Annoyingly, I can't make this (for reasons of a tedious being-an-adult nature), but if you're in London and like photography...

If you are a user of the London Underground, but find it difficult to stand for reasons that are not outwardly visible, then TfL are trialling a "please offer me a seat" badge scheme.

Yesterday I had a Mesh album on in the car on the way to work. While in a traffic jam, I idly checked Mesh's website on my phone to see if they had any upcoming gigs. And they have! This Saturday! At The Garage!

If anyone else is excited about this, see you there.

(Disclaimer: it was a handbrake-on, car-in-neutral, not-going-anywhere-anytime-soon kind of traffic jam.)

Public service announcement: if you have a photocard driving licence, check the expiry date on it. It's "4b" on the front ("4a" is date of issue).

A colleague of mine recently tried to hire a car, and was surprised to find his photocard had expired 5 years ago. I checked mine, and despite it having only been issued in January of this year, it runs out in March 2012. We think this is because I didn't supply a new photo when I changed my address with the DVLA, and a photo is only good for ten years. March 2002 sounds a probable date for my first photocard application.

We're not sure whether or not the DVLA will write and tell you when it expires. Presumably they do... so long as they have the correct address for you :)

My mobile has developed the annoying habit of turning itself off when I'm not looking. If you think I'm ignoring you, I'm not, I'm just unaware that my phone is off.

If I actually am ignoring you, I'll tell you.

You can't call yourself a bellwether if, several days after the result is announced, you've still not decided which way you're going. Fact.

A few months back, I bought a Mooncup. For those of you who aren't well-up on such things, it's a reusable alternative to tampons and the like, with mysterious overtones of feminism and hippie nonsense.

The couple of people I've mentioned this to have been extremely curious about the whole business, so I thought by way of a public service announcement I'd put my thoughts on it here. I was considering locking this to just girls on my friends-list, but (a) I can't be arsed, (b) I'm not actually clear on the gender of some people and (c) if boys want to read it I don't see why they can't.

I've tried to be as un-icky as possible, but a certain amount of graphic detail is required to explain things.

If you don't want to read about it, don't click here )

Edit: for the curious, but who don't wish to read the details: I think it's great, but it's not for the squeamish.
