So, we arranged my Mum's funeral 'life story' today at a Vicarage I went inside when I was about 7 for a weird school trip where the American priest at the time showed us his shotguns (despite the recent gun massacre of schoolkids at the time in Dunblane), while insisting that he wouldn't be giving them back to the British authorities ( Read more... )

Since Radiohead are headlining Glastonbury on the Friday Night (we're not going, but the TV coverage is likely to be on), I thought I'd give their new offering a whirl.
