    Watched thon OJ Simpson thing on the beeb last night. A truly masterful piece of

    documentary work but I nearly switched off in disgust when some damn fúckin yankee stole, pretty much verbatim, Bill Shankly's bon mot about football be more important than life or death. And then he grinned smugly as if it were his, the hideous ****.

    Was it OJ: Made in America?

    If so, it was utterly brilliant.

    I knew about him in the sense that I knew he was famous in America and had been a football star.

    I was shocked hearing some sports reporter chappy (Howard Cosell?) interviewing him and using the word 'meretricious'.

    I believe he was a basketball (baseball?) player who caught the bad AIDS.

    I know little or nothing of Americans as a matter of principle. Naturally.
