Shall I complain to someone that the second book has pinched my blog title! :-)

Heh, very good. I'm afraid they'd say it was a well known phrase or saying :-)

I checked on my Netflix DVD subscription and it says I watched it in 2010 and gave it three stars. That's kind of the way I remember it - good, but not great. I really must read more MacIntyre and I probably told you that before. What a good niche he has found for himself. I really love all his topics. I'll look into the Kinsey books. I've been reading more "coz(s)ies" this year.

I remember the film as so-so but it was a great success at the time. It's still a good story. I admire Ben Macintyre; I don't know how he finds time to write so much when it's all so carefully researched.

The Kinsey book is welcome light relief at the moment!

I am pleased that you enjoyed Lady Hardcastle's adventures with her 'tiny servant'. I bought the first three in the series from The Works on their £5 deal and am now waiting for book 4 to be on the Kindle for 99p.

Coo, lucky you!

I'm really cross because I was going to buy the second book for the Kindle and I'd seen it was 99p. Overnight it went up to £3.98! No thanks.
