the No Mill Road Tesco Campaign » TESCO LOSE PLANNING APPEAL:

Fantastic news and well done to everyone involved in stopping this from happening 😉

For those who don’t know, Mill Road is the place to go in Cambridge when you want the little things. It’s the home of small interesting shops, multi-nationality small supermarkets where you can buy hundreds of things that you’ve probably never seen or heard of before, plus, all the roads off it (well most) and full of Victorian terrace houses.

It’s got an village like atmosphere and, as the about page of the campaign site says ‘Mill Road is the creative and cultural heart of Cambridge’.

What twonk decided that it would be a good idea to stick a branch of Tesco right in the middle of it?? Admitidly we are a bit short on big supermarkets in Cambridge.  There are only 5 Tescos, 2 Sainsburys and an Aldi … how could we possibly cope without another one???

UMID’s “super mini laptop” is small, shiny, super – Engadget

UMID’s “super mini laptop” is small, shiny, super – Engadget: I’ve been thinking that one of the Asus or Eeeeeeeeeee netbooks would be perfect for me. They wouild fit in my rucksack (that’s normally stuffed with cycling gear), they’re pretty hardy (especially with SSD) and have enough grunt to be able to take notes, basic browsing etc … basically where my iPhone is great for out and about quickies, I’d like something for out and about slightly more prolonged sessions … and this Super mini laptop (sub-netbook?) looks even more perfect.  Wonder how much it’ll cost?

Weller smoke puts theatre in jam: Is the theatre getting a warning because he smoked inside their building or because they didn’t do anything about it when he did?? Seems kinda arse backwards to me …

Is Palin the Republican future?: lol, she’s their future?? I presume this is the beginnings of a really long term strategy by the Republicans to give away the next election, and possibly the one after that???

XKCD is great, but this shared item is more to test the new WordPress plugin I’ve installed 😉

The only blood these contracts are signed in is from me cutting my hand trying to open the goddamn CD case.
