I haven’t done one of these in a while because I’ve basically run out of ideas. Nightmouse used to do a really very good news round-up, methodically eyeballing tonnes of sites for pieces that might not warrant a post on their own but were interesting. I could try to do that kind of thing if people want me to, although I don’t think I’d be very good at it. But I do like the idea of an open thread.
There are only so many recipes and weird eagles. Nor am I a wiz with pictures. I’m very, very open to suggestions and such. Okay:
Possibly we’re accused of being a bit negative about Pakistan at times, but look at this cool thing!

This made my blood boil, as it might yours. The tweeter answered my where/when inquiry “Sutton in Surrey – a state school. I believe this was recently”. They go after children, and what’s more dishonorable than that?

Have at the comments, and leave off being unreasonably happy for another day or so, because of the calendar, but as soon as it’s allowed definitely have a Very Happy New Year!
