On the murder of Joanna Yeates

20th January 2011

Guess who’s back (me)
Back again (me)
Saul is back (me)
Tell a friend (do)

Hello everyone I know and don’t know.

It’s been a while since the last blog but then you see I’ve been a little busy what with appearing in the Guardian and generally prancing around like a media luvvie-tit.
