Like an idiot, I've taken on the role of group manager for the London web-loggers Meetup.com group. If you are a London blogger, or someone who would like to be a London blogger come along, sign up and say 'hi' to folks. There is also a forum which could prove handy...

The 'mini-blogmeet' I had recently went well, more people turned up than I was expecting, including Colin (who's link I've lost), Pixeldiva, Mozrat, and Stroppycow (who will not post any pictures of me if she knows what is good for her).

Then people from my 'real' life turned up, which was more than a little weird as in my head I have all the people I know grouped into 'Blog friends', 'Real-life friends' and 'Work friends', and it was more than a bit jarring to have these two separate groups meet up in one place. Still fun was (I think) had by all, I remained sober enough to walk, and no-one starting fighting...

So this is why I'm taking on the role of group manager - because blogmeets are a great place to make more friends, build contacts and generally relax with people who share a shared interest in blogging.

You really don't want to park your motor like that... Luckily both members of the crew were unhurt. Current info is that they were running on blue lights to a call, when a car in front decided to overtake another vehicle that had seen the ambulance and had (correctly) pulled over to the side of the road.

And in a multimedia frenzy, you can read about how a dog led nightly escapes at Battersea Dogs home, and can even watch a video of him doing it.
