No time to ‘Blog properly today. [Insert your own joke about the current quality of PooterGeek here.] So I’ll just make one observation about the Guardian, because it’s a quick and easy way of filling space. There’s a piece (in G2?) today about how the Women’s Institute is shedding its mumsy, Home Counties, jam-making image to become a young and funky campaigning organisation. One of the photographs illustrating it is of a WI/Greenpeace demo in a park in the shadow of the London Eye, with a bunch of white-clad eco-warriors forming a spiral pattern and, beneath it, spelling out what is supposed to be the slogan “STOP CLIMATE CHAOS”. I only know this because of the accompanying text. When I read it at first, I honestly thought it said “STOP CLIMATE CHAVS”.

Wouldn’t they be better off contacting Prof. Lorenz directly?
