Amazon have e-mailed me to recommend, based on my previous purchases, that I acquire a copy of Parliaments and Governments in Western Europe. It is difficult to deny that it is a book that is very much central to my interests. As indeed is the other book they mention that is frequently purchased with this one: Parliaments and Pressure Groups in Western Europe. They certainly go together, along with the other book in the trilogy, Parliaments and Citizens in Western Europe. They all have the same editor…
Preaching to the converted?

I’m surprised they didn’t also recommend “Fly Fishing” by J.R. Hartley.
Dave H: I’ve never had to contact them to check if they have a copy!
I see how you managed to top the leader board, Frank, Let the battle of comments commence.
Lady Tizzy,
It is indeed relatively undemanding to post a single emoticon. On the other hand I am glad I took a hiatus so that I did not quite double the second position — you very tizziness…
ladytizzy: That’s two more to Frank…
I’m playing my joker. Ha!
Lord Norton, this might amuse you:

If ever there was such an apposite name for a site…
ladytizzy: How splendid. Perhaps you should change your name to Miss Marple. It is a very revealing site. I wonder if perchance Nick Leaton blogs under a pseudonym! Perhaps someone should put in an FOI request to find out how much it has cost in terms of public funds for Parliament to answer FOI requests from the aforementioned.
Haha! It just goes to show how easy it is to leave a trail on t’internets even with the best of efforts. I wonder how many people know who the wonderfully pseudonymous ‘Chris K’ is in real life…
Still, credit where’s it due to Mr Leaton. £138k for 12 robes? That is… bad. I’m convinced the previous government couldn’t have burnt money as fast as it spent it.
Chris K.,
This is the sort of comment I find idfficult to resist. Those wo know you only electronically through Lord Norton do know you a bit. As witness: http://lordsoftheblog.net/2009/11/05/prize-winner-at-the-lords/
On the other hand, the disguise is not useless. This is how your assumed name is answered from my part of the web:
