Simone De Beavoir

er, which bits of her?

The eiderdowny bits I hope.

Must be a dead bore, since she's bin passed it for donkey's...

...meant 'past it' of course. Serves me right for trying to be clever...

...but her novels are fantastic....she came to stay is a brilliant acount of jelaousy among intellectuals.......now I'm reading 'All Men Are Mortal'.....

I know, Marcus, I was just being facetious. I'm really very partial to a bit of Simone.
