All about us, quite obviously. Please note that, for the moment, only Matt's details are here. Ian's will follow in a couple of days, when I've managed to twist his arm enough to answer all these questions. And that's it, really. Now, what to fill the rest of this box in with? Did I ever tell you about the time that I fell into the penguin pool at Bristol Zoo? Yes? Well, how about the one where I got my head stuck in the railings of a gate? No? Well, that's because I just made it up. Oh, it's time for you to go. Bye then!
