[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] It’s been an ever so slightly busy week!! A day of interviews in each of London, Manchester and Birmingham, followed eventually by a well deserved day of rest.

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] There are few paths that are as oft trodden as the sidewalk of Memory Lane. Of course, it has different connotations for all of us, and in most cases is a long road with curves aplenty, and the ability to haunt and inspire in equal dosage.
I have ...

[show_avatar email=Rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I ‘overheard’ a conversation on Twitter this evening, in which the extremely gifted Argentinian, David Nalbandian, was described as the best tennis player never to have won a Grand Slam tournament.

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] To describe the last few days as testing would be literal in more ways than one. I have after all spent the last 3 days at the 2nd Npower Test Match between England and Pakistan at Edgbaston, whilst my emotional equilibrium has been examined to its limits ...

[show_avatar email=rohan@hetoreahamstring.me.uk align=left] I watched 2 films at various points this evening, both portraits of political figures, leaders if you like. However, history will leave future generations with very contrasting opinions of Bantu Stephen Biko and Idi Amin Dada Oumee.
