So on the 18th June 2022 my little brother, Daniel, married Helena: a wonderful woman who he met at Exeter University. I was asked to be best man, which was a great honour. Unfortunately Covid intervened and both Joe and I tested positive for it the day before it was due to take place. Thankfully, through the power of modern technology I was able to give the speech, albeit as a disembodied voice. And here it is!

I was reminded of this today, and I don’t come out of it too well if truth be told. Basically I’m a credulous fool. But I quite like the prose, which was done during A-Level English when studying Clive James’ “Unreliable Memoirs”. I think I captured the style and I should probably do more in it.

I was reminded this weekend of a rather marvellous day that took place back on Good Friday 2019 where I got to meet the marvellous Eurovision luminaries Nicki French and SuRie and a host of other wonderful people at the Retro Bar in London. This is me eulogising about it.
