Guido’s under-rated story of the week was the launch of the blog’s Misery Index as a counter-balance to the more airy-fairy Hiltonesque Happiness Index proposed by the government. It will be regularly updated with every data release.

This week the blog had 367,964 page views from 228,890 visits by 79,420 visitors. The top 7 stories last week in order of popularity were:

• Remembrance Day: Where They Fell

• End of an Éire
• Polly Slammed By the PCC
• Sky : Second Arrest Over Fire Extinguisher
• MP Forgets To Chuka Original Away
