Lenny dilemma
Leonard Cohen, a singer-songwriter who is commonly regarded as gloomy but is, in fact, incredibly witty, plays the NEC tomorrow night and I'll be there singing along.
But that presents a problem for someone as greedy as me: when, where and what will I eat before the show?
My wife and I aim to be there by about 7pm so cooking at home would be difficult and I never like to rush a restaurant meal. Plus anything I've ever eaten at the NEC hasn't exactly set my taste buds tingling with delight.
How different these considerations are from the days when I'd have been happy with a couple of pints and a dodgy burger before a gig.
But times change.
I wonder whether Lenny would agree to play Simpson's next time he wants to come to Brum?

Food snob.
Spot the pseud alert.
Burgers are acceptable, BurgerBoy. But they have to be home-made, topped with tomato, mozzarella and anchovy fillets then grilled over charcoal. Nothing pretentious there...
