Bye, Bowman; Park Pics
Just caught the tail end of the last Q&A.  Quite a sentimental moment as John Bowman received a standing ovation from the audience (and a handshake from Biffo Clyry, or someone like that).  His replacement has a hard act to follow, though I guess expectations are lowered across the board by this point.

In other news, bought a new backpack.  This one really does have notions of being a real rucksack: I'm sure everyone will agree my previous one wasn't nearly big enough (and is slowly falling to bits, too).  About half the price, too.  Sorry, Bag Shop, Tesco made me an offer that I couldn't refuse (though given the comically long queues, perhaps I should have -- wasn't willing to abandon my hard-won two litres of low-fat milk, however).
