let’s you build a puzzle from your own picture.

So, can you help Ed put his website back together again?

(Just to be kind, there’s a hint how it should look after the “more”).
