Er, hello. Just spreading my new Blogger wings, really – though could use the opportunity to mention an idea Fiona and I had about an extra-curricular visit to Escape (‘art’ bar opposite Herne Hill station) the next time Jerry Dammers (of The Specials) is DJing there.

Once upon a time there were two friends called happy friend and sad friend. Happy friend was always happy. Sad friend was always sad. Why was happy friend happy and sad friend sad?
