As if we needed more proof...

... that George Galloway is a publicity-seeking arsehole:

He's gone on Celebrity Big Brother.

Tut tut, foolish voters of Bethnal Green and Bow. You tossed out a perfectly good MP for this.

"With each migration, evolutionary forces morphed the pantherlike patriarch of all cats into a rainbow of species, from ocelots and lynxes to leopards, lions and the lineage that led to the most successful cat of all, even though it has mostly forsaken its predatory heritage: the cat that has induced people to pay for its board and lodging in return for frugal displays of affection."

Museum exhibitions

I really hate these pre-booked exhibition tickets... if you forget to book, you're screwed. It's impossible to be impulsive on the weekends for popular exhibits.

And so many pre-booked tickets have been sold for the Persia exhibit that they say it's very unlikely any on-day tickets will be available. :/

I'm also annoyed that I didn't say something to Neil yesterday, as according to skorpionuk there were some Sunday tickets left then. :(

Film

I went to see Brokeback Mountain this afternoon. It was absolutely superb. I would never have imagined Heath Ledger as a cowboy--but he did it perfectly.

The film was also a 2 hour long tourist promotion for the American West. (Although they filmed it in Alberta. Tsk.)

Anyhoo, go see it, unless you're strictly an action fan, in which case you'll snooze.
