I do not think the British want to become America's "Airstrip One," as the British Isles are called in George Orwell's "1984."

When looking at female body builders and reading about the industry and the culture, their bodies just break down. They end up having to get breast implants and not having menstrual cycles.

And the answer was always lost in a tangle of becauses and wells and endless reasons that he clung to like a drowning man at straws.

So there we are, lying there next to this amazing loch, and we're looking up in the stars and I don't really know what I was expecting, but to see some sort of metallic object.
