Erm, it’s right here:

Just now waiting for my train home. Thoroughly enjoyed Mark Watson’s warm up show (given the weather warm up is an understatement) it was fab and one of the most accomplished warm ups I’ve seen. I particularly liked the low key start. As we filtered in he was satting (cool new word) at his laptop quietly typing a commentary. Once started properly he has an endearing stage presence and basically meandered around such topics as mortality, fatherhood and telling people off for an extremely funny 60 odd minutes.

Three years ago I had to change my ringtone. . I've got this friend, Richard. He's about my age and we share a similar sense of humour. I've known him for about 15 years, he used to hang about with a guy called Stewart and they were an entertaining couple. I still see Stewart occasionally if he's in the area and these meetings are always enjoyable but it is Rich who always seemed to be more on my wavelength.
