Newness and spangliness.

In a hurry, so here are some things other people write:

bogol: a regular at Harry Hutton's house of whimsy - from whom I've nabbed the link - HA HA HA has bowed to popular demand and started a blog. It is quite splendid and you will laugh. Or stare in bewilderment.

Ajeeb: "the stranger side of life...", apparently.

At Any Street Corner who is charitably forgiven the Camus quote. No, it's good. Really.

Semitism, "pro-Jewish, pro-Arab, pro-peace". Can't say fairer than that.

Via Scarecrow, I found Hackney Lookout, which could be used as a handy guide to London's most-unjustly maligned borough. ("Could be," notice.)

Not sure if I've mentioned it already, but Bartlett's Bizarre Bazaar should repay a visit.

Adding a few links can take up an improbable amount of time. Grrr.
