Eeyore’s Gloomy Place

Not, as you might have expected, a song lyric or a poem (though it is a song, and it is relevant).
I’m toying doing something different with Lightpath; in particular, renaming it to garytaylor LLP. I already have this domain name of course, and the only other Gary Taylor registered at Companies House, Gary Taylor Ltd is [...]

Last week, I sent in a PRide Award entry on behalf of Metro. I also sent one in for the Ladies.
