Everyone who matters in daylight then.
If it's not Temple of the Golden Pavilion, no. That was decades ago, and I've had no desire to read another one since.

I never really liked that one either. My nomination is Sea of Fertility, a quartet comprising Spring Snow, Runaway Horses, Temple of Dawn, and the Decay of the Angel. It covers the changes in Japanese society through the 1900s and he committed suicide after handing in the final text to his editor/publisher, feeling he had nothing left to give.
His works offer a fascinating insight into the psyche of Japan through an incredibly turbulent era and are valuable for that alone. On top of it is his brilliant use of the Japanese language, probably on the same sort of level as James Joyce or Nabokov's use of English.
Fair enough, did nothing for me though.Kiwias wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 10:58 amHis works offer a fascinating insight into the psyche of Japan through an incredibly turbulent era and are valuable for that alone.

He definitely is not for everyone.Gumboot wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 11:07 amFair enough, did nothing for me though.Kiwias wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 10:58 amHis works offer a fascinating insight into the psyche of Japan through an incredibly turbulent era and are valuable for that alone.

Fergal Keane revealed recently that he suffers from PTSD, not really surprising considering were he's spent the bulk of his career.
It must grate that his salary doesn't reflect how tough his job is, compared with what some others get paid for doing SFA.
Fergal Keane - £210,000-£214,999
Laura Kuenssberg - £260,000-£264,999
Michael Vaughan - £225,000-£229,999
Jermaine Jenas - £220,000-£224,999
Clare Balding - £205,000-£209,999
Sue Barker - £180,000-£184,999
Sue Barker & McEnroe were the two that really burn; they only work a couple of fucking weeks a year !Blackmac wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 4:36 pmfishfoodie wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 3:31 pm The Beebs salary report is up !

How the fuck does a rank amateur like Jenas that much.
That's from a few years back. Some cocktail required for that level of performance though.Margin__Walker wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 7:22 am Strange set of lads. They were up here marching at the weekend.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, & no-one who has heard the testimony of the lying cow, is going to blame her Barristers for the inevitable outcome.
In her ruling, obtained by the PA news agency, Mrs Justice Steyn said it was "likely" that Rebekah Vardy's then-agent, Caroline Watt, "undertook the direct act" of passing the information to The Sun newspaper.
"Nonetheless, the evidence... clearly shows, in my view, that Mrs Vardy knew of and condoned this behaviour, actively engaging in it by directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney's posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt," she added.
Mrs Justice Steyn continued: "In my judgment, the conclusions that I have reached as to the extent to which the claimant engaged in disclosing to the Sun information to which she only had access as a permitted follower of an Instagram account which she knew, and Mrs Rooney repeatedly asserted, was private, suffice to show the single meaning is substantially true."
I haven’t seen anything about a costs order yet, but it’s quite possible Vardey will have to pay Rooney’s costs as well her own. As well as trashing her own reputation she could find herself having to pay out a few million in lawyers fees.SaintK wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 11:19 amYep lying through her teeth
