I went to school with Andy Burnham. Not not THAT one, another one. But, I just thought I'd mentioned it anyway, today of all days.
A German, a Brazilian and a Dutchman walk into a bar. An Englishman is usually with them but he's still *at* the World Cup. Nah, lissun ...
"So, you think there's a market for jewellery coloured like shit?"
Good grief Christina, England in "actually halfway decent performance at World Cup" shock. Well, *that'll* never catch on, clearly.

This is Gene Savoy, the American explorer, author and theologian best known for his claims to have discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru. That was obviously before he became the lead singer of Yello. Chikka chikka.
If he was a Bulgarian, I'd be really worried. (One of all dear fiends of "a certain age", there ...)
You know how it is? You've just started a new book, four days in and it's going well, you're ahead of your self-imposed word count (let's see how long that lasts) and you think, "you know what I really really really really deserve? This." Yeah, THAT!
