Rather annoyed with the Guardian app for bunging a whacking great medal table in the middle of the home screen, with no option to remove it in the settings. I emailed them, and they just said it'll be taken down when the Olympics are over. No response about spoilering, or annoying people who don't give a toss about the Olympics.

I don't know about the readability of the sentence, my main worry (not sure if this is also the point aldo was making) is that it's surely wrong to say "revamped range of Marvel comics" since Justice League is and always has been a DC publication.

Yes, my point is that, and a bit more. It's like describing when the Graun went tabloid sized as their "revamped range of Times newspapers".

Interesting double standards in today's paper.
A long editorial about Jimmy Savile and the BBC and a Rock & Pop front page piece on Led Zeppelin on which Jimmy Page is not questioned about his predilection for 14-year-old girls.
Lost in Showbiz mentions Chris Brown and Justin Lee Collins as negatively as you would expect, while the radio reviewer protests about Andy Kershaw not being put back on Radio 3.
This is not to mention certain prominent columnists who think it dictatorial that a dickhead with a long criminal record should be jailed for wearing a T-shirt, while at the same time practically labelling Assange a rapist when he has neither been charged nor tired for the offence.
It would be useful to know whete they draw the boundaries.

Housing is an emotive subject because most people are struggling to pay rent, or a mortgage, making life-altering decisions about where to live based on how much they can afford to spend – so making the case for the state to be subsidising large chunks of rent for other people to live in London does not instantly elicit sympathy. If you're in any doubt about this, just glance below to read the comments that inevitably follow pieces on this theme.
