  1. Ooh v interesting. As I said to you elsewhere today Michael, I've been rather lax this week in doing things; I feel busy but I've nothing to show for it! As such I still haven't got round to listening to the podcast yet. There's a lot here on each section that I agree with. And I still need to see Dredd and Headhunters.
