"The eighth and final day of the best-dressed tour saw the team hit the streets of the Toon. Known for its impressive art gallery and a penchant for swooping architecture, (not forgetting girls able to take on a blizzard in a bra and a belt) Newcastle surprised with its breadth of individual looks.

From a bow-tie sporting art lecturer to a menswear buyer who championed the deconstructed look, there was plenty for the team to work with – a relief, considering our fleeting timescale. Thanks to a glut of independent men’s boutiques – including Cruise and End Hunting Co – selling innovative garments from a range of designers, Newcastle University’s infamous pink shirt brigade gained no ground."

Mugabe and the White African

This is one of the best films I've seen for a while. I've always been anti-Mugabe (who isn't?) but this will push anyone over the edge.

You can watch the whole docufilm here.

"If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to destroy every fucking grammar school in England. And Wales and Northern Ireland"

I take these steps from Westminster tube station everyday so this cartoon made me chuckle. It's obviously in relation to the cuts making MPs and Ministers take public transport when possible, and the Queen's opening of parliament on Tuesday morning.

Nike World Cup ad

Oh God, I'm getting really excited. I've decided England are going to win the World Cup.

This guy in the Junior Apprentice is a legend. Watch is comedy audition tape here.

It's not often I get excited about buses, particularly as I live right next door to a bloody bus garage, but I love the look of the new Routemaster bus that should be on London's roads in 2012 (that means 2014)...especially as they're bringing back the old hop-on/off deck at the back. You can watch a video about here.

Cameron's first night in Number 10, reading Gordon Brown's welcome letter no doubt.

"Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over....It Is Now"

When I'm asked what my ideal job would be, it's always a tight toss up between 'War Photojournalist' - because it's exciting and eye opening - and 'F1 Driver' - because it's cool, and because of Monaco.

Watching the Monaco Grand Prix every year (because it's pretty much the Grand Prix to watch) always makes me renew my vows to go and watch it one day, when I've earned my millions...obv.

I sort of hate and love Rod Liddle at the same time, but sometimes he hits the nail on the head and isn't afraid to go for a crippling second strike...

"Tell me, have you ever seen our Labour MPs look happier — either the backbenchers or the more famous ones? They are all wearing the slightly dazed but definitely euphoric expressions of a middle-aged man whose wife has suddenly left him for a plumber called “Bob”. True, there is a slightly empty feeling inside — but on the other hand no more will they have to watch Andrew Lloyd Webber on Over the Rainbow, or wait outside fitting rooms in Monsoon, or take out the rubbish, or wash. It’s all over. Now they can eat a full English breakfast three times a day if they want and head off with the boys for a night at Spearmint Rhino. Then, back home, gratuitously leave the toilet seat up."

“When I stepped across the threshold I became privy to briefing materials in the Treasury. The quality of the young officials who worked with me was extraordinarily high, so much better than most of the investment bankers”

- Lord Myners

Today I've had my new minister announced by David Cameron, replacing Lord Myners who will no doubt go on to other great things. As tribute to him - but mostly me and my colleagues - the above post is a rare example of a compliment issued by a man who knows what he's talking about.

One thing a full ipod is good for, is just hitting random play and seeing what gems are thrown up. In this case Hedonism by SkunkAnansie came up. What a song!

The moment we got a new PM - David Cameron accepts the Queen's invitation to form a new Government.

Cool Song

Florence and the Machine - Girl with One Eye

Now the World Cup is on the horizon, it's time to start the fever that engulfs the nation. This ad is brilliant and tugs on every heartstring...if you can't get emotional about the Bobby Robson tribute or the immortal image of Bobby Moore standing next to a roaring lion...you're not human.

Boulton vs. Campbell

I saw this live and thought it was awesome, reminds me of the classic BBC footage where the documentary reporter loses it with the interviewee.

Election Night begins, and the Exit Polls predict a hung parliament (shock horror).

I want to be Jenson Button

Barber: Football fan?

Me: Yeah

Barber: Really? You look like more of a rugby fan to me

Me: You basically just called me fat
