Yes, I suppose that it was wishful thinking! Ah Nietzsche, Kant, Wittgenstein, Hegel…………….Hill?

Oh come on AA that would be far too sensible. You don’t honestly expect them to do that do you? Whoever did that should take a leaf out of Benny Hill’s book, “Never assume because when you assume you make an ass out of U and me”.

I am slightly puzzled that on the Oxfam antiquarian book website, “The Flying Flea” by Henri Mignet (a snip at £50) is listed under music. If there some connection I am unaware of…
