A Bar Chart for the Crewe and Nantwich Byelection
I have a leaked By Election Bar Chart from the Crewe and Nantwich byelection. I’m assuming that they won’t be using this one.
I am delighted to say that I am on blog hiatus until after the Crewe and Nantwich byelection has finished.
The point was made that the Labour figure is understood to be at least two. The reply was “It was estimated as one”.

Minder - Quote of the Day
I’m writing this post at 2:30am, having just switched on “Minder” on one of the minor ITV Channels. The first words that come out summarise the whole thing:
“My God, they’ve nicked Pongo. That’s a fly in the ointment.”
A TV series summarised in 11 words.
(For the sake of clarity, Pongo is a man and nicked is arrested; it’s not about someone having stolen a Yorkshire Terrier.)
Suicide Squirrel: Sony and Ofcom
First, have a look at these snippets.
Skydiver
Egg Mexican
Ofcom has decided that this is not suitable for viewing before 9pm on Television:
Sony Television came forward to us voluntarily and independently of the complaint
with a full disclosure of the incidents and admitted these scheduling errors. As Sony
Television recognised immediately when the compliance issues with this series were
pointed out, the subject matter of this animation was not suitable for broadcast before the watershed. Although the character shown was a cartoon squirrel, the content was darkly comic and adult in tone with a sharp contrast between the macabre and violent death scenes and the light-hearted music which accompanied them. The series was a cartoon and therefore more likely to attract children. Despite the fact that this channel is targeted at an adult audience, it was broadcast on an unencrypted service during the day, and children could have come across the series unawares.
What do you think?
I think they are hilarious.
Via.
