Not to be picky, but isn't "mad Englishman" a tad redundant?  ;)

I believe that is why Noel Coward specified "Mad dogs and Englishmen." ;)

Well, it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world so I suppose so. Would 'demented' be more appropriate??

Not a very good book ...





E! ... Hotel was based on the Royal Orleans hotel (I've stayed there many times when it was still the Royal Orleans) which is now part of the Omni chain but you might already be aware of it.

I read Treasure Island recently while out in the BVI's and was on the island that is said to have been the inspiration/model for the titular Treasure Island, Scrubb Island I think it's called? Anyway, that was definitely the ideal environment to read that book.

I just read Gnelfs, an old book I bought on Amazon for four bucks. It combines children's characters gone wrong, demon summoning and a descent into Hell. Kind of a weird read.
