Although 'ramblings' is the word Dick himself uses, what he has to say is far from rambling in the accepted sense of the word.

Whenever I'm called upon to cite examples of a well-designed, informative and wholly accessible website, this one invariably heads my list.

This is aside from even beginning to take into account his astounding musicality and riveting stage presence - an all-round top bloke with an unparalled line in superb invective where it's most needed.

And he'll be at one of my favourite venues, the Old Rose & Crown in Walthamstow on 4 December.
