Nice work, but since you asked for UI suggestions....

I can't seem to remove a facet - am I being dumb?  They facets are
draggable, should I be dragging them somewhere?

The 'Data loaded' flash needs to not repaint all the elements as well.
 I suggest absolute position it at the bottom or something.

Clicking the left hand column drop down in the newcastle demo goes off
the LHS of the screen.
