just reading the paper, boris has been elevated by the tories to shadow arts minister. he has proposed a six point plan, a "poetry olympiad", new radio frequencies to allow greater air time for the rolling stones in oxfordshire and my favourite...outlawing american spell checkers. he also said...

I've been browsing the library, this could be such a great resource. why is this not being used more? there's only a hand full of reviews surely we can do better than that. Come on chaps and chappesses no need to be shy, it's just an opinion, lets get some more reviews on there. ksky
