Listening to Ninjatune’s Keepintime album. Forgotten how f*cking amazing it is. Dirty electronic hip-hop at it’s purest.

244 Britons were admitted to hospital in 2008 because of ‘plant thorns and sharp leaves’. Brilliant data… http://bit.ly/aCATe
learning about the 100 best small companies to work for - according to the Sunday Times. and listening to Minotaur Shock. not tired yet.
Overheard in the newsroom: ‘Is Luxembourg a country?’
How can someone on a picture desk not know how to use Photoshop? The mind boggles.
Being back at work isn’t fun. Very slow start to the night. Will be here til sunrise as well, doing very tedious tasks unfortunately.
‘Attacks by US drones radicalizing Al Qaeda.’ Aren’t they already pretty radical?

Harriet Harman to be the next Labour leader? She’s abysmal! PMQs would certainly be more of a giggle though.
Watching an Intelligence Squared debate on BBC Parliament about the worth of the UN. Very sexy set for a rather less sexy subject.

Watching the Jared Diamond doc on More4. Had the book for months but still haven’t opened it…
In hangover mode (pyjamas + lots of tea) watching Total Wipeout on BBC1. It’s strangely addictive. And I do like Richard Hammond.
Last train home from Dartford to Gravesend. The night could still get worse. Will be on the lookout for a late night curry house. Mmm.
Ahh magic. There’s a fight. And police. I love retracing my roots. #dartford…
So it turns out there’s been about 4/5 arrests and it all came from the very comment about a kid’s hair that I tweeted earlier… Bizarre.
I forgot to mention that before the fights we all enjoyed a lovely buffet of jellied eels and cockles with pickled onions. Mmm. #dartford
Dartford is almost certainly the capital of ugly women and bad tattoos involving Chinese symbols.
“Look at that f*cking woofter out there with the f*cking stupid hair. F*cking idiot needs putting out of his misery”. Ahh, Dartford.
Jesus. I’m in the Conservative Club in Dartford listening to a man in his sixties singing a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Someone just ordered a kebab over the phone while on the train. That seems mad to me.
No matter how knackered I feel, listening to !!! always puts me in the mood to shake ma thang.
A lot of the really shitty tower blocks around southeast London look amazing in the dark. I love staircases.
RT @richardpbacon Just saw Bill O’Reilly (Fox) discuss a murder trial and end with, ‘I wouldn’t normally do this, but she’s guilty’. Amazing

Ja-haard-ists?? John Hutton clearly took one too many BBC pronunciation pills before hitting the Today programme.
So basically, if you don’t fancy that blonde welsh singer you won’t have any reason to buy a paper today.
Why so much noise about the #Brits? It’s pants!
