I think I shall have to step away from the Lord Peter Yahoo group for a while, because it is bringing out my inner Nasty Person in spades. I dind't even know I had an inner Nasty Person until I joined the group - I thought I was all charm and consideration and sweet, sweet reasonableness - but it turns out I was labouring under a misapprehension and in fact I enjoy nothing more than tearing someone else's throat out in the cut and thrust of what passes for debate. Except I don't, not really. So before I make a complete Helen Denver of myself, I think voluntary retirement is the route to go.

I see Gordon Brown apologised to Alan Turing (and kindly sent me an e-mail to let me know about it). I think that's the first petition I've ever signed that's actually had an effect. And jolly fast, too.
