## Resource

This week, we dissect another traditional folk song, as we meet an aristocrat with terrible navigational skills and an adulterous wife. I tell the story of how, at primary school, I was the leader of a criminal girl gang. We journey back in time 4000 years to experience the world’s first stand up comedy show. A gig in a grammar school takes an unexpectedly dramatic turn. And there’s a desultory ditty about dim sum.
