Either someone had a good New Year’s celebration or the council are as good at collecting glass for recycling as they are gritting the roads.

Glass, the Red Queen tells Alice that “it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

A reasonable gig, but I’ve seen Gomez perform a lot better. he big surprise of the night was Frightened Rabbit, the support band who put in a very impressive support set. This is a band with lots of potential.

Although a lot of this is not new thinking it is well expressed, and also highlighted in the light of the fact that recent findings have shown Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) actually have helped advertising not hindered it.
