I went to look in Smiths to see what this issue looked like on the stand, only to find it totally hidden behind the other mags. So I moved it to the front. :) Looks pretty striking. but I think the red should have been a bit brighter to make it pop out of the stand more.
ReplyDelete"Sir Alan Beith is interviewed about his memoirs."
ReplyDeleteHow DARE someone as defiantly devoid of interest as Alan "Little Alan" Beith write his memoirs?
He is so colourless, he is regarded as a non-entity even within his non-event of a party. To paraphrase Michael Heseltine, if he looks like a railway porter, sounds like a railway porter and wags his tail like a railway porter, then he is a railway porter, not an international statesman who hides his light beneath a bushel.
Truly, he could bore the buzzards off a dustcart.
The publishers might just as well have chopped down a couple of trees and decanted them into a remainder bin and saved him the bother of putting his mind-curdlingly dreary recollections down on paper. Silly little man.
What an outrage. What are they called, these memoirs, "My Struggle"?
Clear off, Alan Beith, you waste of space.
