It's not because I wouldn't. And it’s not because I shouldn't. And, baby, you should know, it's not because I couldn't. It's only because I'm the laziest girl in town.
"Both Lenman’s and Bramble’s contributions to the book are excellent: thought-provoking, innovative and engaging. In light of these virtues, I highly recommend the book!
Very nice review by Olle Blomberg.

Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom from consequences. That is absolutely true. Something else that is true is that if that is your favourite saying about freedom of speech, it's a very safe bet that freedom of speech is not a thing you really give a toss about.

Books by Lenman are like the proverbial number 52 bus. You wait for ever and ever, then two come along at once.

微雨夜行
漠漠秋云起
稍稍夜寒生
但觉衣裳湿
无点亦无声

Night Stroll in a Fine Rain
Still autumn night, high cloud.
It is a little cold now.
My clothes are getting wet.
The falling rain makes no sound.

凉州詞
葡萄美酒夜光杯，
欲飲琵琶馬上催。
醉臥沙場君莫笑，
古來征戰幾人回？
王翰
A Song of Liangzhou
The wine cups sparkle in the night. Bring more!
The luteplayer sits on horseback urging us on.
Don’t mock us lying on the sandy ground drunk.
How many soldiers ever make it home?

春眠不覺曉，
處處聞啼鳥。

Spring Daybreak
I was asleep and missed the spring sunrise,
This morning full of the singing of birds.
The night was loud with wind and rain. The storm
Left who can say how many broken flowers.

I'm doing another Philosophy at the Showroom film + little talk gig this week. The talk will probably be a bit rubbish but the film is ever so good. So be sure to come!
