Much as Stevens declared that the only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream, I say the only critic is the critic of monstrously trivial nit-pickery.

The trouble with oral history books is thereās a temptation to rush when reading. Do not rush Shine On by Mark Blake, Floyd fans. This is one to savour. So much Floydian goodness between these pages: thoroughly research and tons of new insights. Highly recommended.

The nuclear codes were 1234. The Louvre security password was Louvre. Elite sex-conspirators list their names and crimes in emails and birthday cards to one another. At least Dan Brown had the church disguise its dark secrets by jumbling the letters up and doing mirror writing and lemon juice.
