ewtI was thinking the other day that it would be neat to read various London papers for a week at a time and then criticise them, in depth. This would work for magazines as well. For example, if I read The Economist I tend to end up shouting at it. I certainly shout at the Metro, but that's to be expected. I also shout at The Ecologist, the New Statesman, and nearly everything else I read, for being biased one way or another and not presenting information well. I shout at the New Scientist for not being complete enough, but probably in that case the problem is that I ought to be reading scientific journals or summat to get the level of information I would like to have. I'm not thinking of ranting about every article in every periodical for evar, I'm thinking of short snapshots.
Maybe someone else already does this in a blog and I don't know about it. I genuinely do not have the time and will not have the time for several years to come.
The second idea I might get around to. Those big catering-sized metal drums of vegetable oil are a great size for huge plant pots, and there are lots of them around on garbage night in any restaurant district (I see them in Greenwich fairly regularly, and Bethnal Green, and so on). They look a bit grotty if you only have one of them as a plant pot but having several that are all the same size and approximate same design would work quite well, I think. So, at some point, I will get one and see if I can get the end off to make a plant pot. If that works, I shall go on a raid and get LOTS of them. I'll be planting some perennials I want to take with me when I leave, see.
Okay, I'm off to find a squirrel-sized shovel.
