Personally, I still rate Goldings and Fuggles very highly but that's probably because I'm a Kentish Man (as opposed to a Man of Kent).
If you wuz brung up in East Kent then surely you be a Man of Kent (like me). Anyway, Goldings and Fuggle rool ok.
There's no vibrations, but wait.

And I'm a woman of Kent. I think. East of the Medway isn't it? (I go by the Pub in Canterbury, which may not be correct).

I still have plenty of family down there. My nan and grandad lived in all hallows on sea for a while, on the isle of grain. I can still remember visiting and walking down the old railway line.

Someone at work has the rather wonderful name of 'Tiffany Fang'

I wonder if she knows Ian's librarian.

That's positively awesome, I'd kill for a name like that.

I'll ask Jess if she knows her, though strictly speaking she's not a traditional vampire, and she's the only undead librarian that I know. There are live librarians though not nearly as much fun.

Mind you, there used to a BJ Queen aboard one of the overseas motherships. Called herself BJ too.

Many people tried to persuade BJ to revert to Billie-Jean and failed. She was one of the very churchy Americans and I expect she'd think a blowjob was something you had done at the hairdressers.

Well that was until one my German colleagues who, upon first introduction, uttered the magic phrase 'BJ? Like oral sex?' The diplomatic corps is over there.

I didn't actually know her, but I was aware of an Emma Dale where I used to work attend in Brum.

Born in West Kent, moved East when I was 13. Although I was born only just west of the Medway (about half a mile), so very much a borderline case.

Apparently, "Thought Leader" is a genuine job title, not just a product of ian's fervid (or is that fetid?) imagination.

I got a notification today from Gorkana of a vacancy in a thought leadership role. Tempted to apply too, though I suspect my hair isn't tidy enough.
