That interview was very interesting. Particularly what he had to say about his parents. Thank you.
Hi, I missed the first ten minutes of this fascinating dialogue between JGB and Amis, does anyone know where I can download it to listen to the whole thing from somewhere?
I seem unable to get the beebs iplayer plugin to work properly, but then its a ramshackle PC
thanks in anticipation
Yeah, it’s a good one. I’ll send you a copy, Anthony…remind me if you haven’t heard from me in a few days (have to convert it to mp3 first).
