I'm now going for some kind of record for apologies on the list (four at the last count) from listees I met at Shepherd's Bush. All very nice, of course, but as I've already reassured Tag I have no recollection of being compared to a cat by Tag, didn't notice being bawled at by Rod, didn't feel insulted by JJ, and don't recall being asked my age by Stuart. The only apology I deserve is because the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up is now a week old. Thank you all for being so nice anyway... I must say that the apologies make a lovely change from any vitriol whihc might have been around not so long ago. I quite like the idea of a supplicating, apologising, penance paying list. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa! Today's list penance for anything you might have done wrong is to sing a line of Belle & Sebastian to everyone you meet. Oh yes. Even the checkout girl at Sainsbury's. Tomorrow's list penance is devised by... Stuart Gardiner. I like this game.
