- Now that I've cheesed off all of our British readers with my post about the Independent poll (sheesh! who knew Brits were so touchy?), let me draw your attention to this absolutely brilliant analysis of what's at stake in the US election by eminent British historian Paul Johnson, who writes, ... |

- Dad's here. I picked him up from amid the delayed crowds at Liverpool Street and we squeezed ourselves onto a packed train. With hot and bothered commuters squeezed into every crevice, we crept through the suburbs as though afraid to wake the driver.

Im Gegensatz zum Ausland wird die Qualität von Forschung an deutschen Universitäten aber bislang noch nicht flächendeckend und systematisch bewertet. Noch diskutiert man über Vor- und Nachteile der verschiedenen gängigen Verfahren. |

- ...made during British Summer Time of 2004 that is.A beautiful autumnal day, at times today. I went into Oxford this afternoon after a leisurely morning pottering round the house. The trip to Oxford was one of those in and out, but necessary trips: a new sketchpad for Wednesday's life drawing class, and some diary refills for me, me mum, and me dad. |

- An impressive second half display saw us sweep aside West Brom with the minimal amount of fuss. Our first half performance was probably the worst of the year. After the break we were different class. Jose Mourinho must have uttered the right words in the dressing room at half-time. His substitutions— |
