A good read

Now this is a book, or to be more specific a number of books, I would like to have adorning my book shelves and available for bedtime reading, if only I had the required space!

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, published yesterday, costs a 'mere' £7000 and takes up 12 feet of shelf space! It's biographies are of some 50,000 individuals who are considered to have shaped Britain into what it is today and includes those such as Stephen Lawrence, Linda McCartney, Queen Victoria and the Dunblane mass murderer Thomas Hamilton.

I wonder if there is an Adobe version I can download?!!!

Other items in the news that caught my eye this morning are the reports of Iranian bloggers protest against censorship by renaming their blogs after banned publications and this article, for obvious reasons, concerning a man who prevented a woman throwing herself off the Cliff at Beachy Head.

Oh... and finally this seems a little severe. Janet Jackson and her antics don't normally interest me but come on, accident or not, this was after all only a breast! It may be considered inappropriate to some but I find it slighly insulting that the momentary sight of a woman's breast can be deemed 'indecent' in any circumstances.

Perhaps Judy Finnigan should call her lawyer!
