Us to a 'T'

I'm going to a Squadron reunion, this week-end. I always said I'd never do these things, but nostalgia is a powerful thing and I've been to a few now over the years. Anyway this one is for anyone who I ever served with, whether I liked them or not. Image is PD

like to think I am capable of separating the art from the artist.

Years and years ago I did A101 Arts Foundation course with the OU (it would have been about '83). At summer school in Hounslow (!) we trashed a whole afternoon with the...

This is really good.
