I intend, before the endgame looms, to die sitting in a chair in my own garden with a glass of brandy in my hand and Thomas Tallis on the iPod. Oh, and since this is England, I had better add, 'If wet, in the library.' Who could say that this is bad? ↗

If Thomas Jefferson had heard us, he probably would have said, 'We shouldn't have free speech.' ↗
