		<description><![CDATA[
Last night I went to see a band*.
Well, that’s a bit generous – what I actually saw was a lot of people’s backs, a host of phones and cameras waving about in the air and a rip-roaring light show. In the absence of being able to see anything worth looking at I spent some time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere out there, there is a list. A list that has been created by an ‘Expert Council’*, taking into account the opinions of over 2,400 members of the British public. A list so extensively researched that it makes your university dissertation look like the scrawl on the back of a napkin. This list will change the [...]]]></description>

But it’s true. Sure, I admire his inventive experimentation and his stories are gripping, his scripts all right and his love of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first heard about ultramarathons (as run by favourite author Haruki Murakami) I thought that was it. I’d found the sporting event in which I’d least like to partake. After all, I’d find it difficult to summon up the motivation to run away from a burning building and that’s with mortal fear spurring me [...]]]></description>

1. Skate &#8211; I had to lump these together because it turns out wearing funny boots and gliding unsteadily along is not exclusively appealing be it on wheels or blades. I want to go ice skating so badly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so impressed by the kids at Davenant Foundation School in Loughton, Essex, who went on strike after the school installed CCTV cameras in two classrooms.
