Lenny Henry tickets selling fast

Writing about web page http://www.warwickartscentre.co.uk/?page=wac_event_details.html&event_id=1756

Lenny's in top form at the moment. His current TV programme just keeps getting better, especially his Top Of The Pops 2 musical impressions. We just bought 2 tickets to see him at the Arts Centre on 8th October, £22 a ticket! But it'll be worth it. Last time he played there tickets sold out in 1 day and i failed to get any. They are almost sold out now.

Deisel = evil

Follow-up to I am just plain stupid from Transversality - Robert O'Toole

Time for a rant! Deisel = evil. Many motorcyclists are killed or seriously injured every year because of deisel spills. If even a small amount spills onto a wet road it spreads out into a large slick rendering traction almost impossible. If that happens on a corner, it's deadly.

As I often ride along Gibbet Hill Road, i'm quite familiar with this problem. Whenever it is wet there is a trail of deisel spills stretching the full length of the road. I accuse one of the local bus comapanies of being behind this menace, the company that uses older busses. Obviously I can't prove that, but I have seen spills behind the bus when there are none in front.

I also suspect that some older University vehicles could be a cause.
