The BBC's 'diversity tsar', Mary Fitzpatrick, has said she believes that newsreaders should be allowed to wear whatever they like on air, and "that includes veils". Is that fair enough? Yes of course it is, but still, I must admit I think I would find it quite strange, at least to start with, having a pair of eyes giving me the day's headlines. I guess it wouldn't be too long before I thought nothing of it, but for now it seems a rather bizarre notion. Having said that, I definitely think Jeremy Paxman should wear one... This all comes after an impartiality summit, at which the BBC decided that they were in fact an organisation of left-leaning, liberal, homosexual minorities. Their words, not mine. Meanwhile, here's an interesting solution to the veil debate: Veils with people's faces on them!
Surely I'm too young to be a back pain sufferer? But that's what I have today. My lower back is complaining bitterly about having to support the rest of my torso, and this is making it a little uncomfortable to sit. Or stand. Or lie down. Movement, generally, is a bit unpleasant. I really hope it was just sleeping awqwardly on it that was the problem, and everything will be fine by tomorrow.
Last night's meal at Pica Pica was great! The food was delicious, and Despina got chatted up at the bar by an extremely drunk old man (Opening line: "You're gorgeous!" Next line: "Would you like to borrow my boat?")
Another day, another random timewasting game. It may not quite be christmas yet, but get ready to stamp out those sprouts.
