    30 years ago today I was finalising plans for a trip to Glasgow Royal Infirmary (for wotk) - I eventually went early in the new year and passed the devastation at Loclerbie, a shocking and moving sight - remembering the 270 - 30 years ago today

      I was in Scotland, getting up early to catch a train from Leuchars. Still very vivid memories of that morning, as the news came in.

    Down the close, darkening lanes they sang their way To the siding-shed, And lined the train with faces grimly gay. Their breasts were stuck all white with wreath and spray As men’s are, dead. Dull porters watched them, and a casual tramp Stood staring hard, Sorry to miss them from the upland camp. Then, unmoved, signals nodded, and a lamp Winked to the guard. - 100 years ago today Wilfred Owen was killed at the Sambre–Oise Canal

      You do know you pay the equivalent of an extra album for the boxed set cardboard box? I might get remastered vinyl of "The Kick Inside" and "Lionheart" to replace my originals. £2.50 a disk cheaper than in the boxed set.

      An awful day. Well posted, beast. What was worse was the actions of some in authority afterwards.
