iPad version of Safari problem

When I look at Livejournal with Safari on my Macbook I see my preferred page layouts. Some time in the last few weeks the iPad version has started showing a horrible layout with the right-hand third of the screen wasted showing a calendar I don't want and other crap.

Is there any way to make iPad Safari tell Livejournal it's on a desktop PC or similar? Alternatively, any other browser that will?

later - see draconin's solution, linked in the comments, which fixed things instantly.
