So then. Wednesday evening found me, Archie & Karl fighting our way through the eye of a hurricane to get to the New Vic to see the ledge John Cooper Clarke.  Anyone of a nervous disposition, or any of my more 'mature' relatives should probably not click on the link. Too late? Oh well. Lots of effin and jeffin and worse, but complete genius. I'm not overplaying this by saying that it was like sitting 10 feet away from Sir John Betjeman or Philip Larkin reciting their best. Anyway we all had a great time. Archie didn't know which way to look but he no doubt had plenty of existential material to tell in the playground today.

eg. - how deep would the sea be without all of those sponges in it?
    - if Jesus was Jewish, why the Spanish name?

As you will know I missed the Stoke game last night, but according to all of my trusted sources I missed nothing. Good. A point from a bad performance in impossible conditions will do.

I had been visited earlier by my great old friends Sarah And Marcus. When I say old I don't mean old, just longstanding! The support I am getting from everyone is really fantastic. The offers of help, the cards and gifts are much appreciated. It's just a bit surreal being in the position of being really well (except the obvious) but having no symptoms, and counting down the days to going in too hospital where the treatment is going to make me pretty unwell for a while. It's usually the other way round.

Thursday morning found me at 6Towns radio in Boslem where I joined bestest mates Noel & Dean on their Slagg Brothers show. Don't judge me, I've never done it before. Click on this link for a listen.
theslaggbrothers.co.uk if you click the microphone you can listen and potentially fast-forward through most of it.

Thanks for the diversion chaps. Much appreciated. The show is live every thursday morning from the big boss hour of 10am til midday 6 Towns Radio .Lock it in.
