It probably was. Reminds me of Brit comedian Dennis Pennis reviewing
some Hollywood blockbuster or other ......... "I was tied to my seat. If
I wasn't, I'd have left". Something I know Woolf *did* say is "a woman
must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction".
Applying that logic to Kev and Bri, they must be both penniless and
homeless.
Read the two "customer reviews" of the classical-music book "Penetrating
Wagner's Ring" (http://tinyurl.com/6psgcj).
Genius, though the humour
could be too "British" for some.
