Yeah, I read that book and the one before or after. His name is Patrick Leigh Fermor (or something like that) and in 1932 he walked from Holland to the Black Sea through Germany, Austria and Hungary. Then the war happened and that old world vanished.
I was Declan. And yes, there used to be life on the Politics Board once. I don't know why people don't want to talk about it. Politics is so interesting, especially recently. In the broadest sense. Look at how the GFC has panned out. And Loyd Blankfein when, asked about bonuses after the bailout, said that Goldman Sachs (or whoever it was) was 'doing God's work'. Classic.
