NO TROUBLE, NONE
“About a year ago, I was lunching with an old friend. Over coffee, we congratulated ourselves on having given up smoking, and we went on to tell each other how easy it had been and how smoothly we had drifted into the blissful, unenslaved state of the non-smoker. We agreed that we had achieved this without any hangover of nervous disability and we smiled upon each other in mutual selfsatisfaction. It was only then that I realised that, while we were talking, my friend was steadily eating his way into the earpiece of his spectacles and that I was endlessly fitting and most carefully refitting the cap of my fountain pen to the barrel.”—Writer and broadcaster, Kevin Fitzgerald.
