I really feel that I should be irritated at James for losing last night but all honesty I am not. It can't be easy playing when you know that it doesn't really matter.
I really do hope these two "synchornise their diaries" for a while - hopefully touring together will do away with some of the loneliness and a bit of friendly competition can't hurt - might give Dan the impetus to move on and Wardy an opportunity to stop plodding.
