2006 - February

[Sweder]

Worth the wait, as usual, more so for the quality of the piece; a real gem. I nearly didn’t make it past the kitchen floor bit, I was laughing so hard.

You may not be a pessimist but I suspect that like many of us in the ‘hopeful plodder’ category you have serious masochistic tendencies. We seem to revel in the sheer toughness of a difficult run, though to be fair there wasn’t much post-run revelling in the Home Counties last Sunday. We certainly line up for more soon enough.

I thought for one moment the audio clip ‘Lovely day’ might be that infamous butt of the oldest joke in the world:

How d’you change a duck into a soul singer?
Put him in a microwave and wait ‘til his Bill Withers.
I said it was old, not good.
