Right ... I almost forgot... This is your Bishop Information Minister Speaking: Oi! It's Santa Claus today, innit? Now go to Church! Quick, quick!!!! Or else...! Sorry about that. 10:30:13 PM     |

Because I'm in the mood. Here's Dot Dash by Wire as an MP3. Not. 8:59:51 PM     |

Raumpatrouille. Watch out, there's a Frog in the tunnel. 6:37:03 PM     |

A Repeat [02.09.2003]. Because they're just too great. The Shadoks. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Fantastic. The Shadoks are a kind of outerspace creatures designed and created by Jacques Rouxel in 1966, in the spirit of newspapers' comic-strips like "Peanuts". They first appeared on TV in 1968 and quickly became heroes ; their main mission was educative : criticism of the french society with absurd humour. Theyre here, here and here 6:18:55 PM     |

Brussels Blogger Meet, Part 2. Just received the following email from Zoe: I suppose that if you cut off my head the pics would be fine. So here's a picture of Zoe with her head cut off. Enjoy. 5:50:13 PM     |

German Efficiency. Anybody in the need of a German Copywriter? Have I got some news for you: Here's Jürgen Schöneich, one of the best. Beware: his website is all in ridiculous German! 3:29:01 PM     |

Lirum Larum Maleficum. Who's afraid of the Spanish Inquisition? Cornell's Witchcraft Collection contains over 3,000 titles documenting the history of the Inquisition and the persecution of witchcraft. Via Kebo11, via lotbuch, via Netbib. 1:10:14 PM     |

Sex, Drugs and Exploitation. Interesting collection of articles and interviews at imagesjournal. 9:42:00 AM     |

British Posters. This is actually inspired by an entry over at thingsmagazine regarding the designer Abram Games. Anyway, have a look at Rennies - a big website specialised in British poster art. Fantastic. 9:27:54 AM     |

What an honour! Yes, I did indeed meet the legendary Quickos. He's a really nice guy and had a whole Carbonade Flamande just for himself. Even more Carbonades were enjoyed by Horst, Zoe, Quarsan and Rocky. And Belgian beer. Yes, it was fun. 9:15:39 AM     |

Looks like I'm back in London. I can't be sure though, because the weather is exactly the same as in Brussels. At least people here are talking in a language I can make sense of. Lots of strange links and the true story about the Brussels Blogger meeting later. Or tomorrow. Oh, and guess what: The Eurostar was on time! Unbelievable. 8:36:36 PM     |
