I'm drowning in other people's "Best of 2008" lists, so I'm not going to add to the pile. Instead, just one lovely thing from 2008 that still makes me laugh every time I see it.The shiny guy does always worry.See you next year!

I woke up this morning, as I have so many, many mornings of my life, to news of conflict in the Middle East. Today it’s the second day of Israeli air attacks in the Gaza Strip, with a ground attack looking highly likely.The prospect of yet another war there, even after almost 600 years of conflict, should be news in itself.Why, then, does the story have to be run on our local news – Seven’s
