I am so proud to have been admitted into the [Blue Fish Network], a UK-based, internationally-welcoming network of niche web sites and blogs outside the mainstream media.

Treasury apologises over e-mail
The Treasury has said it “deeply regrets” any offence caused by an e-mail mistakenly sent to journalists.The e-mail, sent by junior clerical officer Robbie Browse, was entitled “Advantage of being Chinese”, under a heading of “this is brilliant!”.
It encouraged recipients to “try pulling the corners of your eyes as if you were Chinese” to decipher a message which read “no sex causes bad eyes”.
