  BOTD 1957 - the saviour of my turbulent teen years and beyond.  Marc Almond. And if you want to know why you can find out here .

Been a wee bit quiet of late, did a speech at the city chambers (got called 'inspirational' which was nice) and - more importantly - was away in London recording a commentary  for a short film regarding Autism in a medical setting from the 1950s so taken some time out to decompress.
