Had to read the story about police seizing posters of a penis with a yellow bow on it which had been put up all over a Sussex town: this quote from a police spokesman has to be the best of the year so far! "However, from what we've seen, if this is a self-portrait, the artist won't be in a hurry to be identified." I'm still giggling.

I thought that the SEO-optimisation push would be the death of the all-noun headline with all these newfangled of's and in's cluttering up the place. But today marks a triumphant return to form with "Cameroon farmers doubt elephant chilli ball idea". Seven nouns in a row! (Yes I realise "doubt" is being used as a verb; don't spoil my fun.)

Well, that's comforting. I thought that my difficulty in reading certain things was more a question of failing eyesight due to age. I now stand corrected: it's the font!

Re typefaces. I'm glad the Magazine page hasn't changed. It's a little bit of Verdana familiarity in a strange new Arial world.
