David gets the cover pic on the Times Higher Education Supplement
"The rather dry title of "university lecturer in igneous processes" bears
little relation to how exciting David Pyle's job is.
As one of the UK's leading volcanologists - he has just been poached
from Cambridge University by Oxford University - he spends his time
scaling volcanoes all over the world and trawling library archives to
work out what makes them behave the way they do."

There are plans to make a sequel to the hilarious comedy Bean, its set to be called Bean 2 and is due out on my next birthday! I'm glad that's my celebrations sorted well in advance. (I've never seen bean, but I could barely get through 10 minutes of it on the telly, its almost as bad as 2.4 children where they have to replace the expensive fish. Is bean the movie actually a masterpiece?)

Divine comedy in session on 6 music can be listened to again on the internet for a bit. They do the new single "to die a virgin" and my favourite new one "a lady of a certain age". They're also off on tour again playing Leeds met and Oxford Brooks, I think tickets are about £17, its expensive this gig business. Maybe I'll save my pennies so I can finally see the bluetones when they play near the new house in Oxford.
