I'm a little bit in shock. I just watched the final part (part 6, all parts five minutes or so...) of Girl Number 9 , the web-only thriller written by James Moran, and starring Gareth David-Lloyd, Joe Absalom and Tracy Ann Oberman.

One again the yearly charade of concern for the UK’s war dead and wounded is upon us. Whether you wear one or not it is difficult to argue with the fact the ‘Red Poppy,’ and those like the British Legion who stand behind it, glorifies war in all its putridity.

I've just signed up to David Lloyd, the uber-swish health club, and, you know, it feels like I belong ... sniff... But the deciding factor was the plush swimming pool. It's curious how that came to be the big pull because I only really taught myself to swim during my recent sojourn to Cornwall.
