  • Thanks Giles - I used to live on Fonthill Road and I'll enjoy that book. Campbell Bunk sounds pretty close to where I think John Lydon grew up but I guess it had changed quite a bit when he grew up from the inter war time. By the way, Busby, I loved…

  • ah, wanted to go to stromboli but didn't have time with the ferry... you go hiking in when it's dark so you can see the lava flow don't you? sounds fantastic. we climbed up to the peak of etna which erupted in 2002/03 and looked down into the smould…
