  1. East Anglian Film Archive: Basildon - Our Town, 1974

    Short documentary about the Essex Town. Lots of council-provided facilities. Things that now look a bit small, grey and grim. A lot of standardised typefaces. Great stuff. (via @mala)

    @blech *rolls eyes* But actually I’m surprised that it looks like there’s <1% difference in open rates. I wonder what % of people use tabs?

    @iamdanw I can’t wait until the 2014 Samsung Anniversary Games, on the anniversary of the fondly-remembered Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games.

    @tomstuart @nickludlam Saying “Well I’ll get insurance if I actually do work for you, because no one else demands it” wasn’t adequate.

    @tomstuart @nickludlam Oddest thing I had was that you had to have insurance to even be listed on the BBC’s approved suppliers list.

    @jaggeree @wonderlandblog Why don’t ISPs have different policies? Why does govt tell all to be the same? I thought Cons liked free market?

    @blogjam The fact I’ve never once needed a tea candle can only be evidence that, apparently, I’m doing life all wrong. #life #wrong #candles

    @blogjam I have never been to an IKEA. I’m saving it for a special occasion. I hope it lives up to expectations, which you have heightened!

    Belatedly got round to re-joining the Open Rights Group. Took five minutes. openrightsgroup.org/join/ Seems like a good time.

    @mala That’s so good. It’s all so municipal, for good and bad. Arts Centre at 2:22. Also I can’t help watching through the lens of Scarfolk.

    @holgate I can believe that, but also want to see the study. Sounds a bit like one of those simple quotes that should have many caveats.

    Dear Lord, it's hot in Englandshire - even the pretend sheep is wilting
