My Amy Winehouse pictures get favourited a lot on Flickr. Mostly by women. Does Amy, like Sinead, scare the hell out of most boys?

Watching this week’s House I was surprised by the likeness between these two actors, though D.B. Sweeney looks very different from Stephen Rea in his (younger) IMDB profile picture.

Dammit, with tvtorrents.tv and btefnet.net (even #bt on IRC is invite only at the moment) offline, where’s a leech to go for a dedicated TV torrent source other than Usenet?

This has been bothering me all weekend. I have some MP3′s at work, a full (recently released?) album by a band whose name I can’t recall. I’d never heard of them before, but they may have been around for a while. My colleague passed them on to me. I went through all the Pitchfork reviews and current charts yesterdat, but couldn’t find them. I don’t know anything about the band and haven’t heard the songs enough to say anything about them, but their singer sounds a lot like Tom Jones. I think they’re British, but they might not be. I think their name sounded a little odd or funny, in that it didn’t fit with the music they played. I could wait till tomorrow to find out, but maybe you can tell me right now.Update: Duh. Remembered I can access work mail from home, found the original mail with the download link. The band is called Electric Six . If the Scissor Sisters played rock music, that’s what they sound like.

I’m looking to ship about 50 books and some t-shirts from Dublin to Amsterdam. I’m told surface shipping is the cheapest, but I contacted a company and got quoted £390. Does anyone have any experience in this?
