Day Seven : 30th March 2012 Mark made the first move. Someone was bound to do it sooner or later, but Mark actually took the plunge, and decided that he could do a better job at singing than the Official Entertainment. And boy, are the crowd happy.

  29th March 2012 – evening     I blame my passport. Either that or dark forces have been operating behind the scenes. But most likely it’s my passport.     It starts in the bar, before dinner.
