Mariana Hummel has some amazingly colourful pictures in her Flickr gallery, including many sky and nature photos.
I had an idea to crop this image to a thin letterbox format, and my plan worked - the perspective looks as if the image is narrower to the right, when actually it’s a plain rectangle.
George Galloway won the election seat for Bethnal Green & Bow, London, last night. Galloway famously paid several pre-war visits to Saddam Hussein and led many of the anti-war marches in London. His original constituency was Glasgow, but he moved to a largely Muslim area, which some say was a dirty tactic to win his seat.
From the BBC website
JP: We’re joined now from his count in Bethnal Green and Bow by George Galloway. Mr Galloway, are you proud of having got rid of one of the very few black women in Parliament?
GG: What a preposterous question. I know it’s very late in the night, but wouldn’t you be better starting by congratulating me for one of the most sensational election results in modern history?

I received my renewal notice today for my car insurance. It’s higher than other quotes, so I won’t be taking them up on the renewal, but reading through the small print I wasn’t surprised to see that they cover my payments in the event of sickness;
Monthly benefit equal to your monthly repayment if you are disabled for 30 days or more through injury, sickness or disease… up to �250…
However, further down the page I find the following exclusion to this cover;
…pre-existing medical conditions, AIDS or infection by HIV, self inflicted injury, taking drugs or alcohol, normal pregnancy, psychotic or mental disorders…
So my insurers cover payments of those who fall sick, but won’t cover the payments should a customer contract HIV or AIDS?
