A bunch of snippets of The Guardian’s fabulous TV reviewer, as she celebrates 40 years at the paper. Her description of the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest made me do two genuine LOLs.

A business school grilling for Curt Schilling?

Curt, we’ll always love you for “the bloody sock” and 2004. Always.

Chromium Blog: 40,000 More Extensions!

Luma Loop

I bought one of these, and wore it for the first time yesterday at the Dog Show. It was fabulous. Kept my camera out of the way, but quick to pull up and use. Would definitely recommend.
