Well, given that I am a heterosexual male, of course I've been smoking. I have a cold, I've not developed gender/sexuality fluidity.

Yesterday I was awfully miserable and picked up a Douglas Reeman novel. I haven't rewad such a thing since childhood. It was simply brilliant.

He wrote Napoleonic stuff under the pseudonym Alexander Kent. The WWll stuff is what I remembered from childhood, and it's quite lovely. A sort of Poundland Monsarrat. That's harsh, actually, but you get the idea.

Oh, yeah. She's just doubling down on what is clearly a bad bet, bless her. It's amazing to see how cross they get when someone in The Guardian dares to question the sacred orthodoxy.
