After Popbitch and the Wales on Sunday, it’s now the turn of the local paper Lincolnshire Echo to do a feature on my t-shirts.
As everyone else is doing this, here’s my result:
| You are a Social Liberal (71% permissive) and an… Economic Liberal (38% permissive) You are best described as a:

Liberal Democrat T-Shirt Shop in the News

My T-Shirt shop has been in the news over the last few weeks.
First there was LibDem News in the People section.
Then the Guardian Backbencher (twice).
The Wales on Sunday were giving them away as a prize on the politics page a few weekends ago.
And yesterday I was in Popbitch, leading to over 6000 hits!
I’m also republishing the graph below, as it’s now fallen off the main page.
…but only after the World Cup.
NBC have cancelled the West Wing after viewing figures dropped. May have something to do with them changing it from a Wednesday night show to a Sunday night one.
I would have liked at least one season of the new President, but not too sure if it could have lasted much longer than that.

Just an update to the LibDem Blog code.
I’ve added this line of code
$text = preg_replace(‘/<img.*?alt=(“|\’)(.*?)\1.*?>/i’, ‘ {$2} ‘, $text);
Which replaces <img xsrc=”http://blog.artesea.co.uk/images/ming.png/” mce_src=”http://blog.artesea.co.uk/images/ming.png/” alt=”Ming T-Shirt” /> with {Ming T-Shirt}
For those of you who want to read the story but not buy the newspaper.
Edit: link no longer points to that story.
With several people now successfully using my Amazon Sidebar links (those I am reading/watching/listening… on the righthand side), I’m going to offer them to the wider public.
Click the link, follow the instructions.
Being crap at explaining anything, please leave feedback in the comments.
Tip: if you want to give referral sales to me use artesea-21 as your tag, theliberaldemocr for the LibDems or ldys-21 for LDYS.
Staying at the Hilton Newbury North for the week, David and I went for dinner last night in jeans and t-shirt.
We went to give our room numbers but we were just waived in.
When we sat down we suddenly realized. There must have been at least 20 chav’s all staying the night. Somebody must have been paying their bill, but the hotel staff must have believed that we were with them too!
Whilst the dinner ended up being free, I was going to claim it on expenses anyway.
Some how I feel dirty.
If you are reading the permalink version of this page, you will have noticed something new at the bottom.
Using the Blog Search XML files, built with the url of the title link, I can see who else has been blogging the same story as me.
With some fancy code I can place this information at the bottom of each post.
This one is a bit of a cheat, as I’ve linked to the Brown speech promotes Britishness off the BBC website just to demonstrate, but if you go back through the archives you’ll see other examples.
