By popular request (thanks Steve) I've added a separate RSS feed for the comments on the blog. You can find the new logo at the top right of the page (at time of writing).

Last night Ania and I ventured into deepest Feltham to see a movie at the Cineworld cinema complex at West Liesure, a mass of American-style commercialism and fast food joints huddled in an industrial zone.
