The Mock Turtle

I've just finished Think Twice, about Michael Jackson. It is excellent but, be warned, deeply distressing in a couple of places. Oh, those poor little boys. (They do warn you about graphic bits) Again you look back and go - how was that allowed? How did NOBODY say "what the fuck"?

One very good thing it did, though, is explain why the jury got the verdict they did, and that neither of the accusing families demanded a financial settlement. They both wanted this settled in court. This dispersed any (very small) lingering doubts I had as I'd never heard that explained before.

Leo Schofield from the Bone Valley podcast has been given parole!

I've not heard of that one; was it thanks to the podcast?

I have discovered Alan Partridge from the Oasthouse about twelve years after everyone else. It's made me laugh out loud which rarely happens so that's a good sign!
