This land is your land.

I was going to mention this a couple of days back : A footpath blocked by jailed property tycoon Nicholas van Hoogstraten for 13 years has been opened after a campaign by ramblers.

Yes indeed. It seems that Nicky Hoogs is still in jail. And he's also a bit poorer. My heart bleeds for him, obviously. Apparently Jeffrey Archer's still in the chokey also.

There seem to be a few Puressence gigs coming up in abut three weeks. The closest I've been told about is in . . . Sheffield. Hmm.

Last night

. . . I had the opening hour or so at WUS (note to non-bogtrotters : a rock night, run by the Cambridge Rocksoc). The songs I inflicted on the assembled oligotude were :

( not very good, mostly )

All I want for christmas . . .

At the moment, I am looking for:

1. A cuddly minotaur.

2. A poster of Vincent Price.

3. Absolute Power.

Plans for number 3 are proceeding nicely, but I'm a bit stumped on the first two. Does anyone know of a source for these things?
