Are you sure it wasn't just the White Book volumes one *and* two?

Great left arm swing bowler who competed with Richie Benaud as to who could wear his shirt with the most buttons undone!

Thanks for making this free to view. It is so important. Your wise words to only rely on source materials should be heeded by everyone. Some "commentators" are expressing unwise opinions that are based on blind prayers.

When I went I was surprised to find that the sandwiches were still frozen! Hope you fared better. Didn't spoil the occasion for us though.

Thanks for writing this Joshua. Very moving about an important figure that I had the pleasure of meeting on a number of occasions. Taken far too soon and would have continued to make an invaluable contribution in the House of Lords.

Her father was a tyrant surgeon. My late mother was his theatre sister, who betraying her Yorkshire origins, gave as good as she got!

Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Good question Adam. I have been watching CNN coverage. They are gobsmacked. Now watching live podcast of Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart. Interesting analysis.

When Morrissey came on I had to turn it off I'm afraid. Is there any artist who has ever been so overrated? I would rather listen to the Arthur Millard and Hilda Baker version of "You're the one that I want"...
