In which the Elizabeth and Philip who aren't British Royals are back, Gorbachev is General Secretary, and the end, my friend, is near. Also, Arkady Ivanovich is BACK, and I know at least one person on lj whom this is going to make very happy indeed.

In other fannish news: this obituary of Philip Kerr, whose death I wrote about some days ago, goes into more detail than the Guardian one I linked earlier.
Also, I've known I liked the current Speaker of the House of Commons ever since he declared the Orange Menace, should he visit Britain, would NOT get invited into Parliament, but my distant affecton for Mr. Bercow got strengthed by him dressing down Boris Johnson yesterday. Britain's version of the Orange Menace and Foreign Secretary was as obnoxious as usual in ridiculing his Labour counterpart by calling her "Lady something" instead of her name, and Bercow calling him out on this was just beautiful to wach. Enjoy:
