A great deal of people are having a laugh at the expense of the Conservative (UK) Party’s leader, Iain Duncan Smith. It seems Madame Tussaude’s is refusing to do a waxwork of IDS becuase he is not “exciting” enough. Besides being an affront to tradition and in bad taste, it seems MT is sucking up to the Blair government in a disgusting way. You think the owners might just want a government bail-out for their losses since 9/11? In the great leftist tradition, I think we shoud all boycott the place until they give the poor man his due.

Of course to be honest, I find MT’s a vile tourist trap. Now I have a great excuse for missing this “cultural” landmark.

In more pleasant news, I have just added a great link to the left side of this page.More than Zero, a great site. It is well worth a daily visit. Why I haven’t added it before now, I will never know.

I have heard some really bad news for all that love their rock to be hard. VH-1, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to can the Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance from its line-up. This post-pub classic is a fixture in a european based rocker life. To say I am mad is an understatement, what the hell are VH1 thinking? I think VH1 is going to get a lot of hate mail for this one.

Uthant has a wonderfully witty piece about American TV “personalities”. He is a bit harsh on Greta, ex-CNN now moved to FoxNews, but overall its great fun. He wonder why there aren’t any fat hosts, every other body type is represented, but not fat people. Fat men seem to have been related to covering sports and doing the weather.

Busheyspon is a new blog from my old mucker Rob Mallows. Be kind to the new guy, actually be really kind, he learned about blogging from the Guardian! Once he gets going, expect some witty comment about life, XTC and his beloved Fulham FC.
