		<description><![CDATA[Shocking new research was published in the Telegraph yesterday: only one in five children can perform &#8220;simple tasks like tie a reef knot, read a map or mend a bicycle puncture.&#8221; Nor can they perform such simple jobs as cooking a meal, loading a flintlock or operating a loom, though Chinese children are remarkably adept at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in, quite conceivably, the dullest country in the world. The only thing that makes my work exciting is that I don&#8217;t press &#8220;Save&#8221; as often as I should. My hobbies include (and are mostly limited to) activities that involve sitting. I live in a neighbourhood where a bin facing the wrong direction passes [...]]]></description>

The site in question is www.thesecretofinvisibility.com, which offers the secret of invisibility for only $24.95.

The Popunie takes an active role in promoting them and produces a double-CD with some of the most interesting musicians each year.

		<description><![CDATA[Blood red shoes have been around since 2005, but I&#8217;ve only recently learned about them, as they&#8217;ll be playing at the Lowlands launch party next month (unfortunately sold out). They make what I can only describe as highly danceable grunge, which is great news not only because it is great music, but also because it might mean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cold War Kids released the four-track &#8220;Behave Yourself&#8221; EP in December of last year. The only disappointment about it is that it is not a full album. &#8220;Audience&#8221; is one of Cold War Kids&#8217; poppiest and catchiest songs to date, while the others required a few listens before I took to them. Since then, &#8220;Santa Ana Winds&#8221; [...]]]></description>

Not only did I join the ranks of middle-management and buy a dining table, I also stopped caring about the world at large. That means there&#8217;s little left for me to rant about. As becoming an adult is one of my worst nightmares, I have compensated by [...]]]></description>
