.............from laughing, and that's just reading a review of a collection of Auberon Waugh's writing which I've now ordered off Amazon. Here's him on the subject of dieting. Stunning!!!
'Dieting destroys brain cells and permanently impairs mental performance. It distorts moral perceptions and tends towards unsafe driving, removing all libido whilst making the dieter more prone to HIV and its concomitant scourge Aids. It makes those who fall victim stupid, mad, ugly and boring. Death is seldom long delayed.'
and on politics:-
'There is no point or purpose in any form of political idealism. Not only does socialism do nothing to improve the lot of the poor, making it indeed considerably worse, but capitalism also, by scattering plenty o'er a smiling land, creates as much vileness and havoc as socialism creates poverty and oppression'.
Wonderful!
