  4. I thank my family, my agent and, above all, Ian Kershaw whose biography of the Austrian Corporal I read about a year ago.

    As for my new rank, presumably I get to reach for my revolver whenever I hear the word "culture"? It'll be carnage here next month during the Edinburgh Festival...

  5. Too many things get posted here that posts roll down the list really quickly - also the Jews who run my company have been making me work - the swines... Oooopps!

    Actually I did meet David Irving once - it struck me that he was really enjoying being notorious..

    I am off to annexe the Sudetenland - anyone care to join me??
