Aaah and now you quote one of my favourite lines from one of my favourite films "Comfort separates you from reality in a very direct way…comfort can lull you into a dangerous tranquility" I lie, I could never remember the line but I've told that story about the perils of sleeping with an electric blanket cutting you off from the reality of the cold and thus of homeless people to so many people.
And Will Self - a good thinker but too many fancy words to be a favourite. And in his BBC Radio 4 Point of View about living with dogs he didn't mention the most important thing which is what we as humans can learn about our own ageing and death from living with an old and dying dog.
Apologies if the over exuberance is embarrassing but reading your posts is like meeting someone who ought to have been my friend years ago.
