Rather tense day day today. I now see why Tarquin was somewhat enamoured with Ms Young. It certainly puts a new light on my appearance on Desert Island Discs. (I wonder if their research has revealed that I have several desert islands?)

I wanted to get back to compiling my list of songs - so far I only have "Sweet Home Alabama", but the realities of everyday industrial problems were a constant distraction. Other tunes that I have considered are: Money for Nothing, Money Money Money, Money Talks, something poignant from Johnny Cash, Love Over Gold, Fields of Gold, but none seem quite right.
