Unaccountably, the compilation omits Mrs T's "I fight on; I fight to win" moment.

That turned out to be a work of fiction too. :-(

I must dig out my copy of Dead Poets Society. Blinding film.

Reading between ouzos

Random books from my shelves

The nauseatingly self-congratulatory bit:
some heavily edited testimonials

"The glorious 'Mr Eugenides' who continues to strike an annoyingly good balance between informed and concise political observations and hilarious leftfield posts on whatever takes his fancy."
(Liam Murray, 'Total Politics Guide to Blogging 2008')
"One of the most reliable sources of scathing rebuttal to the left-wing media... has become known for its humorous but biting style - his regular verbal assault on Labour ministers has quite a reputation."
(Conservative Home)
"We like Mr Eugenides: we highly recommend adding him to your blogroll... Go and read; it is absolutely the most glorious stuff!"
(Devil's Kitchen)
"Oh boy, I think reading you and Devil's Kitchen is going to damage my psyche. What a joy" (Dr Crippen)
"There's something about well-established blogs which make them ooze with confidence and sophistication. We think Mr Eugenides has these qualities in abundance."
(politics.co.uk)
"A widely acknowledged political genius of the first order - still he finds time to visit Greece, sink a pint or two and take on the idiots who purport to govern our fair land...
Mr. E is pure class."
(James Higham)
"There really is no purpose to be served by following humbly in the wake of the genius of Mr Eugenides... Why seek to improve on perfection when one knows in advance that one will fail?"
(Ministry of Truth)
"My favorite Anglo rage boy... the best apoplectic Brit blogger"
(Michael Weiss, 'Jewcy.com')
"With men like Mr. Eugenides in such fine fruit-flinging form, perhaps there’s hope yet for our Cousins Across The Pond. "
(Kim Du Toit)
"I rather enjoyed the retort of the blogger known as Mr Eugenides" (Dominic Lawson, 'Independent')
"It is not only on the Guardian's own Comment is free site that women are singled out for belittling comments - rather, this seems to be routine treatment from contributors who learned all they know from political weblogs such as Mr Eugenides"
(Catherine Bennett, 'Guardian')
"...a particularly obnoxious sub-species of homo blogiens."
(Jura Watchmaker)
"Get a life"
(Neil Williams, Respect)
