Land of hope and glory

Letterfromlondon3 Last month I mentioned the Dr. Who night at the Proms. However, the best was yet to come and here it is! Tomorrow night will be the time for all you Anglophiles to stand up and sing. It's the last night of the Proms. Why is the last night so important, you ask? Shame on you! Although the Promenade Concerts are designed to cater to (almost) all tastes, it traditionally culminates in an orgy of patriotism on the last night. Running from the epic hymn to Britain, 'Jerusalem', to the sheer exuberance of 'Rule Brittania', I defy anyone listening with even a pinch of Britishness not to have tears in their eyes. So make a date for Saturday afternoon, go to the website above, turn up the volume, sing your heart out and damn anyone else. God save the Queen!

Laurence Cutner on books


  • Laurence feels that the genres of alternative history, sci-fi and fantasy have been ignored for too long. It’s time to lift the stones and rotting wood and let the sun shine in. This will be an adventure in time and space that we all can share. From Asimov to Turtledove and Rowling to Tolkien, this will be one heck of a ride. Strap yourselves in and start your rocket boosters. We are going to meet characters, both old and new, with, I hope, some surprises. Remember to also dodge the bullets; the odd military adventure will also come barreling along.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
