That is really strange. Do you think he was actually intending to kill himself?

Have you seen those maps at shopping malls, I bet he thought he was getting to the Pret on the 2nd floor.

Here's one for you to reflect on Ode Pals.

Yes, that is me!

Graffiti is just amateur artists inflicting their lack of talent on the public; mind you, it mostly occurs where architects and planners have inflicted their lack of talent on the public, which is arguably the greater crime.

I admire the sentiment, but it does look bloody awful, and not like it was commissioned artwork.

A leading Tory think-tank, The Bow Group, has said the flotation of Royal Mail was 'catastrophically under-valued' and is calling for an independent inquiry into the deal.

Ben Harris-Quinney, its chairman, said: 'You can sell £10 notes for £5 all day long and call it a success. But this is robbing the over-taxed Brit in a short-sighted fire sale of a valuable national asset.'

I hope Lord Sir Alan sues them for nicking his quote.

Tell me about it- seems to be about 1853 here. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/dec/12/act-gay-marriage-law-is-ruled-invalid-by-high-court

Seriously what do they think would happen if they said the marriages were valid?
The sky will not fall in/society will not be ripped apart on the basis that some more people are allowed to get married and be happy. I'm sure that France, Denmark, Canada, Uruguay etc are still fine and dandy.
