It’s a big big shame that TDB ‘Open Mike’ can’t be as responsive as that of TS – really, a big shame, but one I understand given the resources -including the fact that TS is supported by a slightly left-leaning IT expert and legend in his own mind and long-suffering partner, and one whose philanthropy substantially supports all the ‘costs’ involved (both economic, and emotional in the domestic environment’ – fuck me – I should have used the word ‘space’ in there somewhere – but not doubt there’ll be a tunety in the not too distant, going forward).
