Phil and I have been loading up our iPods in preparation for next week.
We’re more or less agreed on music selection: Madness, Madredeus, Salif Keita, Bob Marley, and Kraftwerk. Where we differ is on our choice of books and films. He’s going for Scooby Doo and the Beano. I’m leaning more towards West Wing + All the President’s Men.

Good luck all.
Nice one, I’ll check it out!
