I was at the bus stop and spotted this window display. I know no one who'd spend that on shoes (but I could almost see me falling to the floor and clinging onto the ankles of the purchaser sobbing "give me your money. Pleeeeeeze, pleeeeeze!!!")

Chat today - Dimbleby and the bullock, the headliners at the Hogmanay Street party (yup, we've NO idea who they are either) and assorted less important tit bits.

* Who am I kidding. Stuff's great
