Precisely. If technology hasn't made us more equal, perhaps Nicky could suggest how the masses would have been so freely available to access these messages, say 20 years ago?

Perhaps Nicky could have had his own teletext page? But even there I daresay he would have posted:
"Teletext is the new opiate of the masses, pixel-based information is EVIL"

I still have huge doubts that Nicky is doing the tweeting, but if the general concensus is that he is, I'll bow to that.

Perhaps he means 'equal' in a soio-economic sense, not just in terms of the ability to write and receive (in the long run quite pointless) bits of information. the internet may allow us equal access to information and modes of expression but, seriously, who's profiting? the guys who own google, facebook, twitter etc, not the ordinary people using them...

Designer - its called Globe and is a very exciting shop, but then Terminal 5 as a whole is a thing of beauty.

Theres a Valerie Phillips exhibition of photos in there in August (flying theme so it features Monika Monster) in a serendiptious move - gutted I'm flying to Prague from Stansted.

That sounds good. I bought a Valerie Phillips book from a Soho book shop a while back for about a fiver which I was very chuffed with. I meant to get it signed in America, but unfortunately I forgot to pack it (along with spare underwear. )
