Ps. I generally like his books and his views can be insightful and thought provoking (given his experience in a number of fields). Don’t always agree and sometimes find myself exasperated with the occasional […]

How long does it take the editor to take out all of the “you know what I mean” from the audio book readings?

On the Super Deluxe Edition website in one of the posts there are two discount codes listed. At the time of writing they can BOTH be used together on the NY site. I took the plunge and got at £267 of your English […]

Interview lasted 3m 38s. She was introduced as former PM and throughout inter view as Prime Minister (consistent with former presidents who are always referred to as President) She didn’t promote pork or cheese […]

Liz Truss about to appear on Fox News (Neil Cavuto one of their more reasonable hosts). Could be interesting. See how they introduce her …. “Failed UK PM …..”. I think not. Lucrative gig I imagine for someone […]

I can understand that although my list didn’t follow)

Perhaps not energy but Late Night Shopping (in various mixes by David Sylvian – unsettling to listen to at 1am in the dark)

DH,s linguistic tic of throwing in “and so forth” at the end of a sentence to provide spurious weight to a point (without of course having to supply any further substance). A trait he shares with the evil Mark […]
