As requested, admittedly a while back, I'd like to point you, dear reader of these words, in the direction of another blog of equal import. My friend Tom is, amongst other things, an excellent stand-up comedian and is so far exceeding even my own high expectations in his role as director of our new improvised comedy project, The Four Gallants.

He is also, if not my favourite Tory on the planet (I have these parents), then certainly the one I would most willingly listen to on matters of politics. This, after a recent revelation that Andy isn't a Tory, despite wearing his shirts like that.

It is, however, strictly for people who are thoughtful and interested in all manners of the living. Warning: lovers of banality and mindlessness may be offended.
