Special armed squad first to use tactics developed with Israeli aid. That's all we need.

In other news, we went to see His Bobness last night. Very good. Though we were right at the back, being right at the back of the Orpheum Theatre, Vancouver, beats being right at the back at the MEN Arena, Manchester.

Mind you: Bob doesn't care very much about us. He's just doing his own thing. Him and his mates play a bit of music. A little jig here, a little jig there. There was a microphone on a stand centre-stage, but he didn't deign to use it. Only veered towards it sometimes when he was out from behind his keyboard, playing his harmonica solos. And he was gripping the harmonica like a little talisman as he acknowledged the lurve at the end of the show.
