By the way, how do you get your messages to show up on your wall and mine? Wish I could make that work. Makes e-conversations much easier to follow ...

In answer to your question, last year I described le Barclay:

"Then it was off to the bar, where the inimitable Alex Barclay (who isn't actually a man) made her usual dramatic appearance, telling everyone they looked gorgeous in a ninety mile an hour Southern Irish accent. Alex tends to create her own event horizon, frenetic energy building up to critical mass until it implodes into a gravitational well that pulls in men for miles around. Shameless hussy that she is."

She denied everything afterwards of course...

Thanks for the nice words about the article, by the way ... Imagine my delight when Kernick really did say those words - and I had my notebook handy!
