Randomly wandered past his theatre at the Acropolis today while setting a new speed record for getting to the top and back because it was freezing out there. Judging by the damage, the last show didn't go down too well!

On the subject of short podgy bald blokes with delusions of grandeur who can't keep their hands in their pockets, i've been looking for this book by Charles Rivers Editors. Its all about the lessons of history and i'm keen to see if there is anything we could learn that might be helpful..

I'm looking for this book (by Chrles Rivers Editors) about a couple of short podgy bald blokes who couldnt keep their hands in their pockets. Apparently its quite good on the lessons of history, should be interesting to find out what they are and whether we should be worried....
