Can't resist sharing a limerick I wrote once:

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche
Is known as a radical tietzsche
Maybe a nihilist
Perhaps existentialist
But his moustache his most prominent fietzsche.

I know I will enjoy this last episode. But there'll be a lot of sadness too: a similar feeling to the death of George Macdonald Fraser and the conclusion of the Flashman series, when there was still so much to say. My life will be poorer for the end of something that has brought it so much pleasure.

I'd have defended myself quite vigorously: posting a half-finished crossword is asking for it, I'd say

T. S. Eliot died on this day in 1965. This photograph showing his empty desk was taken at the Faber office on Russell Square the day after Eliot's death.

On the second photograph, Eliot is shown with Helen Gardner, literary critic, scholar, and Faber author.

My father was always proud of his ability to turn a heel, learnt in the War, although I think it was too late for the Finns who were originally meant to receive the socks
