If I don't do it immediately I never will (got an email sat in my inbox I must respond to, but I can't be bothered). Oh, and to answer your question - Creep by Radiohead I remember when I was Entertainment officer at Liverpool University, sitting on the floor at the back of the theatre, with me, three mates, and Thom Yorke messing around with a guitar singing that song. Was amazing. I’m the worst at commenting back. If I don’t do it immediately I never will (got an email sat in my inbox I must respond to, but I can’t be bothered).
