Agree with you re Leibniz, but I think Jaffa Cakes trump them all.<BR/><BR/>DH: I blame Thatcher.<BR/><BR/>Anthony: I'm really surprised that Morley isn't blogging. Unless he's pretending to be Penman. I still think they pretty much invented the low culture for highbrows notion that Burchill and Young used as the basis for The Modern Review.<BR/><BR/>Doc: Fig rolls... now they're a strange beast, because they should be really dry and unappetising, but they're not at all. As Anthony points out, they ncessitate the use of the word 'maw'.

Preferably enjoyed straight from the fridge, with Earl Grey tea, while playing Tomb Raider 3. <BR/><BR/>Isn't your chum Paul Morley terribly fond of personalising his journalistic accounts of things? Or was that just that one ludicrously self-referential piece I read in the OMM in which he claimed to have invented Joy Division, the Smiths and (for all I know) Mick Hucknall?patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.com
