		<description><![CDATA[Back in UK after our French holiday and greeted by an orgy of media comment on the first 100 days of the Cameron/Clegg coalition. I did not learn anything significant from it that l did not already know. Not because my colleagues in the mainstream press were not doing their job properly.
On the contrary. They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to an email from a scientist friend, I have been alerted to the news that BBC Radio Four is to put the Qwerty keyboard on trial on Wednesday morning at 9 AM. The flier tells me:

All rise for Judge Stephen Fry, in whose court the Qwerty keyboard stands trial.

The Qwerty keyboard was invented in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two sparrows are chasing each other across the roof of the house opposite, watched by a pigeon sittting on a telegraph pole in the grey light of a cloudy dawn. A sea gull circles around, swooping down gently flapping its pure white wings. Just now two small black shapes have entered the picture. Swallows, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of the saddest blogs I have written. David Laws is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent and able members of the new coalition cabinet. As the number two to George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was nobly shouldering the principal responsibility for introducing the unpopular cuts in public expenditure which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The new Europe minister, David Liddington, is a pro-European, unlike the man who held the job in the Conservative shadow cabinet. The fact that Cameron has made this change suggests that he is fully aware that the Conservatives need to make their voice heard in Europe. The appointment sends an unmistakeable signal to Europe that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When 28 people sit around a table to make decisions, only a few of them manage to say something effective before the decision is taken. This I know from lots of rather good academic research on what happens when human beings join in such meetings. And from my own personal experience, starting 59 years ago [...]]]></description>

None of the entries I saw, which ranged from Flanagan and Allen, Ant and Dec to Wooster and Jeeves were remotely appropriate. Most [...]]]></description>
