Being too young to remember the original I would like to thank Tony and David for getting me in to the new version.
As it’s on Sky One I didn’t have much chance to watch it. However on New Years Eve whilst at Sally’s and Tony’s I watched the feature length pilot/movie. Then a couple of weeks ago whilst staying in Newbury in a hotel, I watch one of Season 2 with David.
I’ve now gone and got the DVD of season one, and I’m getting through the episodes pretty quickly. As somebody who been watching a lot of American shows at the moment (24, West Wing, Smallville, Surface, Invasion, Lost, Firefly) this is definitely one of the better ones.

7 THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE
1. Finish this off…
LibDem Blog Problems
Looks like a rogue blog is crashing the build script. Until I get home to run some tests, you might find the site not updating itself as often as it should.
Update I’ve made some tweaks to the cron jobs and everything seems to be working fine.
Lib Dems Get Shirty
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.
Politics Test
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:
|
Thought I might have ended up a bit higher than that on the economic scale though.
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.
Boo to NBC
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.
Alt attributes on LibDem Blogs
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=”https://blog.artesea.co.uk/images/ming.png/” mce_src=”https://blog.artesea.co.uk/images/ming.png/” alt=”Ming T-Shirt” /> with {Ming T-Shirt}
News Of the World
For those of you who want to read the story but not buy the newspaper.
Edit: link no longer points to that story.
