Re: Tom Jones discusses leonard cohen on BBCTV 27-5-12
Andrew Marr is clearly a Cohen fan.
"And here he is, with Leonard Cohen's 'Tower of Song'..." Glad they mentioned Leonard. Not all covers are introduced with acknowledgement of the songwriter.

Very interesting. Thanks Foxwood. Loved the bit about Hydra being the one constant place in his childhood. Martin

Re: Join Us Next Monday March 26 - new timing
Hello Jarkko! I have two questions:
1.Will it matter if I don't read the page until 10am UK time (2 hours later)? I have other engagements, and doubt I can make it for 8am.
2.Have you guys put your clocks forwards for spring?
