    ...reading 'Reasons to be Cheerful'.

    Think he has a column in the Guardian or Indo.

    Anyway, funny enough stuff, though I'm a sucker for 80s nostalgia, Maggie, Falklands, H Block, miner's strike... He does that 'it's like (insert ridiculous metaphor)' stuff a lot, but entertaining in a John O'Farrell kind of way.

    I sometimes watch the Mark Steele Lectures on BBC 4 you have to pay attention to get all the gags though! This should be in media forum methinks.

    yeah ive read reasons to be cheerful, it is an excellant book, and his one on the french revolution is also quite entertaining. i saw him speak at marxism 2003 in london about the russian revolution,and he was quite funny.(marxism is an SWP event, but im not a member just in case)
