I wonder how many police officers, when asked by the guy they've just stopped on the street for carrying a battle-axe, will actually go to the URL he tells … -

Cool And Interesting Thing Of The Day To Do At The University Of Wales, Aberystwyth, #48:
Discover, by sheer coincidence, that one of your more recent aquaintances down here (Claire) went to the same high school as one of your longer-running friends up North (Faye), and that they know one another! Freaky but completely true: the … -

Buy a ticket to see Craig Charles, Still Live On Earth, on November 20th, at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre (a.k.a. My Doorstep). Not bad.
