Amidst all the intellectual (and, of course, very middle-class) debate about how calmly and lucidly Belle de Jour handled her decision, back in 2003, to embark on a (brief) career as a call girl in order to fund her PhD studies, and how expertly she has now handled the revelation of her true identity, the other side of the story seems to have been rather forgotten: namely, that prostitution isn’t all ITV-peaktime-high-gloss-airbrushed-drama-starring-Billie-Piper. I’m glad that The Guardian has remembered, at least.

Gobbets brutally and hastily ripped from the foul, rotting carcass of the internet. Placed here for the use, misuse and general abuse of rabid web scavengers. Another Unreliable Witness diversion.

White Town: Your Woman - I have a guilty soft spot for this track. Undoubtedly the best one-hit wonder ever to get to the top of the charts, from completely out of nowhere, with a combination of lyrics that mention Marxism and gender confusion, instrumentation based on cheap Casio keyboards seemingly recorded on a budget of approximately £4.99, and a trumpet sample taken from an Al Bowlly song circa 1932.
