Just wondering.
I'm just a little bit too young to have seen many of the bands that I grew up with in their finest.

I've seen Devo, 999, Crass, and, by getting away from a funeral after a phone call, the one and only original line-up Damned reunion.

A DK reunion would be splendid.

I'm 41 in November
And could make you weep!

I was at the last ever gig of the original Echo and the Bunnymen (Liverpool Royal Court, December 1988.)

I've seen The Clash (Lancaster University 1982.)

I wasn't at LiveAid - because I was at Act/Propaganda at Glasgow Barrowlands that night.

Any more?

Fine choice
I will sing anything, anywhere, badly.

I've been walking around work today singing "Just a spoonful of sugar" from Mary Poppins.

Possibly because there are very strong suggestions now that we have a buyer and we may not all be getting made redundant in January.

Just rumours
But credible rumours.

And if the rumours are right we'll be going into good hands.

This was always going to be my job until I retire - I only started with the company 4 years ago but finally, at nearly 41, I've found a job that I really enjoy.

More to the point, it might mean that we can keep the staff too.
