Disturbing half-naked men in the doors of Abercrombie…

Disturbing half-naked men in the doors of Abercrombie... - I got chased off by a shop assistant, even though I didn't even find him attractive...Disturbing half-naked men in the doors of Abercrombie…, originally uploaded by Tom Coates. Now I went shopping on Oxford Street today. Something about my shopping trip was very different to Tom’s experience in San Francisco. I think it must have been a little warmer there than it was here.

From The Sky Newsdesk

Since Sky gave Sky News a little bit of an overhaul I have been keeping an eye on the Live at 5 weblog with Jeremy Thompson which I think is an interesting behind the scenes look at the way a news programme is put together. Maybe it’s not as good as the live election gallery feed earlier this year – I wish they’d do more of that – but a nice try nonetheless and they seem to be keeping it going much better than The Guardian did with their Editors’ Weblog.

Hearing about a day from the presenter’s viewpoint – or about their thoughts on a story – can be fascinating. Take last Friday, ‘The news of the shooting of two young policewomen in West Yorkshire broke just as I was about to go on air to present Live at 5 on Friday. For the next four hours I was in the hot seat as this tragedy unfolded.’ [More at Live at 5 weblog with Jeremy Thompson]. I hope they manage to keep it up.

Admonished By A Snack Food Wrapper

I love Anna’s writing. Captain Crisps and FagEndBoy is one of my favourites:

It’s got to take the shine off your manhood, being publically admonished by a snack food wrapper.

Little Red Boat certainly has a way with words, she makes me laugh almost every day.

On A Lighter Note

It’s time to lighten the mood a little bit really. All this talk of Olympics and Motor Racing at Silverstone is making the site a little butcher than it should be. Thanks to Steph and Alek who pointed me to live8boys we can all enjoy the images of cute boys at the Live8 concert in Philadelphia. Making Poverty History never looked so good.
