If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I had such high hopes for last night. Sleep-wise, I mean. I collapsed into bed in a state of sheer exhaustion and was still laying there wondering why I was wide awake but dog tired at half past three […]

So here I am at the far end of a busy weekend that has been work work work since Friday night. All I have to do now is tonight’s slot on Through the Night and then I can flop into bed until morning. I’m hoping I’ll sleep right through but I’ve been having trouble dropping […]

The man in the red pants (see 2001, 2002, 2003) accidentally slipped out of his red pants today. Ugh. Sideways through a leg hole in the middle of the park. I’d just finished eating, which is a blessing.
Poor guy. He didn’t notice for a little while, but when he did he tucked himself back in […]

Prof Elizabeth Stone’s appeal came as it emerged the national museum in Baghdad had lost about ten per cent of its artefacts. ‘I would like to see helicopters shooting bullets so people know there is a real price […]

Has there been an explosion at the sewage plant?
Chelmsford smells awful tonight.
