In 1977. London's burning. Yeah right, mate. I just got back from friggin' Docklands. Nothing's burning there. Still - they were better than the Stones. Better than Cliff Richard (Hi Zoe!). Better than anyone actually. Here are the Clash Photo Rockers - one great big Clash photo gallery. Fan - tastic. Enjoy. 7:02:18 PM     |

Docklands. Since I had nothing else to do this morning, I boarded the Docklands Light Railway at Stratford, went off at Canary Wharf and had a little stroll around Docklands. In typical London weather of course: grey, rainy and rather cold for this time of the year. Anyway, it was quite nice and interesting, although the admission fee of £5 to get into the Docklands museum seemed a bit steep. Talking about money: you can get a small 160sqm apartment there for only 2 million pounds, which is a bargain really. 3:34:30 PM     |

I wonder if they'll send him to the village? Alastair Campbell quits. Alastair Campbell resigns as the government's director of communications and strategy, it is announced by Downing Street. [BBC News | News Front Page | UK Edition] 3:07:31 PM     |

More about yesterday's power cut is at Going Underground. Do not (I repeat) do not, ask any Londoner about their journey home this evening. 10:18:31 AM     |
