Commuter In A Hurry?

How you travel on escalators on the Tube is often an indicator of how much of a rush you're in. Most people will just stand. Some people will walk down. If you're really in a hurry (or trying to escape from gun-toting cops...), you'll run down. This guy, though, must have been seriously pressed for time...

Well, it's local. I travel (read: usually standing) down that escalator on my way home from work every day. I'm wondering where in Islington I can buy a luge.... Oh and the video's slightly wrong. It's the longest escalator in western Europe. There are longer ones on the Moscow Metro. And the Swiss are planning to build a longer one under a mountain in the Alps, apparently.

Oops

Radiotimes.com have just launched a new version of their website. Unfortunately, it's broken. For starters, it's slower (not that it was ever all that speedy in the first place...) and, in my opinion, doesn't quite look as good any more. However, there be bugs....

Specifically, the main TV listings grid. It's much the same as it used to be, in that you hover over a programme's name, and a little orange box pops up giving a bit more detail. In the old version, this box hovered in a logical place, not too far from the cursor. In this new version, it hovers quite a distance away. Unless you're using Opera, in which case you just get a tooltip with some HTML in it. It looks like a CSS issue, and the same behaviour can be seen in IE6 and Firefox (which is something of an oddity in itself!). I've not tried IE7 because nobody here at work has it installed - but I bet it works okay in IE7. Bad, bad, people. Come here and get your wrists slapped.
