Most of the time I've worked in labs if I didn't encounter something in a week entirely unexpected and surprising I'd consider it a lost week.

Early British pop was helped tremendously by the writing of Bob Dylan who had proved you could write about political and quite controversial subjects. Certainly what we did followed on from what was happening with the angry young men in the theatre. ↗

I was going to buy a van and move to LA so I could secretly pursue acting without any of my friends knowing. ↗

I have written a book. This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn't think I could read, much less write. ↗
