Been working from home for a week already, not really a problem for me as I usually do a day or two a week from home anyway. Not unduly worried by tonight’s announcement as we’ve known it was coming. Our big issue […]

Ha! Me too!

I googled them recently to see if there’s any news (sadly not). What I did learn is that an academic I met at a Conference a couple of years ago was one of the band in that performance. Probably […]

This one sticks in my mind – dancers covered in Tetris blocks. If the Flaming Lips did it we’d be told it was art:

Read: David Hepworth’s A Fabulous Creation: How the LP Saved Our Lives. Look, it’s David Hepworth doing the David Hepworth thing and you’ve already made your mind up about him. If you didn’t like him before it […]
