The first shades of Autumn have swept in recently, you may have noticed? In the back of my head I've dreaded the moment when the light leaves our days and the damp, cool air returns.

Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
8 days is not a long time. Try living in the UK. (This was an axed Smiths line.)

Welcome to London: Country comes to Town
"Just blend in, mate." That is the best, most poignant advice I have been given, possibly ever, and I got it from a man who had determined to talk to every shopper in the Campden Lidl.
