More than a Wet Bob

Here are ten things I didn’t know about Lord Desborough.

Arma Pacis Fulcra

Was it really forty-five years ago; the Silver Jubilee?

Call Me Ken

I have ordered A Tenured Professor, published 1990. It has one, I think only one, similarity to Lucky Jim.

A Cautionary Tale

I ordered a book from Adelaide Booksellers, yes, in Adelaide, on 9th January.

A Night at the Savile

Last week I was invited to the Savile to hear Simon Heffer talk about Chips Channon’s diaries, of which he has edited two volumes with one more due in September.

More Chips

Chips Channon’s misjudgements about the course of the war and politics make good reading.

Shooting Before The Twelfth

Editing Chips’s diaries is a huge undertaking. Not surprisingly there are a few mistakes.

A Different Timbre

Here is Chips striking a different note.

Rations

Charles Orwin raises many good questions in his comment yesterday.

Virginia Cowles describes another visit to the front.
