DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Lee Griffin
Tim Ireland finally sees a response from the Daily Mail over “reporter” Julie Moult’s false claims about a “Googlebomb” on Hazel Blears. The funny ensues.
LDV/Stephen Tall reports on Michael Portillo lending some weight to Local Income Tax…just…uh…don’t mention that it’s been a Lib Dem policy for years. Ok?
Chicken Yoghurt muses on the idea of Jeremy Kyle’s involvement at a higher political level than unemployment TV.
LDV/Mark Park wonders why Yougov attracts a different political standard of women respondents. More to the point, does this make Yougov more or less accurate?
Neil Williams joins in on the hate on EA for their free petrol give-away stunt. Given the main complaints were from residents that couldn’t even get out of their driveways, shouldn’t irresponsible driving also take some of the blame though?
CiF/Leo Hickman waits for the end of the world, nice knowing you all.
Destructoid reports about a pair of teenagers banned from owning pets and playing video games because they microwaved their cat. Now what are they meant to do to pass the time? My vote is on terrorism.

A cover job yet again! Where’s Jennie?
I’m happy to cover for her tomorrow if needed.
I am taking time off due to being tired and emotional, Sarah. As is Aaron I believe. Don’t worry, nobody’s done me in.
Nice job, Lee, but I see no cookery or showbiz 😛
Awww Jennie, hope you feel better soon! Like I said, I am happy to write tomorrow’s NetCast if you guys need me to.
I searched hard for those cookery stuff, had to settle for computer gaming. I did cook some hairy baker recipe for dinner tonight though, so maybe mentioning that counts. 😉
I am still full from lunch. Had kangaroo steak in a gastropub. It was overdone.
Been in Scotland all weekend.
Speaking of food…
We went to a Portuguese restaurant last night. And today we had an Italian in Edinburgh (pronounced, in our house, E-den-Burg, because it annoys people). I had a Calzone. Yum.
I’ve never had Portugese.
* is so deprived *
It’s very tasty.
Mostly Chicken and Cod.
I just haven’t really had the opportunity. There’s all flavours of Asian round here, and we have little Germany, and there’s Greek and Turkish and Cypriot and Italian… but not much Portugese. It’s odd, really. No French, either.

All good Jennie, all good.
Turkish is great. But then I adore Lamb.
My favourite at the moment is the Pakistani all you can eat for a tenner buffet in walking distance of my house. Mat doesn’t like spicy, though
