The photo referred to
The National Portrait Gallery in London has confirmed today that they will be hanging a photograph taken of the Smiths in 1986.
I would imagine that most are familiar with the picture, it pictures Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce outside Salford Lads Club, Manchester.
Only the BBC so far, that I can find, are reporting this story and they do not stipulate when this picture will be going up.
I shall certainly be there when it is though, when they display pictures in the National Portrait Gallery, they are usually very big and to see it that size would be wonderful.
Once again this just goes to show that The Smiths really are a Great British institution.

Spot the difference
Originally uploaded by charmingman.
The Guardian today launched their new format, the Berliner.
The paper is about 25% the size of the broadsheet size that it has always been and is now in full colour throughout.
I’m liking it. I could never read the old format paper on the bus or on the train, simply because it was too big.
I would end up just reading the G2 section and not the main section at all, which seemed a bit of a waste. We won’t have that problem anymore from today, gladly.
The BBC have written a piece about the change, well balanced as usual.

I bought another t-shirt on eBay on Friday. I’m becoming some type of unstoppable monster, I swear it.
I bought it from the same seller that I bought my Bill Hicks t-shirt from, it was really good quality so decided to get another, with a different design. Argueably, a better design.
Here’s the new one..
And here’s the Hicks one..I decided on the brown with orange writing, it does look quite cool.
Morrissey should be arriving tomorrow

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
My comment authorisation script, which is supposed to stop spam, no longer works.
My plugin to interface with FlickR, which I only got working just two weeks ago, no longer works.
I cannot see any of my old comments in the Movable Type administration screens anymore.
It’s just a pile of shit. If they had told us there was going to be major modifications to the way plugins were handled, why did they not make this more promenant on the download page? Huh?
Now, does anybody, anybody anywhere, have a copy of Movable Type version 3.17 or 3.15?
I need to ‘downgrade’ (if you can really call this an ‘upgrade’) and I did not keep a copy of it and cannot find a copy of it anywhere on the net, Sixapart seem to want you to only download from their site.
I also regret not backing up any of my data before applying the change, which was a very stupid idea.
