Queer Up North is an annual celebration of queer cinema, art, literature, music, comedy and general culture. There are a number of things I want to go to and if you fancy joining me, please get in touch:

• 10th May - Queer Question Time
• 11th May - The Living End - possible transport home problems 8-(

In an attempt to buck the trend of boring life updates, queer theory and general rantiness I thought I'd give some comment on the new coin designs in the UK.

When I first saw that picture I wasn't overly impressed. As a whole the set didn't seem to "work". Maybe it's because they're too spread out to appreciate the shield design (although it's easy enough to see).
