And another small piece of news is the fact that I have a new nephew! Bobby and particularly Becky have just had a new baby. He was born last Wednesday at 3 something in the afternoon. He’s 7lb 13.5oz and 58cm long at birth. I went down to see him on Saturday, when poor Becky…

The majority of the 150+ photos I took are now available online at www.jaelandandrew.co.uk

It’s been ages since I last put anything up (aside from the last entry a couple of minutes ago). In the meantime, the world seems to have gone totally mad. We go to war in a matter of hours now. That much seems certain.

It’s strange to read about Soho bookshops in Graham Greene’s The Human Factor, and find yourself shopping in a similar enterprise the same day. There’s a place called The Soho Bookshop which has two branches as such – similar to the setup in the Greene novel. They both sell standard fare on the ground floor…

Since I set this blog thing up, it’s become like an impersonal diary. What I mean is this. I used to keep a diary. I was pretty meticulous about it for a number of years. And several of my university years are fully recorded. But the things I would put a paper diary are not…

Just a quick word of thanks to the correspondent on the Fi Glover programme on Radio Five who, on the occassion of the retirement to stud of Fergie’s horse Rock of Gibralter, explained so completely the stud process the horse will now face. With perhaps 100 matings a year, and talk of “teasers” for the…

Good luck with the wedding Max! I’m sat here at midnight trying to watch live online. Adam

I feel really guilty at the moment. There’s something I must confess to. I just have to get it off my chest. I bought the Daily Mail on Saturday. I know, I know. It was the TV ad that did it for me. It’s no defence, but they were giving away a pretty good sounding…

Have you any idea how much fun it is driving around the West Midlands with three Minis? Virgin Radio Wolverhampton is an RSL for a proposed West Midlands regional licence, and we got some branded Minis for the duration of the broadcast – about four weeks. So yesterday morning, we were out shooting our own…
