Beware the overstimulated fans. They are an occupational hazard of any critic or reviewer, those fans of a particular act or artist who are so passionately dedicated to the hero worship of their favourites that they struggle to comprehend the point of view of someone who doesn’t quite share the [...]

“Write about Jade Goody next” was the request from one commenter below. Sadly I can’t as due to a combination of luck and good fortune and the fact she (thank heavens) is yet to kick a football in anger or sing a note I have yet to have any kind of encounter with her at all.

Prices rise. Sure, the value of your investments can go down as well as up, as the financial adverts are so keen to advise us, but the one constant in life is that over the long term everything rises in price, if not necessarily in overall value.

I don’t really know why, but this made me smile more than anything else over the course of the weekend.

I don’t actually have normal working days in the conventional nine to five sense. My working week is what you might describe as all over the shop, with a combination of straightforward office hours days, evenings that can run as late as 11pm and of course entire Saturday afternoons spent buried in [...]

I think it was about ten years ago. I was chatting online to some chap from overseas who had tracked me down and was overjoyed at the prospect of speaking to me, someone who for whatever reason he regarded as some kind of hero. There was one thing he was keen to know: “Are you famous in the UK?” I [...]
