400 Quidditch?

To commemorate the release of the new Harry Potter film my eight year-old daughter has produced another of her fantastic pieces of art, which I reckon I should probably make available in limited edition signed prints.

I'm really thinking she could make us very rich if she could churn out 9 or 10 of these babies a day...

Things I Have Learned This Week

REBEKAH BROOKS

1. It has been a momentous week in the British Media, with the phone-hacking scandal bringing about the closure of the 168 year-old News of the World. Amazingly, while hundreds of journalists who weren't even working on the paper during the period of the allegations may be made unemployed, this woman, who was the paper's editor at the time and now News International's Chief Executive, has so far kept her job. All in all, it's yet another example of a public figure giving us gingers a bad name (see also Raoul Moat, Chucky, Anne Robinson). I feel I should redress the balance with this.

2. The replacement paper for the News of the World on Sundays has been announced. Think it might be a winner with the NOTW devotees... 

3. As the final Harry Potter film premieres, the lead actors console themselves with the knowledge they can now devote more time to their Smallbone Kitchens franchise:

4. Lots of people getting emotional about the last space shuttle mission. Can't understand the fuss myself: 135 launches and never actually been anywhere? I know parking can be difficult when you have a large vehicle, but that's just ridiculous. And now the news that Mission Control are playing Coldplay to the crew to wake them up. Clearly the NASA boffins know f*ck all about music.

5. Ladies and Gentlemen, take your partners for the Shameless Dictator Hoedown:
