The following letter of complaint to Ofcom was written by our friend Josie Wexler and is published here with her kind permission. It raises a plethora of objections to Channel 4's 8th March 2007 screening of The Great Global Warming Swindle by documentary-maker Martin Durkin.

I found it depressing watching. I hope Ofcom takes action against Channel 4 over this, for the reasons Josie articulates so well. However, I suspect the screening has already done its damage: it is now being cited triumphantly on the blogs of those in climate-change denial.

One day there'll be a page here just for recipes, but until then I'll just drop them randomly into my blog.

I'd never made chocolate brownies before today, they just seemed too extravagant - I mean, a whole block of real chocolate, just for cooking with? Then a certain supermarket employed a Jedi Knight for a day (probably hired from one of those charity shops I mysteriously have to go into) and made me buy a big slab of "quality" cooking chocolate because it was broken and thus reduced. Sigh.

Here's a Life Lesson I should have learned years ago, which I will share with the unwary: When choosing a quick lunch to be eaten in a public space, don't go into a Yorkshire sandwich shop. No, go to Boots or something. Get a couple of damp, compact triangles with some obedient sliced chicken stuffed into the front. Something that's not going to embarrass you. Do not struggle with your food; eat discreetly.

So, we hear in The Guardian that "Government plans for changes in the law to boost rape conviction rates are in disarray after the judges who would have to put them into practice told ministers they oppose them.

Overall, the judges believe that the proposed measures are too complex and are urging ministers to have more faith in the common sense of jurors. "The law shouldn't be complicated. It should be something that everybody understands," one circuit judge said."

How to Be A Domestic Goddess. What a wonderful goal. We now have books that tell us how to do everything, by ourselves; how marvellous! Yes, actually, I can bake bread, clean my house, play with my children, clean their shoes, make my own letter paper, pay the bills (on time) *and* get dinner on the table. Can't you?

It's been a while since I've danced. But yesterday's Guardian interview with Tim van Eyken reminds me of what I've been neglecting.

Who said that? I did; weren't you listening? Now, I may have been ill for nearly a month (poorly, not hospitalised), but it didn't kill me. No no, I have learned from it. It has made me stronger. I have learned the ancient art of What To Drink.

I do try really hard not to get "religious" about Free Software. Afterall, everybody has their own motivations and requirements with computing, and I'd no more insist you use a particular set of software than I would tell you what clothes to wear. However, where computer software is used in education, I am more concerned.

Well, it happens most days actually. I sometimes have seal children, or tiger children; once I had two small pilot whales running around the kitchen. But today it was penguins. Not sure what kind - Emperor I think, given the noise. They pitter pattered in the kitchen, swaying and honking as they struggled through an Antartic blizzard. It was too much for the littler one to cope with, and he had to stop for a rest on his daddy's feet. But they made it to the bedroom eventually.
