The lady who has “voiced the tube” for eight years has been sacked because of some tongue-in-cheek fake voice overs and (more importantly) for seeming to say that she hates the tube. Cue some terrible attempts at humour by the Telegraph.

Lots of useful business things at Mindtools (frameworks, discussions, guidance) – I’m tempted to subscribe (maybe through work). Not sure why I didn’t notice it before.
Cracking story (bad pun) from Aliblahblah (one of Caroline’s friends). Who knew kids could get foot-and-mouth?
Still looking for a better name for our company. The latest Kawasaki on it made me think of iTW – let’s go funky online.
We were sat on a table with Vince Cable at a friend’s wedding a few months ago (he is stepping out with a relation of the bride). As we sat down, I couldn’t see his surname, but didn’t know many people called Vince who I thought might be famous. I did a surreptitious Wikipedia on the way to the loo and realised who he was.
He eventually told us he was an MP (natural part of the conversation, not a position-drop) and then the table dived into a very interesting and wide-ranging conversation, only a small part of which was about the LibDem leadership.
I agree with the Jonza that the speculation about his future is crazy. Could we really have the leader of our third party elected on the back of a reasonably good parliamentary joke?
We have always celebrated the anniversary of our stepping out together. I managed to use the same day to propose, five years later so we are now celebrating both (we went to San Sebastian for our ten-year one, for example). I’m glad to see Jonny celebrates their proposal anniversary as well (congratulations, too). Although it does put in place yet another hard-to-buy present each year…
Interesting move by Facebook to team up with retailers and share information: automatically updating your Facebook profile with purchases you have made. I can see why people don’t like it – I choose what to post on my blog: it isn’t done for me. Without this control, I don’t know if I necessarily want to publicise my SlingBox (or equivalent)? And just imagine how many presents this could mess up: “I see you’ve bought X. Is that for me?”. Or maybe this is a previously-unseen Christian-right agenda to lessen adultery?
This feels like an April Fool, but I trust Roland, so therefore I want one.
Here’s Pegaus singing in Spain. You can’t miss me, I’m tall. And we rocked. Well done everyone.
