Can you BELIEVE Coldplay's breakthrough album Parachutes was released a DECADE ago? Disgusting.

I'm going through a phase of listening to music I listened to about 10 years ago. Here's one.

"They're making how much? God, I'm in the wrong business..."

"What business are you in?"

"Oh...I'm a student"

Welcome to the West London Free School from Toby Young on Vimeo.

Walking to work this morning I bumped into one of my heroes - Toby Young. I've blogged about his ideas on setting up Free Schools based on Scandinavian Academies and other examples from around the world. His project page is here and in the video above. He had, I'm guessing, just been for a meeting at Portcullis house, where the MPs have offices. Awesome.

I have a board next to me at work to stick ideas up and 'blue sky' things. However, it's testament to my lack of creativity that, instead, people put 'Ben's word of the day' up.

Today was 'irk'. Great word.

Argentina,

Some lessons in life are learnt the hard way, but most people will pick themselves up having suffered a blow, and move on. You obviously can't.

The Falkland Islands are sovereign British soil and always has been regardless of where it lies in relation to your country. The residents of the islands are proud to be considered British and don't want that to change. When in 1982 you decided to invade our sovereign soil, you opted out of diplomacy and forced our hand. We reacted firmly, and it seems you have failed to learn that while we are a peace-making nation, our bite is worse than our bark. As long as there are those around the world that embrace their membership to the old empire, we will protect them.

If you fancy yourselves again, we're waiting. Good Night Buenos Aires.

Britain.

I've started a new blog about my half marathon training. I'm certainly not giving this one up, as this tends to appease my twitches for creativity. The other blog will be focused on running routes, diets and fundraising.

You can get to it here, take a look.
