Yes, what a busy bee I have been this week, as not only did I have the travel piece on Saturday, but I also have my column today.
And that's NOT all, folks. Yes, I have a bonus feature today, with the publication of my recent interview with Frank Gardner, the BBC Security correspondent.
I would like to offer some clarification to any poor souls who may have stumbled upon my blog as a consequence of reading one or more of these articles. For such a person, this might seem like the most vulgar and confusing circular exercise in self-promotion, and they may be right. But I would like to offer in my defence the fact that a significant proportion of my extended family live overseas, scattered to the four winds, and so I like to use this blog as an opportunity to keep them up to speed with what I've been up to.
In this respect, it could be seen as no more than the equivalent of a web-cam in a radio studio (it's radio. who needs pictures?) or worse perhaps,trained on someone who irons in the nuddy for money. I have heard tell of such things. I am not totally naive. I am anxious, though, as such an undertaking sounds extremely risky. It could lead to a very embarrassing hospital visit.

Great stuff, Tim! And thanks for lodging Ian Dury inside my head for the rest of the day!!
