All my habits are healthy :shrug:

It is a great read indeed, but actually bettered, I feel, in film form by David Lean. A true masterpiece.

Actually, That's not true H. Women are being shoehorned in all over the gaff and it's just never really scanned, has it ? Listening to women commentate on Football is akin to listening to some pre pubescent 11 year old lad giving it his all on Jim'll fix it ( back in the day ).

The real cruel blow to feminist types must be the fact that broadcasters have gone out of their way to wheel in a succession of miss world bints to anchor things like SSN and other Footy showpieces. No sign of a Clare Balding type smiling across the desk at a bloke, invariably old enough to be her father there eh ?

My dear old school chum James Knight appeared in the original West End stage production of Oliver. He is now, of course, distinguished Labour peer Baron Knight of Weymouth. God only knows how an Old Elthamian ended up throwing in his lot with the socialists.
