I have a new hero. He was on this weeks Late Night Review Show and they were talking about the Henry Moore/Francis Bacon exhibition that's on. Now, I like modern art...I get Rothko, Pollock and Picasso et al but Francis Bacons' work, to my unclultured eye, just looks banal and pointless. As I was thinking that to myself Mr Delingpole said exactly the same smile. Which made me feel very smug and happy [an Emperors New Clothes Moment]. As a rather geeky looking person 'James' [sigh] has replaced Andrew Marr in my affections. He writes for The Telegraph; does anyone read his stuff? I'm sure Andrew Marr won't lose sleep over being replaced in my affections....

Delingpole is a good writer. I even think so when I don't agree with him. I like his sock it to 'em, logical style.

...unclultured..I think I've invented a new word...confused. Hope 'James' doesn't read it..he wouldn't be impressed. He doesn't hold back ['stupid illiterate woman] he'd say]
