Two things:
Mr Hodge, this should explain what happened the other night.

Also, the future of XHTML.

Not as popular as reggae - Bono who?

OK, had a few problems with Blogger (my fault, not theirs), so catching up with posts. First, great recent show at Borderline with David Olney. Fabulous songwriting and an engaging solo performance, even if stage patter is not his thing ("Can I think of anthing to say?.....Nope."). Support from Cicero Buck, featuring the wonderful voice of Kris Wilkinson.

Read the gig review from Mr Hodge at Americana-UK.

Next, in a series of "how do you get paid for doing this?", scientists have discovered that alcohol makes others better looking. I'll be continuing my own researches into that later.

Bono betrays Ireland!

Spent a very pleasant afternoon last week wandering round some of the less touristy areas of Greenwich. My wanderings caused me to stumble across the Union pub, associated with the Meantime micro brewery. I won't tell you exactly where it is, but if you can find the Richard The First Young's pub, you'll see it next door. The guy behind the bar was very enthusiastic about his range of lagers and, being early in afternoon before too many customers arrived, took the time to let me sample each of them - except sadly the Chocolate (being "off"). I was very impressed and finally settled on the White, which has a very flowery taste and was just right dealing with my thirst on a very hot day.

I don't know why this cheers me up, but it does.
