I don't know about you, but that was a fast week. Not content with Wiki censorship and Facebook viruses, we also managed to score an unholy trinity of Hitler, France and Dad's Army. And now I'm trying to catch my breath.
Still, it's now less than a fortnight until we all load ourselves up with immense amounts of food, roll around in full bloat and sit listening quizzically while an extremely posh woman talks in an accent I find impenetrable. I for one can't wait.
And what's the only thing more traditional than that? Well, I can think of one thing: the holiday lists and end-of-year roundups put together by lazy journalists in the few moments they aren't skipping out of the office to go Christmas shopping?
Never ones to shy away from convention, I therefore bring you today's Friday Afternoon Question: a plaintive request to help your fellow readers by sharing your tips and suggestions gathered from the past 12 months.
What's the best website or service you've discovered this year?
I've been racking my brains for my own suggestions. Moving to the US has rekindled my love affair with Pandora, and I love Hype Machine for finding music. But I think I'm going to put forward Etsy, a sort of eBay for handmade goods, which I actually discovered in 2007 but has come into its own this year.
