pants!

Obviously the women of Sudan wear the trousers - both literally and metaphorically. I don't know what definition of indecent appears in the sudanese dictionary but I wouldn't have expected to see a picture of a pair of trousers!

Apparently, it isn't a part of Sharia law and I can believe that, so what do the men fear about the gentle sex, I wonder. Trousers today, tomorrow the world. And why not?

five minutes

This chap, Matthew, from the BBC has this programme - more of an art project, really - in which a celebrity guest is interviewed for just five minutes. For some of his guests, five minutes is more than enough. Some might say this of Tony Benn, I'm sure, but I always like hearing what he has to say. Compare it, if you will, to Michael Portillo previously (who I knew in a different life.)
