Dr Who Boing Boing interview and a little slip

OK so the Master leaked out - but Bernard Cribbins (as Wilf Mott) is there when the Doctor regenerates? ( Cut for those who haven't seen end of series 4 )

Anyone want any Dreamwidth invite codes?

A Letter to the Met

Via boing boing...I love how this presents the camps in a different light and humorously (basically if you want our camps to go peacefully and without trouble then stay away! Yes police - especially the Metropolitan Police - do start riots regularly, for political and tactical reasons - as well as sheer bloody-minded alpha male nonsense). What are the police scared of? And why do they want to beat the crap out of mostly peaceful protesters? Could it maybe that their way of life is threatened by these green anti-capitalists being all nice and community minded in ways that don't need the police? Really I don't believe this 'kinder and more sensitive' police will work - they still reserve the right to 'kettle' despite it causing at least one death and a miscarriage and many injuries - some of the non-protesting public - and I've read recently that for this climate camp they are putting women officers in charge and setting up Twitter accounts (I kid you not) - it's probably a good step, but I doubt 100s of years of antagonism and male violent culture will go away overnight. Or at all.

I have some Bristol shots and a blog post to come, not sure if I'll get them all done before I go off to Johns - but for now I'll post this:

Probably my best landscape shot so far - everything went wrong - the battery ran out, the card ran out, I had one shot left before I had to go back, it's amazing it's here at all, I was scrabbling for my spare battery and my last emergency card (16Mb!) and managed to catch this. As shot apart from slight sharpening, horizon levelling and curves.
