1. Of all the things not to write in Comic Sans (although really I can think of very few things that one should), I think a report on Domestic Violence would be quite high up the list. And yet here I am, reading one.

2. More Notes and Queries:

Whatever happened to Rick Astley?

I went to school with Rick, although I didn't really know him as he was a couple of years younger than me. On a recent Xmas night out at a local Indian restaurant, me and some friends spotted Rick sitting on his own at a table near the kitchen. He looked very miserable until his meal arrived. He wolfed it down and then spent the rest of the night drinking and making angry phone calls on his mobile. Anyone else spotted him around the area recently?

Further to my earlier answer - I have since seen Rick Astley again -in the same restaurant near my home. This time he seemed much more cheerful.

3. Fringe previews tonight, hurrah.

4. I saw Dark Knight last night, which I wasn't terribly impressed with. I can't take Christian Bale seriously when he's doing his Batman voice. Heath Ledger was quite good. Mostly I am looking forward to seeing Wild Child.

Yes, Wild Child looks deeply entertaining! Am looking forward to that, too.

I was glad to read that Rick Astley looked much more cheerful the second time. My brother contracts his name to Kastley.

"Domestic Violence - it's hilarious!"

Is this something you're marking? I tell my students anything in Comic Sans or the like will be returned unmarked.

Nope, published report on domestic violence! I too tell my students that Comic Sans is the work of the devil. Hopefully it will all trickle down in the coming generation and eradicate the font.

My father uses comic sans in PowerPoints on child protection statistics.

I advised him that this may seem flippant. He was taken aback, and said that he thought it cheered things up a bit.

I am envying you your Fringe activities, but not in a way that makes me interract. Apologies for that.
