@jeffreylewisand, you're brilliant. Every gig of yours I've attended is different, original, spontaneous and generous. Really enjoyed chatting afterwards too, on subjects such as The Fall.

@janinegibson Blimey. This government response piece is a dog's dinner thrown up, eaten again, and vomited once more. Except any dog would have put more work into it. Or did it eat their homework? It's a see me after class, written in red.

I've been going through my parents' things recently. As children, they both lived through World War 2, and both had one of these. I've kept them. 'We'll never go back to those days,' they always thought. But hang on ...
