Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist. When he and his friend and flatmate Charlie are standing at the exact longitude and latitude that defines Argleton, Matt sets in motion a chain of events that will take him places he didn’t know existed… and which perhaps don’t.
Argleton is available on Bandcamp, or you can listen to it here:
From the identification of the Horsehead Nebula to the creation of the computer program, from the development of in vitro fertilisation to the detection of pulsars, A Passion for Science: Stories of Discovery and Invention brings together inspiring stories of how we achieved some of the most important breakthroughs in science and technology.

Every year, on May Day, a young woman is stolen away by the faeries to become their Queen for a year. This year, though, the faeries have bitten off more than they can chew. Shakti Nayar will do whatever it takes to get her own life as a botanist back. As she struggles to work out how to get home, she uncovers Faerie’s dark secret and finds that she is not the only human who needs saving.

I’m glad the prognosis is good Suw, it is not something I would relish having to go through myself.
And seeing more of you, especially with the new sexy-pixie hairdo can’t be a bad thing, can it?

@Mike: *blush* Yeah, gotta show off the new haircut!!
I must admit, the physio’s attitude – very calm, supportive and positive – really has made me much more willing to believe that it’ll sort itself out soon.
Just when C&V and K&M were getting comfortable on my blogroll! But your wrists need rest, of course; an embargo on typing and similar repetitive movement activities is mandatory. Congratulations on addressing the carpal tunnel syndrome at what sounds like an early stage. I have known a couple of people who have worn the gauntlet you displayed, and they came to feel better short of the injections you mentioned. A speedy recuperation to you.
