As teachers used to say “this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you”. I’m sure nobody wants to read all about my holidays, and I’m not sure I want to write about them but it needs to be done so I can move on, so here are a few thoughts about Crete, […]

No more Confidential
September 28th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Life
According to the Guardian, the BBC is going to scrap Doctor Who Confidential to save costs. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I would have thought it was a fairly cheap way to fill that much airtime, and bulk out the DVD releases that make so much cash for the BBC. I think […]

Tucked away towards the bottom is the information that Crawley council paid a private firm £2,475 to provide security at a single development control meeting last year. Anybody know what that meeting was about? I can’t remember […]
