I just had breakfast, during which I caught up with current affairs. Police chief bob Quick has just resigned, and apparently there were terror raids over at Liverpool john moores university. My gut reaction, I must admit, was ”how exciting – wonder if 007 is around somewhere”, but then, I am a movie geek. Nothing like that ever happens here at MMU. I wonder if I should start my own terrorist cell, just to get in on the action. But then, I’d have norma the security guard after me, and she’s scary.

Seriously though, I think we’re living in increasingly troubled times.
