I was at the Nan Tien on Friday accompanying a Buddhist friend because it was some important day on the Buddhist Calendar. Their cafe does a really good Chai Latte

And you missed Philip Larkin who spent much of his life in Hull.
Interesting fact about the song Kayleigh. Apparently no girls born before 1985 had that name. Fish invented that Christian name and it's now a quite popular name for a girl.

Philip Larking I thought about but he really slagged Hull off when he left. They still decided to put a status of him in our train station though. probably because we haven't really got that many famous people. Only one of The Housemartins was from Hull.

Don't tell those living in Woking that Donkeyman although I have to confess I thought it was Chobham common just down the road from me. I walk the dogs there regularly and it's a bit creepy when it's misty I can well imagine the machines walking across there.
