He's just written a great book about fake ears and the occult in the early 20th century.
F-A-K-I-R-S.
Holy men of the electromagnetic age, as he puts it, right?
I see that point, but my son thinks the apple has fallen a very long way from the tree.
Because he thinks I work on all those boring old Greeks and Romans.
He is working on the culture of the Arabic world.
He teaches Arabic.
He's interested in theatre of the early 20th century, Arabic feminism, and he thinks it is a million miles from the Greeks and Romans.
If he were here, that's what he'd say.
Then there's the question...
I had these two large glasses of wine.
Am I going to?
Am I going to crack on?
And what we have at home, because I've been trying to be a bit abstemious recently, just because I think it's good to take time off.
Yeah.
But we've got some of those, you know, those little bottles of wine you can buy in supermarkets, which are kind of one big glass.
We started to buy them because there's something terrible.
Sorry, this program is going to make me sound like a complete alky and I promise you, far from it.
You know what, I mean, there's something like if you think, oh, I'll just open a bottle of wine, I'll just have a glass and put it back in the fridge.
Terribly easy to say, oh, I'll just have another glass.
