Produced by Robert Fripp. It's amazing where he crops up.

Phwooar, I'm extremely jealous. As Mrs Rox doesn't eat lamb that's a dish I get to have only very, very rarely.
Hope it's a good 'un πŸ˜‹

Always difficult to decide which is the best Saint Etienne London song (but I usually plump for Girl VII).

Look up the word "Absolute Banger" in a dictionary and there'll be this picture.

Three stills from the film Top Secret! Nick Rivers is in a train compartment where he is painting a picture. The second still shows him holding up a thumb and squinting at the view the way artists do. The third still shows what he is painting - the passing scenery, very blurred.

"Historic" and "iconic" are just two of the words that have been used to describe it. It's been there since 1946 and a few years back it became almost fashionable, a bit of a tourist hotspot, even.
I used to love going there in the 90s when I worked up on Victoria Street.

The prep they must have to go through for this though.

No up-dates on this, so I'm hoping that either you found some pickled tomatoes or the craving passsed, as cravings so often do.

Missed this, but didn't today's stuff from OBR management strongly imply that everything Mason's been banging on about Reeve's budget was wrong?
