The Suez Canal is blocked.

It's making me nervous about my van hire plan tomorrow.

It still seems to be blocked.

It's a shame they didn't build it a little wider, or at least with some off ramps.

It's still blocked.

Great news. One of the most unpleasant women to ever disgrace the land of show-business is off air.

They've finally got it moved.

They've actually, properly, in reality got it shifted now.

I see Prince Philip has died.

They interrupted a paramedics-type programme on BBC One to bring the news.

Oh well. Boris Johnson looked a bit harrassed on top of the usual shambles - it must be annoying to have to take to a street podium when you're busy authorizing the release of all sorts of detail you've been sitting on until now.  

We can barely hear ourselves think here - the whirring of computer systems starting up and filing cabinets being raided is almost audible from the next postcode along. The hour has come to have your mistakes and worse get properly lost.

Seize the day/week - get all those flags we've spaffed cash on back down the poles. Look sad, offer platitudes, get away with everything.

I turned that on specially to see how long the BBC would take to catch up with Twitter.

Weirdly the BBC news website was 5 minutes behind the broadcast in reporting the news.

The Cerne Abbas giant may have been created in Saxon times and may represent the god Helith:
