Quote of the day and Edna at the V&A

    Michael Deacon's parliamentary sketch columns always make me laugh, and his most recent one included a bit which tickled me particularly, though it may mystify non-UK readers:

“Me father were a Regius Professor o’ English Literature, an’ his father before him. Any son o’ mine will be a Regius Professor o’ English Literature, an’ all. It’s man’s work, is discussin’ issues o’ gender representation in t’works o’ Virginia Woolf."

    To put it in context you can read the full piece here.

    We talked recently about Edna O'Brien, and London readers - if they can grab a ticket without delay - may like to go and here her talking about her life at the V&A on Tuesday, 6th. November.
