So here's Ollie tapping away in an internet cafe in Basel (and wondering why the French accent keys don't work in Switzerland of all places). This of course makes a change from my usual whereabouts tapping away under my bed in Köln.
I know Tommo waffles on the train. I'm sure some of you must waffle at work from time to time. Maybe some of you have even more interesting places to waffle. Here you can confess all.
(Do any of you even waffle during the boring bits in concerts? Hopefully not while you're actually on stage.)

Hi Ollie!  Glad you arrived safely  I am whereing nothing. Well, I suppose I am really, but the where is at home so it`s a quiet , understated whereing  Of course there was that `where` incident involving Madge and her Performing Seals on Trombones, but I`d rather not go into that now. Poor woman was most put out. |

# 1 Ollie, can I really open my heart to you?
For those of us with previous experience of the galleys, in weekly rep (viz a new production every Monday), waffling, on-stage, became a way of life if your grasp of the lines was tentative. Literally a voyage of discovery every night. Unravelling the tenuous plot in a ghastly Agatha Christie contrivance, through sheer waffle, this detective occasionally left the audience in the same condition. "Bitched, buggled and bewildered"; cold sweats, even now.
Bws Stanley

Hi Ollie in Basel,
I'm just whering from my home in East Croydon, whilst stricken with some bug, splitting headache and the like, which keeps me away from the joanna. Most of my waffle-whering is from he, but occasionally from a hotel room with wireless access, or occasionally from Cardiff University.

I where upstairs or downstairs here in SE London ollie. I am intrigued by your 'under the bed' waffling... it must be a high one to fit you, a computer and presumably a clarinet or two to while away the times between waffling.  A |

They say travel broadens the mind - but in many cases travel has made the mind not exactly broader, but thicker.

Basel, Where is it? Where is my map? It sounds so exotic. It sounds as exotic as the music I am listening on Hear and now (Gary CARPENTER).
