Am in the studio recovering from yesterday's successful (I think) but exhausting presentation to the BBC.

Warning, small rant follows:

As I listen, blinking, to the building site crashes of Olympic fueled "redevelopment" only feet from my studio window, it is tempting to muse on the fact that I took the same name a few years ago, while wandering around the area, to describe a creature that was, essentially and clunkily, the collected despair of the children of a whole community...

There's even some argument to be had about the use of resources in this building on the other side of the world, but whee! It's astounding!
