In reply to Adam.

Hi Adam, looks like your comment got caught in the spam trap- apologies for that, I only noticed today.

The book was, indeed, very good, as I mentioned more recently. I look forward to reading your future work.

Insofar as wine goes, I'm with you about the ceremony involved in drinking a good wine in public. In private, of course, drink whatever you want- I'm very partial to good Aussie Shiraz myself, and most Aussie wines have screw-caps or, at best, plastic corks.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out of the next few weeks.

Hi Didact,

Thanks for linking through to me, much appreciated. And I hope you enjoy the book. Let me know what you think of it.

Midknight,

The fifth trait concerns the act of ceremony. Opening a bottle of wine I just use as an example.

OK – I'm not a wine snob though I enjoy wine, so number 5 doesn't matter to me one whit – and not having a corky wine that's gone bad has a value too.

One reason I use a DE razor is I can shave every other day, and still have a closer shave the following day than any electric razor, and several cartridge blades.

Doing so – and switching to DE blades as well – has saved me from a lot of razor bumps while still staying reasonably groomed.

That said, I agree overall.

And if he doesn't add it himself, I'd add a 29th, with credit to Larry Niven regarding "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" – Real men eat whatever the hell they want.
