 * Comments
 * Peel is excited at the prospect of going to Buckingham Palace to collect his OBE, hopefully from the Queen and "not some down-market duchess or other."
 * John makes comments about Birmingham's lack of musical talent (until recently, anyway) and invites complaints as he isn't getting any mail at the moment.
 * The Aubrey track prompts a reminiscence from JP about the time he worked in Tokyo for three weeks. He considers it "one of the strangest places on the whole of the earth...it seemed at the time anyway to be at least a decade if not two ahead of us both sort of cuturally and technologically, and yet at the same time, there was always a faint smell of drains hanging over the whole area."
