I think it's great that we're celebrating women who are involved in technology. My girlfriend is a whizz with the washing machine, for example, although she struggles a bit with the SKY Plus box, bless her.

Pah, don't worry Istvanski - LC comes across all he-man but it's just a smokescreen. Really he's out-macho'd by morris dancers.

So - one person who can walk in all these bloody shoes we're supposed to be wearing right now.

I watched some TED lectures before, prompted by you, and for ten seconds felt full of zeal and conviction that I would probably grow my own rain forest and change the world somehow. Then I think I pulled the duvet back over my head. But hooray for inspirational types.

I LOVE her, the Alexander McQueen carved leg photoshoot is up in my work room, just the most beautiful thing.

She's amazing, isn't she?
