I've got pie but I'm not a pion

Have got the Philip Hensher novel about the clerks of the House Of Commons from the library from its central store, for the 85p reservation fee. Do not think I am going to bother any more with it it suffers from
a) as far as I can see having exactly the same characters as the other Philip Hensher novel I read described in exactly the same way (figuratively not literally, it is not a prequel)
b) and the funeral described was very much like the wedding in the other one
c) and as I have said before, decades of SF, fandom, geekdom have made me so jaded that a mild sex scandal amongst the great and good of London doesn't really interest me. Unless there are furries at the very least, I don't want to know.

Perhaps I called 5 Live a national disgrace too many times. But maybe you can never call 5 Live a national disgrace too many times. I also said that I paid hmmmph for a car DAB radio and if I had known that 5 Live and the World Service were going to go down hill and that they were going to get Shaun Keaveny to do the 6 Music breakfast show I would have saved my money.
Anyway, the embittered crank segment of the population needs to have its voice heard, too.
