I liked this story about a human Cannonball being shot over the Mexican border. The whole family seem to be into it. his son, two daughters and a cousin are all regularly fired from one of five cannons they own It might be art, but it’s still pretty silly.
The news that Martin Jol has signed a three year extension to his Spurs contract is very good, I reckon. He seems well suited to the club and they’ve made a good start to the season. To be honest, there’s still not a great deal of hope for getting much of a result against Chelsea …
Out of all the joke images sent around following the July 7th bombs these two are my favourites
This photo was apparently taken at Tower Hill tube station today and gives some good advice about how not to get yourself shot on the tube:
Got to love this story about Ancient phallus unearthed in cave on the BBC site. One of the best things about it is the fact that they didn’t know what it was until they found the last piece. ‘…it was only with the discovery of a 14th fragment last year that they were able finally …

This letter to the terrorists from London pretty much sums up the way most people feel about the tube and bus bombings yesterday.
Luckily my travelling today didn’t overlap with any of the explosions, as my office is about half a mile outside of Liverpool Street, but it’s certainly causing a lot of disruption. No-one I know seems to be that badly affected either except for having to walk home. It will be interesting to see how the …
London has won the contest to host the 2012 Olympics, which is great news for all of us who live in East London and have been waiting for some infrastructure investment to give the area a lift for years. Victory is particularly good given that it was the French that lost, of course, given Chirac’s …
