Blimey, I'm full. Why? Well I have just been out for a fantastic curry chez Aziz on Cowley Road -- surely the best Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant in Oxford, which must make it one of the best in the country, since there is v stiff competition round here.

Also Aziz himself is a very charming man. He has known Miles (Mr D) for getting on 15 years, many of which were spent in their previous Botley-based lives. Hello Mr D he said the first time, without batting an eyelid, as if their joint transplantations from West to East Oxford were nothing remarkable.

And maybe they aren't. But tonight new ground was broken, as Miles asked Aziz along to his gig at the Zodiac on 7 December, and Aziz said he would come. 15 years later they may actually get to know each other a bit. Ain't life sweet sometimes.
