2006-02-28 : There were no fat ladies ?! Does that mean the show’s not over ??
Had my first ever trip to the opera on Saturday night. Hannah and Catrin (both looking a million dollars) accompanied me to the Royal Albert Hall for my maiden operatic voyage. Despite feeling a little seedy from a 4am poker

2006-02-02 : Is there a Doctor in the house ? There could be…
This country just gets harder and harder to consider leaving, I tells ya ! Thanks to the innovative folk at BT, no longer are text messages purely the province of the technorati-mobile-phone-possessing-set ! Now luddites with just their home phones
