Welcome
Simon Barnes used to use this page to lecture people about all manner of what-have-you. He was in serious danger of becoming one of those know-nothing twerps who crowd the internet with their half-baked ideas and faux expertise.
Fortunately, he got sick of the sound of his own sanctimonious nonsense and decided to live on planet earth for a while.
He has deleted all the posts from this site and won’t be writing any more until he has something worth saying. (Which could be a very long time.)
He’s a lovely bloke though. You should meet him. He’s nice.
