Anyone a fondness for Unicum, the great national drink of Hungary? A friend has just bought me a bottle and after a few glasses of Hungary's 'national accelerator' even the Sunday Telegraph -- complete with Anne Applelbaum's sadness that people on the 'net aren't arrested for criticizing President Bush and one letter writer's wish that the security services would try to bring down the government -- seems palatable.

I spent the day at the East of England show, which if you know it is probably one of only a few places in Britain where you could overhear a couple walking past a demonstration of the art of horseshoeing saying 'Take their number down George, we'll get our lot done in the morning'.

Well...Unicum!
