* Hello, Mum!
† He’s at that sort of age, Debbi! He’s taller than I am! Oh, Trevor left you a footnote, yesterday: he’s suggesting that The Canterbury Tales are a good read.
‡ What on Earth saw 1984 and The Invisible Man banned, Trevor? Oh, hang on, 1984’s pro-communist … ! I know Flowers for Algernon gets challenged, a lot. Which is a shame: it’s gorgeous.
