Oh Lord. I've been contemplating all week whether/what to write about Richard Dawkins and the Root of All Evil, and not quite got around to articulating any of it. And now,perusing the papers before bed, I've come across the article about the arabic

just a quick entry to see what w.bloggar is like. I still can't get blogjet to work with blog-city, which is a shame. w.bloggar is the offline client recommended by blog-city, so I've downloaded it to have a look. It is free, and it does look pretty

Well, excitement of excitements, the start of the new series of Big Brother. Celebrity Big Brother no less! I'm sitting here with each new 'contestant' being fed to me in a chat window as they're introduced. So far I've heard of three of them Faria A
