Why did I laugh myself silly at that heading in the newspaper? I hadn't read the story, it was obviously tragic - but so Monty Python. Should I seek professional help?

It's always struck me as odd that we symbolise a fair amount of torture in our society. Even in religion we often worship a tortured young man, nailed to a cross by his hands and his ankles, and stabbed through the side with a spear. A gory vision that we often wear replicas of around our necks and place pictures of in our houses. Other religions must see Christianity as a weird sort of cult that worships torture.

Really really liked this. Needed to reread a couple of times, and... wow!

Thanks,

Has anyone had a truly spooky, apparently inexplicable experience? I don't mean the 'I was trying to wake up when this person came in and sat on the end of the bed' ones, I mean something really creepy. I haven't by the way, which is why I was asking you lot.

Apologies if you don't get a reply to a missive over the next couple of days as we lug desks, computers, files, the very old fridge and other assorted nonsense across London. We're going from the hellhole of crack-addled Camden to the relative joys of the junction of the Essex Road and the Balls Pond Road in N1.

Wish us luck!
