^ Thanks for the thought HW, much appreciated.
I do think about this a lot, although won't go on about it seeing as I am a meat eater. The thing is... I care passionately about animal welfare and spend a lot of time and money trying to save these poor dogs around here... and yet I eat meat. There is an obvious paradox that lingers in the back of my mind.
I spend a lot of time listening to the radio at the moment and recently there was a very interesting 'book of the week' reviewed on BBC Radio 4... so interesting in fact that I ordered it from Asia Books. In some ways I wish I hadn't.
I'll not preach - how can I - but this is proving to be a very thought provoking read. Give it a try if you can pry yourself away from the cricket.
But anyway, I'll try and catch myself a nice pla nin tonight and see if I can do what's required.
