I know this game has been out for centuries but I only just got my hands on a friends copy of Black & White. (Yup, thats where Ive dissappared to the last few days – sorry!) It’s totally addictive. I haven’t slept properly for two days and when I do, I dream about my creature licking the villagers until they squeak and watering the houses with the water miracle. I want to take loads of leave and play it for 10 days straight! So I decided to buy it.

While I had the credit card out I also bought Jane Birkin – “Arabesque” (her concert will soon be added to our Brighton Festival reviews) and Peter Gabriel – “Us”.
