vanessaramaWe watched the DVD of the last live performance of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" this afternoon, the one with the tribute to Chairman Humph at the end, and laughed and laughed. We saw a bit of it, just the end, while we were in the UK in September and it's nice to see the whole thing.
I have half an hour to wait before we can go pick up our Sunday night Indian food, so here is a foodmeme to get my digestive juices flowing .
