Nice, funny-ish, a bit sweary (sorry, not fucking sorry). Ageing disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery, less political here than there (not much).

I can SO picture Graham folding his arms in a strop and huffing "I don't have to answer to you people!".

I blame Blue Peter. I distinctly remember Kniie Huq explaining how to fashion an IED out of old batteries and an X-Box controller.

It's a great story - didn't they do a whole marketing campaign about a reward for whoever solved the riddle, in a 'Kit Williams/Masquerade' style?
I believe it was years before Kershaw admitted the lyrics were actually meaningless!

Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you . . .
