RIP Miles Kington

[matgb]

My paper of choice for the best part of 15 years was The Independent, started getting it when I was 17 and took GCSE Politics to go alongside my A Levels. I got in trouble in a politics class once for sneakily reading Miles Kington's column when I was suppoed to be debating something

One of the benefits of the recent redesign of The Independent's website is that you can now read a whole year of Miles Kington's articles for the Indy. (Literally a year, so I suspect the one from the 1st Feb 2007 will drop off tomorrow.)

Plus, I've posted an extract from Let's Parler Franglais on my LJ.

That's cool, thanks. So they're only open up for a year afterwards? Silly fules, someone needs to point them at the long tail.

"The small point that I was winning the debate anyway was only a little lost on the teacher"

That's not the point though, is it? You were meant to be debating, not reading the paper! I feel obliged to stick up for your long suffering teacher here. What did you get in your GCSE politics then, clever clogs?:)

I got a B, one of my better GCSE results, and I messed up the coursework else it'd have been better. So ner ;-)

The point was I was able to do both at the same time. And it was a good column. And it was 16 years ago.

Heh, in ten days, it'll be 16 years since you dumped me. And in 14 days it's a year since I met Jennie. Weird huh?
