Yo Ralphie - of course we're mates; and I'm Derek's mate too (though I'm still realing rather from his own pop-trad twist delivered at The Shakespeare in Durham some months back). I can see where you're all coming from, just that I'm just trying to maintain some measure of objectivity here; guiding you all to an oasis of impartiality midst the scorching heat of your respective passions, outbursting & otherwise, as our caravan of wise men winds its way across the cultural deserts in pursuit of our particular star.
