Will Clarkson be distributing birdseed to the birdies? :) Would he be more like Brian May, who's given over a chunk of his land to Harper Asprey, a wildlife rescue agency for whom a friend of mine volunteers. He's done a lot of good publicity for them, particularly their work with foxes. (He was on the Foxes Live: Wild on the City show on Channel 4 recently, dispelling myths about foxes.)

I'm looking forward to this Friday night's Have I Got News for You. William Shatner is the host. Charlie Brooker and Andy Hamilton are the guest panelists along with stalwarts Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. I don't know how well known Brooker and Hamilton are outside of the UK, but Brooker is blunt, to the point and boldly satirical. And Hamilton is a good comedian -- he's one of the main writers/directors/producers of Outnumbered.

It'll be a nice distraction in the background whilst I'm completing the on-line standardisation for the exam I mark.
