As a long-time Radio 4 listener, it’s fascinating to get a glimpse behind the scenes of the Today programme…
One might argue that a viral video stops being viral when the programme it is promoting has to promote the video itself… Still, fun though.

Québec Update, Part the Second
May 19, 2007 by dafyd
The Canadian High Commission updated its website today (or yesterday, but I’m pretty certain it was today). Previously, as I said on Thursday, there was no indication of how long one should wait for a work permit application, just a vague “most are dealt with in three weeks” kind of statistic.
Now, as well as changing the yellow background to white and tidying up a little (just a little – it’s now slightly easier to find what you’re looking for), they’ve added this little gem: “the average processing time for a fully completed, standard application is approximately 4 to 6 weeks.” So, double what it was four weeks ago, when I submitted my application.

Looks like they’re getting funny again. Bodes well for the movie.

Rip, Mix, Burn, Ma’am
