Today is a day to celebrate. We have a third-term Labour government, something which has never been achieved before in the entire history of the party.

As Nic will know (because I’ve moaned about it to him many times) my biggest gripe with Nucleus is the lack of a separate field for URLs \ Email in the comment field. Well, I’ve finally fixed it with the help of these guys which means that someone like Alex will be able to advertise their site with their comment as well as have a groovy gravatar to accompany it.
As you’d expect – your website is displayed – your email address isn’t. This caused a bit of grief this afternoon as I manually edited the MySQL tables to hide people’s email addresses they’d entered after I promised to keep them private. See how much I care about you and your spam-free inboxes, readers?
I love it when Nic redesigns his site – it always motivates me to do things like this! 
The Daleks are back! Like, on TV! Finally, people will stop asking me about my nickname!

Staying on the TV theme, the BBC are current broadcasting BBC 1, 2, 4 and News 24 live over the internet. Please note that these tests are likely to end soon, so for the moment:
Two great days in a row… how lovely.
[Update – as predicted, links now dead]Just noticed BT have (finally) upgraded us to delicious 2Mb broadband from 512k. Nice one!
(Wow – after all today’s goodness I bet tomorrow will be shit, just to balance it out perhaps?)
Wow, that was so fun! Just got back from seeing The Kumars at Number 42 being filmed at Television Centre. Cast was excellent (watching Meera Syal fluff a joke by laughing too much is so cool) and the impromptu gags off screen were wonderful. Frankie Dettori and Joanna Lumley made great guests, Frankie in particular was very entertaining – when the cameras were off he seemed to relax even more and continued to chat for the audience.
And that’s not forgetting the warm-up act… I still can’t believe these things are free. Forget the cinema or theatre, just book some tickets for a TV show and turn up for a great night out. (And yes, it is smaller in real life, of course. Had to get the cliché in somewhere.)
Shout out to my wonderful cousin who turned up with many, many shopping bags and was surprised to discover a cloakroom service was not provided.
