    Iranian democracy

    Much talk of possible vote-rigging, even suggestions from Moussavi camp that people should avoid casting their ballots in mosques, which sounds almost suicidally brave on his part. Ahmadinejad may lose (good!), but western media badly underestimated his appeal last time... Moussavi has...

    The madness of Mel

    In keeping with the spirit of the Express/Mail threads, here's one for Ms Philips. I know the madness of Mel isn't news, but the election of Obama has tipped her so far over the edge that it's worth collecting the worst examples, because there are quite a lot of people who still take her...

    Spaz - personality test

    This has been going round facebook, but is dumb enough to merit a wider audience. All you need is a MP3 player with a shuffle. I'm gonna do mine again, just in case any of my FB 'friends' here are and I don't want them to know me. INSTRUCTIONS 2. Put your iPod or other music player on shuffle...
