9721/21640I managed to toss off a quick Newsround (not a euphemism) before heading into town to do some podcasts.Ally was in ferocious form remembering old music hall songs and came up with a strange ditty about dirty, dirty pigeons. I don't know how he dredges them up. They certainly surprise me. Later I was sitting in Pret a Manger waiting for my slot at the Podcast Room when I became aware of something under my table. It was a dirty, dirty pigeon. What was he doing inside? And why had he come to peck at the ground around my feet?
