Interesting Links for 12-9-2010

• Mapping the UK: phone calls reveal social and cultural links
  This is really rather cool, especially the map at the bottom. Makes the Westcountry too big, as usual, but could be a very helpful tool if redrawing borders and boundaries at some point. The BBC needs to point a decent sub editor at the whole article though, most of my blog posts have fewer typos.

• Diet advice problems solved: poo lady vs Nigella
  Perhaps a little bit unfair and objectifying, but it definitely makes the point. Nigella is FIFTY? Ye gods.

Gah! You have an evening posting time! Everyone will think I got my Nigella link from you! Oh, the ignomy! :->

You did get it from me.

It was me who pointed you at Timmy as a good source, ergo while it was several years ago, it was still from me ;-)

Curses! Foiled again!

Mmm, I liked the alternative partitioning, too - particularly the 2b version with 23 zones rather than 11. I wonder how people tend to identify in practice and how that changes, or has changed, over time?
