Odds and sods

When I was a child I thought the expression was 'odds and socks', somehow this still seems to make sense to me.

• It's the end of an era in Norwich as leading Green councillors decide not to restand.
• Check out the Scottish Blog Round-Up, very good.
• Colin Fox writes of ousing and Edinburgh Divided.
• Hangbitch on the myths of benefit privatisation.
• Richard disagrees with me on Libya's air space.
• Scientists have been studying swan's bottoms. Frankly what they get up to in their own time is their business and I fail to see why we should put up with this sort of tabloid shock journalism.
