If you need reasons to save the baths go and have a look at the Victoria Baths photo album I’m posting right now.
More pics.
The novelty might wear off, one day.
Can you tell your programming language creators from your serial killers? I got 8 out of 10.
Thanks to Penny for this one.
This article on illegal cockling is packed full of innuendo potential, but it’s also an enlightening look at the Black economy.
I’d forgotten I was working in Cheshire, with England’s highest concentration of millionaires, until I looked in the (very large and full of shiny things) window of one of the shops on the market square and went bibble at the price of a Rolex. More astounding were the Vertu mobile phones, which start at �3,750! For that sort of money I’d expect a James Bond laser and fully interactive holographic display, at least.

So, a typical Republican campaign then.
Whilst I’m on the subject of pimping and profiteering- I’ve had a rush of blood with regards to putting stuff on EBay. A whole load of comics, including whole runs of mini series, all starting at really low prices.
Ben Hammersley, in the Guardian, investigates ways to make the web pay, reckoning it’s reached the stage where the most popular bloggers could make a living out of it.
The plan has never been to make a living solely from Spinneyhead, but it does exist as a sort of force multiplier- a way to add value to traditionally distributed products and create and maintain interest in them (I know they’re a long time coming, but I am basically lazy after all). Now that I’m using CafePress again expect to see a few more T-Shirts and I’m mulling over ideas for their new publishing service. And this morning I was contemplating providing some of the best Spinneyhead photos as wallpaper for PCs or mobiles, perhaps I could charge 10p a go for them using the Bitpass product mentioned in the article.
