Spike Milligan was one of the best known and influential comedians post-war in the UK. During the 1970s and 80s he published a set of seven war diaries detailing his time in action in North Africa and Italy and the start of his entertainment career after being demobbed. Today's post, a review of the second book in the series - 'Rommel?' 'Gunner Who?' is over on Pattinase as part of the Forgotten Friday project.Up in Belfast today at the Irish-Scottish Forum for Spatial Planning and writing this in the Lanyon Building at Queen's University of Belfast, one of the signature of buildings of Northern Ireland. I worked in Queens between 1996 and 98 and
it's interesting to be back. I'm involved a number of cross-border projects relating to spatial data and planning issues and I travel up to the North usually once a month, but its quite a while since I've been to the university. I have a soft spot for Belfast, but I don't miss Queen's politics in the slightest!
