Some people take great photographs of Oslo.
Still in Oslo and, clearly, not in the right part (or perhaps I should be here at a different time of year). I do love this city, and I’ve always stayed at great hotels here, including the Scandic Edderkoppen where I am now. If you’ve never been, get yourself across to Norway at some point – it’s a beautiful country. Shame I have to leave today (such a short trip), but check out this photo set for more great views of this city.
In Oslo again. It’s colder than elsewhere.

I have come to Oslo –again (or here and here) – on business. According to Flickr, there are 14,366 photos tagged Oslo in their system. This is one of my favourites, and these are the most interesting. I need to find something unusual to snap here!
After a shaky start to the summer, which saw big names Danny Baker and Jon Gaunt depart, the station turned its fortunes around, with a new lineup including JoAnne Good taking the Breakfast show chair and Jono Coleman’s return to the BBC London 94.9FM airwaves.
According to the press, ‘BBC London 94.9FM has recorded its second-highest audience figures ever, with 561,000 tuning in every week, according to the latest RAJAR figures covering July to September’.As I have mentioned several times, I love BBC London right now. It was sad when Danny Baker left – his was one of the most innovative morning shows – but JoAnne Good and the team have been excellent. I am very worried about Jono Coleman, as I am not very keen on him as a broadcaster, but I guess we’ll just have to see what the rest of the year brings.

I’m a crisp packet who’s about to fine you £50.
I love Anna’s writing.Captain Crisps and FagEndBoy are among my favourites:
It’s got to take the shine off your manhood, being publically admonished by a snack food wrapper.
Little Red Boat certainly has a way with words; she makes me laugh almost every day.
See the no smoking signs across Italy.
I just returned from a business trip to Italy to find that Italian bars, restaurants and airports are now smoke free. This is great news for those of us who don’t want to light up cigarettes as soon as we land in the country. But, honestly, Italy doesn’t smell the same any more and it’s kind of strange. Lovely, but strange.
