Cock and Bull

Had a meeting yesterday with a potential freelance client who started talking about 'designed sustainability' in terms of something being designed for deliberate re-use in another realm once its intial purpose has worn out. Had to use extreme self discipline to avoid shifting the conversation onto the Droitwich Fix. Don't think that would have impressed him. Or maybe it would. Perhaps he already knows of it and was also exercising similar self-discipline and restraint, falsely believing it to be for my benefit.
nb. An abundance of non-case related activity has profoundly slowed things on this branch of the investigative tree. Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon. Drawing the net in now anyway, linking things up, discarding irrelevances.

nb. I contacted the 'cock & bull story association' re: The Case, as i am visiting their town of operation this weekend. See correspondence below...

Hi, I am coming to Stony Stratford in a couple of weeks to visit my girlfriend's sister and came across your site while researching the area. The idea of the cock and bull story has great appeal for me. In fact, I am currently researching a very genuine cock and bull story with some members of a mysterious organisation known as 'The Skip Intro Collective'. If you are interested in reading the "story", it is currently being published as a blog which can be found here. [...] I hope you find this to be of interest and amusement. Thanks,

Hi, Interesting ... and weird! [...] I'm happy to put you on the mailing list for future issues of the newsletter, although you will get a fair bit of guff about Stony Stratford.
Check www.stonystratford.gov.uk for some of the music and arts events happening here. If there's music on at The White Horse you can expect to find me having a listen and a beer or two.
There is a YouTube feature on the origins oif the Cock & Bull Story -www.primustempus.com - which suppports the Stony Stratford claim.
As you have some fascination for doughnuts you might like to track down Ivor Cutler singing "A Doughnut in my Hand".
Cheers.
