On holiday for a couple of weeks

So I have just received some light summer reading from Amazon: -









"The Three Musketeers. Preface. In which it is established that, despite their names ending in -OS and -IS, the heroes of the story we shall have the honour of telling our readers are in no way mythological".


"1. If you're walking upstairs with a woman, walk behind her (in case she falls).

2. Walk in front of her when walking down, for the same reason.

3. Regular door: she goes first. Revolving door: you do. "


"It was Hitler's boast that the Third Reich would last a thousand years. Instead it lasted only twelve. But into its short life was packed the most cataclysmic series of events that Western civilisation has ever known."
