A couple of weeks ago, I popped over to see two of my best friends and to attend my Godson’s birthday party.
After all the little darlings had run out of the energy they obtained from ingesting copious quantities of processed sugar all day, we finally packed them off to bed and gratefully collapsed in the conservatory. Around midnight, we flicked on the radio and over a large coffee, listened to Bob Harris on BBC Radio2.

R.I.P Mo
Mo Mowlam’s death today is a loss on quite a few fronts.
It’s a big loss to the irreverent, no-bullshit, we-DON’T-kiss-Bliars-arse faction within the Labour party (only Tony Benn now remains from that group!)
It’s also a loss to female Winston Churchill impersonators.
Most importantly, it’s a loss of a key figure in the Good Friday agreements, which eventually led to the recent unprecedented disarming and cessation of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
Rest in Peace Mo – You earned it and you will be missed!
