Rare that I tweet earnestly, let alone about work, but the University has had a problem thrown at it and has immediately looked after its students, that's not PR, that's just what's happened, my colleagues across the Uni have been incredible in their response.

Nick Cave at Alley Pally on BBC 4 now... Beautiful.
My Nick Cave story needs no embellishing:
We were neighbours in Hove and used to rent dvds from the same shop on Western Road, I was in there as he was with his whole family as well as one other man neither of us knew...

March the 28th is Lincolnshire Tank Top Day, this is in honour of Christina Tank Top who invented the sleeveless sweater, along with several variations of the box mangle. She was born in Horncastle on this day in 1742. One of the greats.
