So it’s a bit stuffy in the office today and I shunt open the medieval window that secretes less illumination than Macaulay Culkin does soberness. Isn’t grey wonderful? Look at all those shades of grey now. Matted grey. Flat grey. Grey grey. We might as well drown in a pool of greyness, in a bout...
