If you are NOT reading the London Review of Books on the regular, try out this latest piece on Updike and see if it is of interest.
So many laugh-out-loud phrases that only a Brit could write. I can't quote most of them here.

@wsvincent I believe it was the great Mr Bugs Bunny esquire who asked the question "What's Updike?" before being told ‘I think you are a neat cunt.’ I'm Scottish. We're better at swearing than these fictional "Brits" you mention!
