Took 93-year-old Mum to vote. She's registered blind. In a loud voice she said, “I like that you’ve become a screenwriter in your 30s. Some people say you have 0 contacts, couldn’t pick a worse time, and you’ve made a terrible mistake - but they’re just wrong.” A loud cheer went up from other voters

In The Rest Is History’s Horatio Nelson series, you hear lots of mentions of leading Royal Navy historian N.A.M. Rodger. This is a particular thrill for me because, when I was an undergrad, N.A.M. Rodger bellowed, “You are by far the worst student I have ever taught.” No idea why. Marvellous times.
