    Anyway, I was wondering about something. When you blokes meet in the pubs at christmas, do you ignore eachother or do you blether as if nothing ever happened?
    Everyone I've met from this section of the org have been very nice people indeed. Can't speak for them, but I reckon they don't think I'm a total ogre, either. Right, folks...? Right folks?!

    I've bumped into Baz a couple of times and shook hands and said hello. He's no a bad chap. In fact, most of the org people are fine, we just like a verbal joust!

    Exactly, this place is boring when everyone gets along.

    And a Merry Christmas to all you baldies, indie kids, potential murderers, Rangers fans, and non-gingers alike, too. I can't remember all I might have said to offend anyone over the past year, but what can I say - it was a free bar

    Have a Happy New Year, and and all the very best in 2010.

    Good health!

    Well if we were talking musicians not just bands John Martyn would be my choice all day long.

    Regardless of where he was born, he is for me one of the greatest song writers of all time.

    I saw him so many times, and now I am reminded I will never see him again. That is a deep cut.

    I always thought Over The Hill summed up my frequent escapes home to the North well in my wild days in London.

    I hope John is resting well.
