		<title>Law and Disorder in Early Modern Wales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haz a shiny book!

Publisher&#8217;s catalogue. (Amazon UK; Amazon US) 
There&#8217;s summat curious going on here - the publisher&#8217;s told me that the price is £45 (which is probably what I&#8217;d expect - the Amazon UK price is £46.99), but their online catalogue says £35. So if you want a cheap copy, you&#8217;d better jump [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another perspective on Wikipedia (and check out the gin analogy&#8230;):
I was being interviewed by a TV producer to see whether I should be on their show, and she asked me, &#8220;What are you seeing out there that&#8217;s interesting?&#8221;

		<title>An Old Bailey evening update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of today&#8217;s server-grinding-to-a-halt issues, the question has been asked - couldn&#8217;t this be anticipated?
To which the answer is: it was.
