Sunday Stuff
A few small things that I had forgotten to mention.First, regular readers may remember last year I had the unfortunate experience of driving all the way to Lille for an exhibition of Ruben's paintings, only to find out that my companion had got the year wrong, and we were a year too earlier. Luckily in late July this year on the way back from holiday to Boulogne I found myself near Lille, so I popped in again to see the exhibition. Unfortunately after I had paid for the hotel I found out it had ended the previous month. Anyway not so bad as (a review in today's Telegraph reminded me, hence this rather warying anecdote) Lille is a very nice city, full of smart shops, bars, restaurants and things to see. I would recommend for a weekend if you want to go to a foreign city, but don't want to travel very far (it's only 60 miles from the Channel ports).
Second, it has long been a debating point of the Right that political correctness is all about closing down debates. They might have a point, and if so this is political correctness gone mad (LA Times registration required, or go to www.bugmenot.com) .
Third, I feel it is order to congratulate Tim Henman on his US open semi-final placing. He didn't win, but then again no British man has won a US open semi-final since Bunny Austin in 1937, and no British man has won a Grand Slam since 1936.
