Phyllis is a big fan of Barbra Streisand, so when it was announced that she was going on a European tour this summer, she of course decided that we should go. The only question was when to go. The options seemed to be Vienna, London, Dublin, Paris and Nice, so she tried London and Paris, but both got sold out...

The West Lothian question – that is, the problem that lots of areas are devolved to the Scottish Parliament, but the Scottish MPs can still vote on these issues when they concern England – seems to have found two bad solutions:The Tories seem to prefer excluding Scottish MPs for voting on issues affecting only England.

Phyllis noticed last night around 3am that Léon wasn’t breathing properly. Given that he was already on antibiotics (for two ear infections and a throat infection), it couldn’t very well be a chest infection, so she decided to take him to Yorkhill straight away.
They soon decided that he’s probably got asthma, so they gave him a steroid inhaler, and when that seemed to improve his condition, they discharged him later in the day.
I just hope he’ll get better now that he has an inhaler – he’s been ill far too often over the past half year!

I love Star Trek (esp. The Next Generation), but one of its shortcomings is its stance on alien languages. The Original Series and TNG tend to handwave the problem away completely by means of the universal translator. I'm currently working my way through Enterprise, which at least acknowledges the problem to a certain extent, insomuch as they have an exolinguist...

I found this Faroese sign on Flickr.What is it supposed to mean? No racially mixed couples? Don't walk close together? No heterosexual couples? None of these make any sense, do they?The photographer doesn't seem to have a clue, either.
