Whoa, stadium gig! And in this case, the biggest stadium of them all. A veritable modern day Colosseum, or perhaps a great temple built to honour advertising and football – Wembley Stadium. Cunningly, when I'd bought my ticket from eBay
2007-06-23 : Socksess! The cuban heel crisis is over!
Massive thanks to all who got involved in my recent plea to find red explorer socks. The response was truly overwhelming, and I was amazed that so many of you would take time out to go hunting for socks on
2007-06-19 : I may not know art, but I know fun ways to spend 8 quid.
