By way of the comments, Gary James’ (I never know what to do with the apostrophe on names ending in s—its why I didn’t become a xian for years, all that confusion over Jesus’s or Jesus’, now I just settle for x and have done with it) newish blog.
Should maybe be over on ilkley rocks as a link, but he’s not in Ilkley (I think). Anyway, ver’ funny, albeit far too mentions of Crowded House for my liking. Particularly like the line ‘I’ve never forgotten that, largely because it’s only been a few minutes since I made it up’.
And Doctor Vee finally gets on to the blogroll months after he should have been. Despite a bewildering liking for Formula One, and having a far too clever understanding of blog layouts and all sorts of fancy pants stuff. He has very good taste in music, lovely and obscure. Oh, and also cos, when I was a pretentious youngster, I called me’sen ‘Vee’. Indeed most of my most pretentious work was done for various student rags under that sobriquet.
That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever read about my blog. Thanks!
So why did you call yourself Vee?

First name begins with a ‘V’, and most of my friends couldn’t spell it, so I became ‘V’ and pretension did the rest!
