Yay! The Two Towers arrived today - there goes a large chunk of my evening. Also, new flat-panel display that I got on special offer to replace my aging monitor which has been showing all sorts of peculiarities over the last month and has developed some really bad ghosting.

On, then, to politics: an excellent post/discussion on malachan's journal coming out of the gay marriage debate. And then, a couple of issues arising from this BBC news article. Firstly, the government's desperation in dragging a minister home from Australia to take part in a vote (and then flying out a replacement) - I do hope they're not using public money to help them win the vote. Secondly, a comment from an MP who was previously opposing the government on the issue - one of the reasons he changed his mind was because "I refuse to help Michael Howard get off to a winning start just 18 months before a general election". I'm glad to see that principles go out of the window when one's job is on the line...
