This personally was very sad news, my favourite author, and as many tributes have said, much more than just a 'spy novelist', he was a great storyteller and chronicler of post-war Britain, in particular Englishness and the decaying ruling class.


''The rats have taken over the ship''


Fascinating man who led a fascinating life.

Rest In Peace JLC...

Tommy Docherty. One time manager of Manchester United and had an exciting young team in the 70's. Reminded me one one of my favourite matches of that era.

There a programme on Radio 4 tomorrow at 20:00 about his life. I suppose deciding to become an Irish citizen was his best way of showing how much his disapproved of Brexit.

Yep, listened to it, he was definitely giving two fingers to Brexit.

And he was spot on about the difference between patriotism and nationalism...

      "Druid Grove" house in East Dulwich

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm a bit of an architecture geek and I must confess I find it one of the most gimmicky ugly redesigns I've seen in a while. I'm always open to quirky but this is just not nice in any way shape or form.

      Niko the Plumber.

      Another recommendation for Niko. Great communication, top guy, and super reliable and skilled - all at a fair price. Takes a lot of care in what he does and talks you through everything.

      Bitey Fox.

      Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
