Slightly diminished book: Moderate Expectations.

Wow! Apparently Eddington was a 'satirical comedy'. Who knew?!

Took me a moment but that's very funny

Wow! Stunning! Please keep 'em coming!

Tainted texts, then?

Oh God! The girl is the mother, before all the hope's been beaten out of her.

Sadly no playing – it was all highly theoretical!

Should have explained, most of us were recent undergraduates; he must have been mid 40s and was doing the course purely out of intellectual curiosity. When I asked him what he did for a living he said he was a graphic designer – I only became aware of who he was after his death was announced.

Met Cardew in 1981 when we were both students on an M Mus Theory and Analysis course at King's Coll London. At the time, I had no idea who he was. He was unfailingly modest and courteous. We were all totally shocked when we heard that he had died.

raise

Barely worth responding to, but insane; young people don't have the experience/knowledge to vote, and their parents would in no meaningful sense vote as "the representative of the child" –– they'd just vote in accordance with their own particular prejudice. Personally I'd raised the voting age to 25

So parents get two – or more – votes. Great, well done John!
