“Come on, get your shoes on” “Why?” “Because we’re going out” “Why?” “We need to go to the shops” “Why?” “To buy food for you to eat” “Why?” “Well, because if you don’t eat, you’ll die” “Why?” “Just get your shoes on, OK?” “Why?”…. Anyone who’s been a three-year-old (except perhaps those whose parents and…
Ahhhhhhhh I’ve emerged from hibernation! And the first thing I did (after showering off the dead skin and brushing my teeth 65 times) was toddle off to the Texas Embassy for the third London Girl Geek Dinner organised by top hot totty Sarah Blow. As usual, I slurped my supper down in record time and…
OK, so how come there are any fat french people at all? Today for the second day, no part of lunch is bigger than my thumb (except those skewered fishy things which are longer than my thumb, but a lot thinner. And what’s with wine at lunch? Does the french bloggers’ union insist on it…

Finding it hard to concentrate – I have a stiff neck and a headache (bloody french food) and I’m struggling to keep up with the backchannel, the panel speakers and my own brain – now Loic just put up the pictures of Adriana shooting in Pennsylvania so I’m giving up on even trying to pay…
Settled into my seat at Les Blogs II, wifi working – the unofficial irc just became the official backchannel and made it up on the screen. Sadly, I can’t bluetooth my phone to my pc to post pictures immediately. I’ve Rachel to the left of me and Nicole on the other side of Rachel. Right…

Check out the Online Information blog for some more vox pop video clips. If…
