		<description><![CDATA[Each time I traversed Long Lane in Bermondsey, a defunct pub would catch my eye. Simon The Tanner, it was called: its petrol-blue frontage and distinctive red pub sign suggesting it may once have been a Shepherd Neame house. I often wondered what it might have been like to visit: until, one day, without fanfare, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I have seen lots of debate on whether craft beer dispensed by keg should automatically be considered less superior to cask beer. As a result, I&#8217;ve been trying to clarify my own opinions on the matter. This blog post attempts to analyse the issue from my point of view. I have not fully formulated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not often I get overtly political in this blog, but perhaps it&#8217;s time to try something a bit different. What I&#8217;m going to do is sketch out a rough-and-ready policy idea. It&#8217;s not terribly well-considered or in-depth, but that&#8217;s not the aim: I&#8217;m not a political expert, much less a policy wonk. This blog [...]]]></description>

I am not the first to note that the standard of commentary has been less than stellar during this tournament; so when I stumbled across a listing for the somewhat [...]]]></description>

Dear Sir/Madam, I am emailing with regard to the proposed closure of BBC 6 Music. Before I continue, I should point out that I am not one of the knee-jerk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the General Election campaign in full swing, I decided that I ought to read the parties&#8217; manifestos. And I&#8217;ve got to be honest with you: they&#8217;re pretty heavy-going. In this article, I have attempted to summarise the parties&#8217; manifestos somewhat more succinctly: as word-clouds. You&#8217;re probably familiar with the concept, but if you&#8217;re not, [...]]]></description>

I posted in response to a discussion as to whether, in light of the Munto Finance fiasco, Notts could be considered to have cheated their way to the upper echelons of the League Two table.

But that&#8217;s enough to persuade me to publish another of my linguistic efforts; so here goes. Again, this was written back in 2004. And, before long, you&#8217;ll probably notice a pattern emerging in my work. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a confession to make. I occasionally write poetry. I mean, very occasionally. And not to a particularly high standard. But there&#8217;s something therapeutic about the process nonetheless. I rarely share my poems with anyone. But here&#8217;s something I knocked together back in 2004. Let me know what you think, by tweeting me: I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

Grantland Rice&#8217;s poem Alumnus Football eloquently &#8211; if perhaps a little cloyingly &#8211; uses an extended sporting metaphor to convey a more general philosophy towards life.
