Thanks especially for the first one. I think I will take it as an "achieved" from my ambitions through October, if I put it into practice and do some experimental work with depth of feeling. Don't my ambitions look so tame compared with the scrap in the bath!

Are you TRYING to distract me from working?!

On the last one, it seems they might have been rehearsing this in teh laundrette. With added TVs (yep there was a mattress on the floor and 3 TVs stacked in the corner, weird).
