If The Manolo likes to read about The Food, he should check out “Near a Thousand Tables: A History of Food” by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto - a fascinating compendium about food.

And I ditto this thought: “The Steingarten is a buffoning, self-congratulating idiot.”

Mais oui!

Just telling us, for example, "I'm listening to The Pogues" is a bit enigmatic since "listening to" doesn't automatically mean enjoying. I write this as someone who takes your opinions seriously. I'm presently reading -- and enjoying -- "Nine Tailors" because you wrote persuasively in Media Galore about how much you liked it. And, yes, I'd like to have a butler like Bunter, too. Maybe our brave new century will produce cheap affordable Bunter robots........ I wish you’d continue with Media Galore.

This very time last year I was sitting at my laptop in sunny Scotland slogging away on my dissertation on the role of food in comntemporary women's writing! Most of the stuff you recommend this week I didn't actually read but seems so relevant, nad might have got me a better grade too...sob! I can’t believe you chose this subject!

Unfortunately, the Shane McGowan had the affliction with the alchohol, and was unceremoniuosly dropped from the band. I remember his performance on the Saturday Nite Live. I must admit the the "Fairytale of New York" is my favorite Pogues song. Unfortunately, the Kirsty MacColl passed away from the drowning. With such abundant good taste on display from The Manolo, I must rethink my feelings about the Hasselhof The Manolo likes The Pogues!!!!
