Perfect

Reading material for a rainy bank holiday, that is. And for once there was no intended political statement (Although if it's true how can they remove my favorite book from the curriculum. Without this I would have got a rubbish grade at O-level.).

One blipper will understand that I'm re-reading it for quotes. And because I haven't read it in 5 years. And because it's brilliant. Oh and the author's name strikes a chord too.

I'd forgotten that I'd also had the insides of the book signed at the end of 5th year and sixth form. To précis, I

(a) used to bellow instructions on badminton courts
(b) famously got on a wrong train in Birmingham after open days in Oxford meaning we spent the night in the guards' room at Peterborough station
(c) didn't need any luck
(d) was going to be famous
(e) was going to end up in Westminster.

Well (a) and (b) won't surprise anyone who knows me now although I wasn't even on the school trip that resulted in even bigger train disasters despite what's written. The others are just amusing but it's a good job I'm not having one of my "Why haven't I done more with my life?" days.

If I've time later I'll catch up on blip including crazy plans to buy a slight mess of a house in France. For now though, my favorite book which makes me very content indeed.
