The most recent search terms that led various folk to 'SHANE' (last time I'll do this, barring serious oddment):-

dhilia (USA) / leak soup ("hooray!") (USA) / shahida mini (Pak.) / greer elspeth (Neth.) / big tites ("hooray!") (USA, Iran, Egy.) / picture hard core woman wexford sex (Ire.) / jo harrison (many variations) (UK, Bel., Can., Ita.) / marie british big tits -kerry (UK) / shane tits (USA) / caroline wyatt transsexual (UK) / bg-mama (Den.) / humanyms (Can.) / politicians' three-part lists (UK) / uttoxeter porn (UK) / organ sales thesis (USA) / cunnulingus (Ger.)

All genuine. Suggestive of a political gap in the porn market? Anyone for a topless Tony Blair?

On Tuesday, after his bath, Emma's son Alex asked "What's this called?" whilst pointing at his scrotal sack. He was advised to "Go and ask Shane", so he did. I gave him a factually accurate response, explaining what the future contents of the sack would be. We then made up a song called ''Testicles Bespectacles". His mum was amused.

And so it passed, the UK re-elected the Labour Party to form its government. A few words on that... "no surprises there".

A few more...

Labour - will be interesting to follow in-house pressure on Blair(*)
Tories - evidence of their ill-defined politics of fear being listened to *shudder*
Lib Dems - haven't done enough to secure domestic image of '3-party democracy'
UKIP/Veritas - always welcome for splitting the far right vote
Green - anonymous... though their candidates donned handsome sweaters
BNP - another far-right splitter, averaged 5% of the vote in seats contested

(*) Gene suggests Gordy Brown to be installed by August. I'd be surprised if it were so soon. Tory leadership interesting - Howard stepping down: David Davis or Oliver Letwin to guide serious Tory revival. Likely overshadowing of the far-too-steady Lib Dem progress - not to mention Venus crossing Uranus - suggests it's time to turn to Matthew Taylor or Simon Hughes.

It's my soap opera and it's only on once every four or so years.

So a "young fogey" instals Haloscan and it eats all of his old comments. "Bollocks!" he cries out. But then he finds out that if you uninstal Haloscan - a mere 87 hours of techy irritation no doubt - then the old comments are returned. Politics of ransom.
