What a day's cricket! What a match! What an atmosphere, and what a way to get out at the end!

Yes. Mostly in favour - great for preventative care and personalised medicine. But I suspect the privacy is a main concern, especially when insurance companies buy into the data and determine your prsonalised premium, or even an "uninsurable" status. It's a two-edged pee-stick.

Lovely night at the gorgeous Chipping Norton Theatre, a tiny (~150 seats) venue. Jon Boden's Remnant Kings played an evening of parlour ballads and broadsides. They're a six piece band including Sam Sweeney and M G Boulter. Excellent musicianship and a great performance.

The Boogie Woogie (and many other styles) was well purveyed by The Jools Holland Band last night at Warwick Arts Centre, and included Chris Difford. Ed Richardson was on drums following Gilson Lavis' retirement, and took on the role excellently.
Hannah White supported and was very impressive.

America did not split the atom first. And if it's too cold to have your inauguration outside, I suggest you review the Greenland invasion, and Canada too.
