Smooth criminals

Crimewatch! (Or Crimelisten!) We devote most of the 71st Collings & Herrin podcast to the story of Richard's iPhone being snatched in West London by an opportunistic tearaway and smooth criminal with brilliant cycling skills and the desire to make us ask the question: who is the real thief? (It's him.) This is clearly more important than Michael Jackson's "macabre circus" of a funeral, the mystery of the Human Shrub and anything I have done. Anyway, back to Richard's iPhone ... which came in the now-empty box pictured, and went - just like that - in a blur of colours and replaceable nuts and bolts and a photo of Richard in an uncompromising moustache which we hope at least gave the thief a fright.

A Collings overdose for me this week, as I've finally managed to locate Lloyd Cole Knew My Father on questionable web sites. (I looked for it at legitimate sites, but it was nowhere to be seen.)

Finished it today, and will henceforth refer to U2 as 80s band U2.

Good stuff.

Listening it to it now.

I read RKH's mammoth blog entry about his stolen phone today. Now I feel like I've read a book directly before going to see a film based on the book.

I wonder if he's changed the ending...

You two were on fire today! That was the best podcast to date, really fun. Thank you both.

This came across my news reader today

Thought you might be interested. The turtle's shell is not a fingernail at all. Rather it's their ribs that form the upper shell. Amazing!

I would LOVE to hear Lloyd Cole Knew My Father. Have hunted for it before but to no avail. Will try again, then. I wonder what questionable sites? I don't do any of that peer to peer stuff. Too complicated as well as anything else.
