A Review on the Wilde Side...

I never read a book I have to review: 
it prejudices me so.

Sorry not to have blogged anything of interest over the last few days, but I've been working towards a deadline.

Back in July I blagged myself a free copy of a book on the grounds that I would review it.  The editor I proposed to do it for was a little vague about the deadline ('around the beginning of September'), so naturally enough I have been too!  Taking a semi-Wildean approach I've now finished it (though I've had some difficulty limiting myself to 500 words - isn't it always the case?).

Unless you're into the history of lifesaving, the review's not going to be of interest: if you are interested in the history of lifesaving, you should be a member of LSARS!  Go to their website now and join!

Anyway, normalish service should resume shortly and if anyone wants to send me free stuff, well...

A little bit of housekeeping

In my last batch of welcomes to new followers I said I couldn't find a blog for Ev.  It turns out that he's a part of the Soviet that produces Canister & Grape.  Welcome again Ev!

Catching Up on My Subs




I've finally got around to renewing my subs to LSARS - the Life Saving Awards Research Society - a really interesting and friendly group of people.  Unfortunately, the last time my subs came up for renewal I was otherwise engaged (in the Acute Care Unit) and allowed my membership to lapse...

Sadly, for my Mysterious Project to work I have to spend more money and show that I belong to Respectable Bodies.  I'm therefore renewing my subs to the Society for Nautical Research (lapsed 2006) and the OMRS (lapsed way back in about 1987).  It's amazing how these subs add up.
